    Most over the counter preparations do not work for ance, the only treatments that have been proven to work are available from the doctor (ie they've been subject to trials).

    My advice for most people is go to the doctor, and get topical gels, antibiotics, or if the acne is causing damage to the skin, ask to get referred to a dermatologist asap. If your doctor doesn't help you, get a new doctor.

    The Acne Support Group has useful fact sheets on what treatments work and a magazine (though you will need to become a member , though that is much cheaper than wasting money on over the counter stuff). The quality of their material is much better than the website incidently.

    I'd also recommend this book - the good skin doctor - Anthony Chu

    These "free" bonuses seem only to be given when you make a purchase, the site is American and therefore in dollars. It all looks more than a bit dubious to me.:rolleyes:
    Debt free = December 2010...as of March 2006 it is now January 2010..... as of December 2008 it is now December 2009 :j hopefully sooner!!
    :jDEBT FREE:j January 2012, took longer but I got there, all by myself, through sheer hard work and pride!

    I did a google on Lativio LLP and the results put me off.

    It's all legit. In fact they got 6 month full money guarantee for their products, that definetly stands for something.

    there is a big difference between 'ACNE' and spots

    Acne is a medical conditon which one will need to seek medical advice, the other spots can be cleared up with a healthier diet..

    I would always be cautious with what I pop on my skin.. Simply because I had a freind who tried a product and ended up having to be treated for something else...

    I would always steer clear of the 'heal quick sites' they are usually just money spinners.. Or even get the product checked out by your doctor..
    It's amazing what you can learn when you listen...

    My dhermatologist proscribed me with some "salty water" stuff which burned like hell when I applied it, I'm not sure was there some type of alcohol involved aswell, but I know I was red like an indian after I put that on my face. Thats way I tried this, and thats way I wrote this here - the product is mild to the skin and it helped me, I think theres something that works in those herbal pills.

    And they have free bonuses for orders, sorry if I posted it in the wrong place :(

    I ended up using Roaccutane. At age 33 after nearly 20 years of acne!
    Don't delay in seeing your gp if you have skin problems as they make you try stuff for at least 6 months at a time! I wasted YEARS like that. And whilst Roaccutane can have severe side effects, I don't regret taking it at all.
    Also, don't use stuff that dries your skin out as it'll encourage it to produce more sebum. Remember, you still need to moisturise it and protect it from the sun too.
    When it comes to thought, some people stop at nothing.........

    I'm not saying its a scam or that the product dosnt work its just what came up in the search that put me off.

    They seem to be associated with lots of other (debatable) medical wonders, which doctors advice you to stay away from.

    the only downside seems to be if you get it early (i started getting acne at 12) then it stays with you til later (still not completely clear at 25!).

    i'm promised that this means that i'll have wonderful young looking skin until i'm 80 (and if ANYONE bursts that bubble for me, there will be tears!!:rotfl: )

    the only thing to make a difference to me, after 3/4 years of trying every cream and antibiotic going, was dianette. definitely going to the GP is the way forward.
