Hi. Im 17 from the uk and ive just
purchased one bottle of actimine over the
internet.
I wouldnt say I have bad acne at all..But
at least a mild form mainly restricted to
my forhead. However these ''pills'' claim
that they can rid of whiteheads and
blackheads and generally contribute to a
healthy facial complexion(which is always
good). The treatment states no side
effects but could I damage my skin by
takeing the pills, because my spots arent
that bad?If I come off the treatment after
two or three months with good results will
my skin flare up worse than before? I
havnt began treatment but im mainly
worried about worsening my spots...Is
there any chane that they might get
worse?
Cheers, any help will be appreciated

Hmmm ive never heard of this before. But
if your acne does have a bit of a flair up
dont stop. That is normal with pretty
much any medication you take for acne.
All the crap comes up from the surface and
then it all leaves the body. Natures
cure, tetracycline, accutane etc... All
does it so I wouldnt be suprised if this
does. But be patient and you will be
clear soon. The only medication I know
that never gave me an inital breakout and
cleared me from day 1 is benzoyl peroxide.

Accutane is a good pill but is for severe
acne. If you dont have severe acne you
wont get it. Tetracycline takes forever
to work.

I've never tried pills before, but I also
have achne mostly on my forehead, and no
where else... If you have bangs (some
guys do) that might be the problem of your
achne, keep your hair oil free from your
face. At night, I put on sea breeze
astringent for oily skin (the blue kind),
and it helps alot... I alternate with
seabreeze at night and neutrogena face
wash in the morning. Try avoiding dairy
products (such as cheese) and greasy
foods.

I used accutane way back in the day when
my skin was still giong through changes.
It really upset my mood quite a bit so my
doc took me off of it. The only thing
that worked back then to keep my acne at
bay was oral contraceptives (birth control
pills). These did cause me to gain weight
though. I doubt they would give it to
guys though for obvious reasons.
