16/f...I've always had acne, always. But recently it's gotten a lot worse. I dont know what kind of lighting they use in school but jeez, it makes my breakouts look way worse than at home. my breakouts are all over my forehead and i have blackheads on my nose and some on my chin, also under my eyes. On my cheeks im starting to develop some red dots. I hate having acne it makes me feel extremely self concious so i really need to know how to get rid of it.
I've tried virtually everything out there. Toothpaste is not an option...thats gross. I've tried a lot of different brands and they all work at first but then then stop working. Help! It's pretty important to me because i need more self confidence!
Gina.

Through some medical issue, his doctor advised him to take fiber pills. It seriously cleared up in about a week. Good luck! [ astroengineer's advice column | Ask astroengineer A Question ]

Just walk by a mall makup counter...they have them everywhere because they want to sell you makeup. :)
One thing that I have heard that work is the "ZENO" I have not personally tried it, but a few of my friends and their children have them and they say it works, but not on blackheads. Upon reading this question, I searched "zeno acne reviews" and came up with some very interesting responses. So, try that.
I will warn you though that the Zeno is expensive, so I dont know how much money you want to spend, but that might be an option.

One thing that I have used forever to keep my acne under control is called "Nature's Cure" I don't know if you have ever tried it, but you can buy it at Wal-Mart, Target etc for about 9-10 dollars. There is a kind for males and one for females, so make sure you get the right one. You take one pill in the AM and one the PM and in about a week...sha-zam! You are all clear. It also comes with some topical cream. (I have to use that during my Aunt Flo's visits **wink-wink**)
I hope that helps. But no matter what always know that you really are beautiful. Even when you don't feel that way.
