I wash my face regularly. During the day, I wipe away any oil build up with tissue paper. If I feel a zit coming on, I apply either rubbing alcohol or -- I shit you not -- toothpaste. I don't know why it works, but it does. It dries that shit out.

Ha! Accutane has been known to put people into super depression.Quote:

I had horrendous acne and tried tetrocycline and all the skin cleansers and nothing worked until I took accutane. Now my skin is flawlessly smooth and I rarely get any blemishes. Some time after I got off the drug I got depressed but I think it was too long of a time between to be related. Besides, that's what anti-depressants and illegal drugs are for. Now that I have my beauty and vanity, women throw themselves at me and life is grand. It's so very true too: 5 years ago, girls couldn't look me in the eye, now the other day I had a girl on the train grab me by the collar and asking me to fuck her. The glories of modern medicine. Even better, I never wash my face and I rub my hands up and down my cheeks all day long and eat all the pizza in the world and it's still all good, that shit is gone.
Diff is right tho, it does fuck with your body. For a while when you're first taking it, you're still acne-covered only now your joints ache (especially the knees), your lips are chapped to shit and you can't drink alcohol or your liver will burst. But stick it through and you're set for life.
Well, not for life. I took Acutane and it killed my acne dead. But now, after about 4 years i'm starting to slowly get zits again.
I'm fortunate enough to have superior skin and very little acne. One little pimple here and there. I did, however, love it when those commercials about acne with that mexican guy came on.
"People think that I eat too many chocolate bar or that I dun wash m'face."
GOLD!
I have a friend who swears by aloe, although I've never tried it.
Usually I just use clean&clear stuff to treat blemishes, and it always works.
I don't have enough acne to justify trying something with unpleasant side effects.
Besides, not having any zits wouldn't make me much better looking considering all the ingrown hairs, mosquito bites, and cuts I get on my face.
ummm results in a day or two? don't pimples only last that long? unless you guys got fucking superman zits this seems silly.Quote:
