    Hello everyone,
    my girlfriend suffers from acne and has been trying everything she can to get it to halt. She has been to many dermatologists and been prescribed different antibiotics, no avail. we eat mostly fresh vegetables and consider ourselves to be healthy. Renee uses sulfur compound pastes and is religious on keeping her face clean and washes it at least twice a day-- thoroughly.

    Any ideas or suggestions? please, this is tearing her apart, mostly because she thinks it should have ended by know. she is 26.

    thanks for reading, and I hope some of you might have some tips,
    Jordan.

    She should try Proactiv or products that contain Benzoyl Peroxide. This should work, but if it doesn't she should go to the doctor and ask for birth control pills. Diane35 is very good for curing acne.
    Age has nothing to do with acne, well, maybe a little bit. Probably after 40 she is not going to have this problem, but she is concerned about the present.
    I had bad acne and my cure was Proactiv, as long as I use it, which was for 2 years, after I stoped it came back, but not as much.
    Right now I am acne free. I just wash my face with Tea Tree liquid face wash and after I use a lotion with Vitamin C.
    She should try Panoxyl soap bar, has benzoyl peroxide as its main ingredient. But all these treatments based on this ingredient have to be done for months, maybe years. I know it sounds like a eternity, but it's worth it.

    Good luck!

    I think your girlfriend should try tetracycline based antibiotics.
