I had the same problem. I wash my face daily with neutrogena deep clean cream cleanser (I use that same brand/line but exfoilating 2 times a week) then either put retin_a on my face (it's prescription only, ask your doc) or a max. strength Oxy pad.

my opinion is to get any kind of acne wash with <a href="benzoyl%20peroxide" onmouseover="window.status='benzoyl peroxide'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">benzoyl peroxide</a>. but try some products such as Neutrogena,Cetaphil,Loreal Pure Zone(works well) and Clean and Clear. if you are able to go to the dermotologist get the prescription for acne and it will be able to be controlled and prevented. xoxo peachgirly

Hey.. my acne can get pretty bad at times too. I found that neutrogena oil free acne wash works pretty good. You should use neutrogena rapid clear acne eliminating spot gel after that though. Just put it on the spots taht you break out most, and have pimples already. If you put it where you don't need it your skin may dry out a little but it really does work great adn im very happy with it. Good luck! Hope i helped!

Well you did not say if you are a girl or a boy, and yes it makes a difference. Acne is caused by a male hormone called antigen. Even in girls. You cannot cure acne, you can only manage it, and this is important. Acne is caused by the male hormone, but also two other things. Bacteria and dead skin cells. First, you need to keep your face extremely clean. You have to limit your exposure to bacteria, and guess what, there is bacteria on EVERYTHING. Buy don't worry, you can minimize it. Never use the same towels as everyone else in the house. Keep your hands away from your face, Never go to sleep with make-up on, (if your a girl). Always use clean towels. If this is a problem with mom, then dry your face with paper towels. Now, you also have to exfoliate to make sure that dead skin cells come off when they should. YOu can use an exfoliating sponge. A white rought fiber sponge. I think biore makes one, but I have found some cheaper ones, for about $1.00. this will remove the dead skin cells before they get a chance to clog your pores. Or you can use an exfoliating scrub. About 6 dollars. Now if you have oily skin, you might also want to use a product. Sure ProActive is good, but it is expensive; It is the ingredients that matter, not the name on the label. So you need to find acne products or oily skin products that contain glycolic acid, or benzoyl peroxide, or sulful. All are good for oily skin. Also keep this in mind. Each skin cell lives 28 days. When you star to use a new product on your skin, you will not see an improvement for 28 days, so be patient, and give it a chance. If in 28 days, you don't see an improvement, then that product is not working for you, it is time to try something else. I hope this helped.

Well, Proactiv will help clear your skin but it's not an acne medicine, as my dermatologist told me a few days ago. Proactiv costs around $30-$40 and it will clear up your skin and it's worth the price. Try using acne facial washes and creams by Clean n Clear, Clearasil, or Neutrogena.

If your acne is getting bad, then you should go see a dermatologist and get prescribed Differin. It works wonders and it helps me for when I get small breakouts.
