I thought after I got grown it would go away. I don't have a lot of acne like teens do. But I do ocassionally have a few break outs. I have tried many products. I use to love Murad - but it is like my skin has become immune to it or something. It no longer works for me - but it is good product. I don't want to be an adult that suffers for rest of my life with acne. I have also visit dermatologist, etc.. I eat right, drink some water, and on and on. Thanks for any advice or suggestions.

Hello drdivu - thanks I will try lime juice. In past I have used Doxycycline 100mg tablet, but really didn't help me. However, I will try the lime juice. thanks again.

you could try rubbing some garlic. Just cut it in half and rub it on the problem spots. You'll feel a bit of burning sensation but it'll disappear in a while. And the best thing is it does not leave any scars after recovering. Gdluck!

Hi zura80 - ok I will try that - I do take garlic orally, but never knew about applying it directly. Thanks I will try it.

Try some tooth paste, it works real fast, and acne will dry right up.
