Go high carb, low fat, whole foods, plant-based VEGAN! It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. I went vegan this year and have lost 40 pounds, with minimal exercise, and eating AS MUCH as I desire bringing down my BMI from 30 to 24. I weigh less now than I did throughout high school, as an overweight teenager, even when I exercised for hours while on Junior Varsity and Varsity sports teams. I went to my annual physical earlier this month, and even my doctor was in shock.
My goal for next year is to lose 30-40 more pounds, I just need to start exercising on a regular basis. Nothing crazy, just 30-60 minutes of jogging, Ballet Beautiful, bike riding.. things like that.
I think it's amazing what I've accomplished so far, just by changing my diet, though. It's a lot easier to go vegan than it seems. I was never vegetarian, I went from being able to eat an entire box of pizza or entire tub of ice cream in one sitting to a full-fledged vegan. I now spend a lot less money on groceries, have more energy (never need caffeine, and never feel lethargic like I used to on a regular basis), have more concentration, am learning to cook, and etc. Try it for a week, that's how I started, and I felt so good that I just kept going, and it's now been 5 months! You can get every nutrient from plant foods, including protein!

The only vitamin you need to supplement is B12, and one I personally recommend is Garden of Life's B12 spray (cause I personally hate swallowing pills, and methylcobalamin is better than cyanocobalamin). You can buy it at any health foods store (Whole Foods, Sprouts, Trader Joe's, etc.), or online.

You can always get cleansers with green tea in them! they are natural, and healthy for your skin! they nourish the skin without letting the skin get too oily, but it also gets rid of tough acne!

Pro active is supposed to be a wonderful product and it's about 20 bucks.
Also, Another thing that helps is to wash your face daily with warm water, If you don't take fish oil pills I highly recommend looking into it or anything with omega 3.
There are cheap products at Walmart and one I recommend checking out is Aveeno. They make a fash wash product and it worked great for me during my teenage years. Avoid greasy foods and makeup

start taking vitamins, i suffered with acne all the way through my teenage years, and there was nothing i could find that i could put on my skin to stop it.
i started taking omega 3 fish oil vitamins and also zinc vitamins and it helped significantly. i understand vitamins can be expensive, but it is important to solve this problem early on in life so you don't get permanant scarring.
use a gentle cleanser like spectro or cetaphil, and if an acne treatment has alchohol in it, i would recommend that you don't use it.
be patient as well, because treating acne can somtimes take a while

Noxzema always works for me. And it's super cheap. :) Keeping your skin clean is the key. Try washing your face every morning and nighttime.

I've used clean and clear, and that worked okay. The best one I've ever had is St Ives Peach Face Scrub. It's about $10 from the chemist/pharmacy or supermarket. When you use acne cleansers, you should only use them every 2nd or 3rd day. If you use them every day, you'll get rid of all the oil on your skin and your face will dry up. This means that MORE pimples will come out! You only have a little bit of acne, so every 3 days or so wash your face with a cleanser.
If you want to, ask your mum if you two could make some home-made facial mask cream. I bought mine from the chemist for $10, it's a clear cucumber smelling liquid. I put it on and it dries up over my face, then I peel it off. I do this once every two weeks and my skin feel soooo smooth after!. And it's a fun thing to do with your mum :)

I'm 18 and I have/had masive acne on my forehead! I started using benzaclin. It is amazing and it worked for me! I haven't had a zit in 3 or 4 years :D the thing is your doctor has to give you a prescription :/ also it's $60, expensive but you young ones have ways of bribing them older people :)
Good luck
