What will get rid of adult acne?!
Question: What will get rid of adult acne.?
I need some advice from the experts or from someone with this same problem. I am almost 38 and I still have adult acne! I get it mostly on my chin area. I feel like I have tried everything from Proactive to Noxzema. What is a inexpensive way of getting rid of this acne without going to a dermatologist (which I have tried as well).?Health Question & Answer

Hi, A Zinc deficiency is definitely a cause of acne as Zinc builds the immune system. However for Zinc to work well, you have to take at least 450mg of Zinc per day for a period of about 14 days. This will give you about 90mg of elemental Zinc. After 14 days go down to 150mg of Zinc per day and this will give you about 30mg elemental zinc per day. This will boost your immune system and get the organs (of which the skin is the largest) to function well and clean out the body of toxins. also drink a lot of water!!. The best form of Zinc is Zinc Picolinate as it has a picolinic acid which is the same as your stomach and thus absorbs well. You cannot overdose on this amount stated above as your body will get rid of any excess zinc through the urine. All cells in your body need Zinc to function and it is estimated that about 48% of the world population is Zinc deficient. The best tablet I have found containing Zinc Picolinate is Zinplex, available at www.zinplexskin.com I have used it after doing my research on Zinc and it really works well. It is natrual stuff and I experienced no side effects, just positive results after about a month.Health Question & Answer
I would reccomend going to an endocrinologist to see if the problem is internal. One solution I've found that works is using a mild cleanser, a BP cream all over the face, and a moisturiser twice a day. I would also reccomend eating a lot of fruits and vegetables and drinking a lot of water.
Ive also tried all the prescription creams, and retin-A is the only one that has worked for my stubborn chin acne. Unfortunatly I have not found a over the counter solution for my chin acne. It is the only area I cannot get completely clear.Health Question & Answer

Yes, a lot of people treat acne as if it will go away after a few weeks of treatment. Not so. So far there are no known cures. In other words you have to use the acne product continuously. My acne issue is periodical due to hormonal status, and I use proactive too.Health Question & Answer
