uh I hate tea tree oil smell! and lots of skin porducts for problem skin are with tea tree oil and I have to stand it
applying essential tea tree oil does nothing to me though

Have you tried using any astringents?

I have a twin pimple that going to burst out anytime soon it's big, it's red and it's painful.

Tell me about it

Yeah im on antibiotics, have been for about a month. And i also had a cream to put on at night but i saw no improvements so i went back to the doctor and he was like this new cream makes u really sun sensitive and is the last ditch for me unless i get roacatain or w/e its called but id rather not kill my skin cells.

For clogged pores I think a light exfoliator would help a lot.

Crimson C.C-May I ask what antibiotics you are on?

I think I've used astringent toners in the past... are there any other astringents other than toners?

I cut off an aloe vera leaf, split it and spread the juices over my face before going to bed last night. Woke up & my skin was really soft. Acne was still there, but it's being particularly persistent lately.

I recommend it!

Has anyone tried sudocream? i've been using it for the last few nights and i've noticed an improvement, cheap and cheerful and easy to leave on overnight-antiseptic and healing!

 

[dumbfairy]

^YESSSS! I've been using it religously for about 6 months.My skin is unbelievable soft,but it definetly has to be appleid overnight or you look all white

 

[cherryblossoms]

^
is aloe vera whitening?

 

[dumbfairy]

^It's the sudocrem that is

Surely not good for oily skin? I was looking at the website and ingredients of 'Heavy Liquid Paraffin' & "Paraffin wax". Surely those could clog pores?

^On the tub it says acne is one of the conditions it can help

 

[Deleted member 106803]

Yeah, I saw that too. But it's not designed for acne, so be careful

 

[Liberty Belle]

Um..has anyone tried Clinique anti blemish stuff..is it any good?
I am willing to pay if it works
