It works pretty well for me but I don't know, evsryones skin is diferent.
Other tips:
• Some shampoos and conditioners (like the Dove line) are really oily and can cause bad break outs along your hairline area or anywhere the shampoo or conditioner runs along your face. The BEST brand to use that had no oily acne-causing substance is the Head and Shoulders line. And I'm not gonna lie, that brand has some AWESOME scents!!!
• Touching your face is horrible for acne, sometimes when you lie down to sleep, you know how you rest your cheek on your hand or something? Don't do that anymore
• Acne products take a while to work, so be patient, don't get frustrated with a product and skip on to the next one, I would give it a month or so before chucking it.
• Makeup is a big no-no for acne. Blushes, concealers, and liquid or powder cover ups are absolutely horrible for skin. They will cause breakouts and make existing ones worse. I know it is tempting to cover up your breakouts to hide them but I ditched all kinds of face makeup for a week and it did miracles, I swear.
If all else fails, talk to your parents about asking your doctor for some acne pills and creams or ask about seeing a dermatologist who will give you stronger pills and creams and more tips to keep your skin clear.
