    Hi guys...

    Can some one name any antibiotic cure for acne thats a little cheaper? All antibiotics I've reviewed so far are really expensive and it gets very difficult to control budget in a six months treatment..

    Can you share some pls?

    the truth is that the makers of acne nd acne itself is a billion dollar industry..Everyone wants a clear face..and thats why the most priciest medications r the ones for ur face for acne

    the longer a medication is out for, the less expensive it is going to be, for example the new differin XP gel is very expensive because it just came out not long ago,
    but if your looking for a very cheap anti biotic for acne research erythromycin. It is very cheap, i haven't had much success with it but alot of people have.
    take care,
    Andy

    After years of antibiotics, creams (differin, tazorac, and many more), washes, spot treatments, and pills, I have finally found a method that works, and continues to work. It's so cheap that it will never gain acclaim.

    It's called the oil cleansing method. I was skeptical at first too, but hear me out. Make the following mixture according to your skin (you might have to readjust as time goes on. My skin was not as oily as I thought. The products I was using were drying my face out, which made my body produce more oil, so I used more product, so my face got drier....).
    Dry skin: 25% castor oil, 75% other oil
    Normal: 50% castor oil, 50% other oil
    Oily: 75% castor oil 25% other oil

    Castor oil can be found in the laxative aisle. It's a cleansing agent, and slightly drying, so you really need to add some "other oil" to it. My personal choice is Extra Virgin Olive Oil, because I have it in my cabinets anyway. Sunflower oil is a good choice too. Anything natural, really. Do NOT use baby oil or mineral oil.

    So take this mixture, and rub it into your face--on top of make-up and dirt is fine. Then, take a washcloth, and dip it in HOT water (I boil water and let it cool down to a comfortable temperature). Don't burn yourself! Lay the washcloth on your face and let it steam the pores open. Do this once or twice, rinsing the washcloth in between. Then wipe your face thoroughly to remove all the oil.

    This method really works, and it only takes a few days to a week to start showing progress. I think it only took me 2 weeks to be completely cleared up. The reason this works is the chemistry principle of "like dissolves like". That is, the oil will dissolve the oil on your face. It even gets out the tiny blackheads on my chin and nose. If you don't wash your face well, the oil will stay on there and clog your pores worse. I found out that I don't clean next to my ears very well.

    This has worked wonders for me. You can find more info by googling ocm or Oil cleansing method. Hope this helps you--it's been a miracle for me!

    Hi michiru86, i thank you for sharing your cure with us and I will try it too as soon as I get the castor oil. I hope it will work for me as good as it worked for you.

    Tetracycline is the most widely prescribed antibiotic for acne. The usual starting dose is 500 mg twice a day continued until a significant decrease in acne lesions is seen.
