ok im a 14 year old male with moderate- moderately severe acne
my acne has decreased about 40% since i started using the Zenmed Derma Cleanse system, but its still kind of bad
i’ve just stated using the queen helene mint julep mask-and i dont know how often to use it- i have combination skin
i also have bad back acne and lots of scars
does anyone know of acne treatment that works really well?
You should see the dermatologist for prescribed acne med. (I say this since you described it as moderate) Make sure you’re not picking on them. Have you tried the Benzoyl Peroxide 10% Gel?
As to Queen Helene, I would say 1-2x a week is enough. Some people say it’s best to leave it on for 20-25 minutes instead of the recommended 15….
Acne and Rosacea treatment information from ZENMED
how do u do it? how long do u leave the juice on?
when will i see results?
Lemon juice wash
Wash with hot water and a facial brush or washcloth. Squeeze a fresh lemon into a small bowl and put the juice on a cotton ball. Apply cotton ball to face. Repeat soaking of cotton ball in lemon juice as needed. Let lemon juice dry on face for about 10 minutes then rinse with cool water. The lemon juice should make your face sting or mildly burn. For sensitive skin, dilute juice with filtered water.
Once the skin is regenerating (after two weeks using gentle, natural treatments) you may want to add a stronger facial exfoliant. Many cosmetic manufacturers produce Glycolic acid formulas (15 percent strength). Avoid products that contain heavy moisturizing ingredients and alcohol. Glycolic acid helps loosen or break up the outer layer of the skin and prevents excessive build-up of dead skin cells.
Vitamin A derivatives (retinoids) – topical vitamin A acid – normalizes the way skin grows and sheds and stabilizes the openings of pores. It also creates an unwelcome environment for bacteria. Retin-A and other retinoids in cream or gel are available by prescription only. Side effects include red skin and peeling, and sun sensitivity. Do not use during pregnancy
