hey man,
I'm 15, so acne is no alien burden to me, and it definitely doesn't help my confidence either. I asked my doctor a while back and she recommended pretty much anything with benzoyl peroxide. I personally use something called Duac, but its a bit pricey and is prescription, but if you're like me, you get it cheap using on line Canadian pharmacies. Benzoyl Peroxide, at least for me, has cleared up my acne well and in a short period of time. If i could, i would check the "yes, i would recommend this product to a friend" box.
here are a few causes to my acne, so maybe treating these will help you too:
-lots of stress
-prolonged exposure in the sun
-sleeping face/cheek down.

All the best to you

[fun fact: this is my first ever post]

best way to get rid of moderate to severe acne that works 95 percent of the time is accutane. it will change your life

accutane is generally and end to acne, period, but always check out the side-effects (accutane is extremely controversial, my dermatologist says she will never give out a prescription)

always wash your pillowcase after (max) 3 days and drink lots of water
don't touch you face with anything! incl. a phone, look at how much grease is already on that mofo

Use a clean pillowcase every night the best part is it's cheap and can be used with any other SPAM you want. Try it for 2 weeks. If it helps keep doing it if not it's not going to.

DO WORK

Just wash your face in the morning and at night everyday with cool water so bacteria and oil won't get into the pores and turn into a pimple. It's simple!

Just suck it up and get Proactiv. It works for almost everyone. However...doesn't look so sexy on the bathroom counter.

Saltwater, tea-tree oil, and benzol peroxide all work well. And spending time outside (moderate sun) and exercising (sweating) are also great for the skin.

All great advice but again people forget what acne is, once you understand what acne is you should see your doctor, MD....cmon people we dont have dermetologists for no reason.

Acne is a medical problem (research it, its true)
See doctor
Understand why YOU(Only YOU) get acne
and get the right medication for it.

Me personally have never tryed all the bullshit acne SPAM such as "proactive" and the rest of that crap.... simple avoided certain lotions with certain ingrediants.

For mmost ppl acne is caused by stress.....RECOMENDATION? WORRY LESS ABOUT IT! Just "Forgeta'boutitttt".
