wat nasty side effects?
I know proactiv has been discussed, but i'll say this anyway. Proactiv says having such a low concentration of benzoyl peroxide, 2.5%, makes the product mild so it doesn't irritate your skin. Heaps of other cleansers would make my face so red and sore coz it was so potent. But proactiv didn't *smiles like jess simpson* and it did kinda dry my skin a bit, but if you use the moisturiser along with the three steps, its fine.pete_mate said:as for the products, they all have the same ingredient, including pro-active. "benzoyl peroxide"... ill buy the topical creme with the highest percentage benzoyl peroxide. easy. 10-15% is good.
this is because benzoyl peroxide is recommended by dermitologists and stuff.
Works for me just fine.Argonaut said:You're better off not using Nutrimetics. While their products might work, they're hardly effective. And make sure you avoi stuff called pHisohex - it literally strips the skin off your face.
I spose it depends on your skin type. My sis uses phisohex and it doesnt effect herdani_danoz said:Works for me just fine.
you can purchase it at parramatta wesfields on level two, theres a stand thereflipsyde said:I would get pro activ cos I knwo it works Ive seen other peoples results... but alas Im not allowed to order things over the fone lol
Not only that, but Roaccutane is very expensive for the government as they subsidise it.Argonaut said:Prescription only. I mentioned it earlier, your GP is far more likely to prescribe Doxyline first because Roacutane has some nasty side effects ...
You care about ripping off the gov? Take as much as u fkn can. Get roaccutane and rort them like crazy!iambored said:Not only that, but Roaccutane is very expensive for the government as they subsidise it.
No, that is another reason why the dermos are more likely to prescribe other things first.LexxY said:You care about ripping off the gov? Take as much as u fkn can. Get roaccutane and rort them like crazy!
yeah cos its like killing an ant with an atom bomb when you can just step on it thats whyiambored said:No, that is another reason why the dermos are more likely to prescribe other things first.

ha you know nothing about antibiotics...thats how peopel become resistant to things.. by taking antibiotics stronger than they need to. Thats why they try you on other things first.pete_mate said:but other ants will come, your better off causing a nuclear winter with radiation that kills all future ants
Well, yes and no. The problem with using mild antibiotics is that resistance is much more likely to occur, as bacteria are exposed to low doses which allow them to learn how to pump out the drug/change their cell walls etc. It really is a matter of balancing the two. I personally don't like kids with mild acne taking antibiotics when there are other options available, especially the oral ones. Having said that, all acne creams are anti-microbal, and really topical ones are the best.flipsyde said:ha you know nothing about antibiotics...thats how peopel become resistant to things.. by taking antibiotics stronger than they need to.
It depends on the severity of the acne for it to be used. I used it two years ago for a while and I gained weight (not heaps, but it was a dress size - I hadn't grown before that since about year 7) and it did muck up my periods and moods.googled said:For girls, the pill is often used to control acne, and is actually very effective. The best advice is talk to your GP.
