Try going to your pharmacy and getting some special soap for acne, or asking the pharmacist for some help. Try not to pop any zits that you get either, cos those will leave scars

I have found that alot of the products you buy at the store always made my skin worse. I dont really attack mine anymore, and my acne has calmed down significantly now. I used to take a prescription from my doctor, he gave me Doxycycline. It worked good, moreso over time and when I used it as it was prescribed. I slowly stopped taking it and now I dont need to. Your best bet is to see your doctor, they can give you the best advice (normally telling you to start out washing your face at least twice a day with soap and water, nothing fragrancy, etc....) but if the normal routine doesnt work, they may try giving you something, and then if not they can refer you to a dermatoligist who will specialize in the treatment of acne, and therefore will almost positively be able to help you clear it up.

Benzoyl Peroxide is the best product - you can purchase it at any local pharmacy - look for a 2.5% solution.

A good facial hygiene regimen is always a good idea. My family is known for having a horrible ability to attract acne. I've used Proactiv for about a year and I've been totally clean. Sure one or two pop up but nothing huge.

Where are most of your Acne? I used to have lots on my forehead, and then my mum told me it was lack of sleep, I triewd her and hey, it worked, They started to clear a little.

Different people have different reaction to different products, you can just try around with different products and You'll eventually find one that works well for you.

Just basicly, I would say, wash you're face 2 times a day, and whenever you're in the shower wash you're face with bar soap. Also, if you're face is sweating, don't rub it on anything.

I think everyone does that, for people with acne simply water and soap won't work.

See, I have a bit of acne. Not much, and it isnt really big ( you might notice if you stare at my face, but a quick glance you might see ) and I just use soap and water, and it comes off slowly but surely. I have never had enough to justify a purchase from the Pharmacy. But I hope to everyone who does need Medical help for their acne, that it goes away soon. [Smile]
