What else could I use for my acne?

I have absolutely TERRIBLE acne.Currently,I have this huge a$$ 'growth' right next to my nose and I want it gone before school starts and that's in like TWO FREAKIN WEEKS!!! I've been using Clean&Clear for YEARS and doesn't do squat.What other type of...

face wash could I use other than proactiv because I know it's expensive and I'm really short on money right now.

I don't know about face wash, but I've heard that if you put toothpaste on a big blemish it dries it right up.

Good luck

well I know if your prone to acne then thoughes things can have no affect (espically after a long use)or can make it worse so try a mix of a lot of things but I wouldnt reccomend proactive because it burns really bad.

Iight havent you ever heard of something named
proactive
ask about it
I'm sure it will do
if you use right
and let me know what's good

try acne free...it works for me.. I hope for you too.. and its affordable than proactiv...

Yes and therein lies the clue...

... toothpaste is one of a kind of astringent... look up astringent on google and it will show you what you could possibly use on your face safely.

Some blemish concealers act like an astringent...it could be a case of experimentation to see what suits you personally.

You could always get a sachet of mud pack and use a little every day as an astringent.

I use Clearasil. It says that it starts to work in three days, but for me it normally works in just one day. So its VERY EFFECTIVE!!!

I had horrible acne for years and no topical thing would work because it had to do with my body and not just my skin which may be the case for you. What worked for me was a pill called Minocycline it clears acne up and also prevents it and now im virtually acne free

I am a 10 year dermatologist. I graduated from Tulane University in New orleans. The best thing to do is wash your face twice a day (morning and night.) I would suggest PROACTIVE. It works fast, and great. Stay away from cleansers that are high in toner, it may irritate your skin and cause a HUGE breakout. Keep oil absorbant sheets in your pocket book, and use them after a work out, or anything that makes you "sweat." Drink LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of water, have a well balanced diet, and you will be FINE. Adios!

clean and clear .
nutrogena .
proactive .

Proactive is like the best stuff except you have to use like every night before you go to bed and every morning when you wake up wich sucks but it works so I hope I helped see ya.
