With this treatment the acne will disappear in a short time but I do not find the products for sale because I will talk live in Portugal, but if you want I can send by mail. Every night before going to bed put the scrub from Clean & Clear in the morning after getting up rinse your face with Dove soap (yes, soap! This is fantastic and eliminates any greasiness), then weekly to make masks Clean & Clear. All simple and economical. I have helped! my boyfriend kiss resulted 😀 💋

But if the problem is really serious consult a dermatologist and he will prescribe a treatment based on aloe vera.

I don't think you can help her tbh. All you can do is tell her she's beautiful and that everyone has flaws. I know how she feels I have exactly the same problem. She needs to suck it up and don't give a f about what people think. Everyone has insecurities but they make us stronger.

Acne is normally caused by clogged pores or hormones. A lot of people think that acne only happens to unhygienic people who don't shower regularly but that is SO not true. I for example wash my face twice or 3 times a day and I still get acne. There isn't necessarily a 'cure' for acne but there are things that help. Applying lemon juice or vitmain c on scarring can help. Face washes and topical treatments that contain Salicylic Acid help dry out and calm acne. Applying I've onto a blemish can reduce inflammation. Your friend should also make sure her foundation and concealer are hypoallergenic. She should check out these people on YouTube(they'll help her gain confidence and learn more about acne): Cassandra Bankson, themakeupchair, Andreaschoice, Jess Bunty, banishacnescars. There are many more.
Remember~ everyone has flaws and she's not alone.

I had acne problems when I was 13, it lowered my self esteem, I stopped wearing makeup because it made it worse. I found a face wash by biore, it's called blemish fighting ice cleanser, it makes your skin feel cold and tingly but it is amazing, my face has cleared up and now I can wear my makeup again!

I'm 22 and I still can't control my acne but I have been washing my face with cetaphil cleanser morning and night. My nightly routine I usually use facial brush cleanser which I got from amazon and is amazing. The brand is Toilettree and it's very affordable. After that I exfoliate my face then dry it off. I will apply a toner with cotton pad to my face I was using neutrongena alcohol free but I switched to the simple brand for sensitive skin. After that usually I'll just apply aveeno moisturizer but at lease 2 to 3 times out of the week at night I would squeeze lemon juice on cotton pad and apply it to dark spots after I put my toner. Good luck I've been fighting with hormonal acne all my life. Just be cautious what you put on your face.

Get rid of everything with chemicals and acids. Get all natural cleansers, toners, and sulfur clay mask and argan oil. Mine cleared up in 3 weeks after I tossed all of my chemicals. I've been battling acne for 3 years. I tried it all. Also, drink lots of water, and I take shots of pure lemon juice with Apple cider vinegar. So gross! But very cleansing.
