Dont use any type of acne products such as proactive murad ect ect wash ur face with like dove soap and go to the docters. birth control pills helps ALOT it helped me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seriously also amoxicillion works! its a anti biotic go see ur docter! birth control pills is better cause amoxicillion u have to take 3 times a day and it can easily cause a yeast infection. but just use a mild soap on ur face when u wash it i personally use dove soap (bar soap) i like the pink and gentle exfoliation. they also have some for sensitive skin. drink lots of water and dont get to stressed out about things! hope this helps

Having had acne since 10 years old, I can tell you that there are so many products that promise to help, but don 't. Please educate yourself about products before you buy ANYTHING...go to paulaschoice.com and read up on acne treatments and products. Many companies make acne products that make it worse. I realize you 're young and may not be able to make purchases online so talk to your parents about purchasing Paula 's products...they may seem expensive, but they are much larger than what you would buy anywhere else, which makes them much cheaper. And no, I don 't have anything to do with the website. I just discovered it 2 months ago. I bought samples of everything first. They cost anywhere from 50 cents to 1.20, which is not a big expense. If they work for you, great. If not, Paula refers you to different products you can buy at the drugstore.

Drying out your skin with soap and other things is BAD for your pores and will cause acne. I think that acne is the same as general skin health. Your diet is a hue factor. Dairy will cause acne better than anything else. Your liver is the key to skin health. Treat your liver right and your skin will show it. Your liver loves it when you are constantly hydrated and doesn 't have to process foods too much. Lemon peels are great, milkthistle seed extract too.

Well, this is what i do. I usually do this out of the shower because all my pours are opened. I use one of those blackhead pressers and i squeeze out my blackheads. When i finish, i wash the presser and i wash my face. Then i put on a moisturizer. If its a pimple, i like aloe vera. i put it on for a week or so, and the pimple is gone!
