Acne Free Severe formula?

So, i have acne all over my face, and before i do to the dermatologist for pills, i am thinking about getting acne free severe formula. I am using proactive and it is not working.

My questions:

1) is it better than proactive?

2) I dont know if my acne is considered severe or not, so would it mess up my skin or cause more problems if i use it but it turns out i dont have severe acne?

    I use the regular Acne Free. Not the Severe one.

    I like it. It doesn't horribly dry out your face. I like that.

    I have friends who use Proactiv and said it sucked.

    And if it DOES do anything because your acne isn't 'severe', it will probably just dry it out a little more than the regular one.

    Plus, I think you'd know if your acne was severe or not.

    Severe means it's all over and always there.

    Regular would be you have some and it might always be there, but it's not horrible.

    NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL

    1/ Never, ever touch your face.

    2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.

    3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal

    4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.

    Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.

    5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.

    6/ Do this for 90 days.

    7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

    Source:

    A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a

    nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

    The secret is never to touch the spots

    Neutrogena just came out with Skin ID, which is tailored to your specific acne type, skin tone, etc. You go online to http://www.skinid.com/econsumer/clearskin/index.vi... and answer some questions about your skin, and they come up with customized face wash/scrub, toner, and acne treatment. Plus they give you a free carrying case and spot treatment. I use it and it's working pretty well so far. I like it because it's so personal. Hope this helps.
