What is the best acne medication to use?

I've had bad acne all over my cheeks and chin since 8th grade (I'm 16 now). I've tried a lot of stuff, Clearasil (not sure how to spell that), Proactiv, Benzol Peroxide and lots of other face washes but nothing seems to work. I even went to the doctor and got birth control pills because they r supposed to help your skin but those didn't work either. It's really embarrassing and horrible and if anybody has any suggestions, please help. Can anyone suggest good acne creams, washes, etc?What is the best acne medication to use?
Hi,


Here is a website where you tell them what your skin is like and they tell you what product is right for you. Here is the link:http://www.cleanandclear.com/findRoutine鈥?/a>





Clean and Clear has some great products.





I also recommend Neutrogena. It is dermotologist recommended. Here is the website:http://www.neutrogena.com/





The wave works fantastic. It is the new thing by Neutrogenua.

Proactiv庐 Solution - The Answer for Acne Skin Care my husband had acne very bad and when he start using this it did wonders so give it a try. would not kid you it really do works http://www.proactiv.com/index.php?acnt=Y鈥?/a>
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR. TRY IT FOR A MONTH. IT SMELLS BAD, BUT THE RESULTS ARE AMAZING! YOUR SKIN WILL GLOW TO!!
If you promise not to get pregnant, there is ONE treatment that works like a charm but WILL cause birth defects in a fetus. It's acutane. Use it, and you will see results. Good luck getting a doc to prescribe it to you though, they are scared shitless that you will get your young butt knocked up and hold them liable when your baby comes out screwed up beyond all help.
Sephora has these supplements called clear skin made by Dr. Perricone. Now they are expensive but I promise you they work. It's amazing!! I use to sell them like hotcakes. Alot of the time acne comes from the inside and alot of people just treat the outside. You could also try his acne kit. Good luck girlfriend. You really ought to give it a try.
OMG been there done that. Try using products that have sacylic acid, I would suggest first using clean and clear deep cleaning astringent and then using nuetrogena clear pore and you use that on your face at night or when you are just hanging out at home. I had tried benzol peroxide,retin-a, tetracycaline etc and this was the only thing that helped.
I've been using Clinique Acne Solutions (Foaming Face Wash and On the Spot gel stuff) and it's been working well.
if you tried all that stuff and nothing worked then go to the dermatologist. theyll prescribe you pills thatll clear you up from the inside out. when i went they gave me the pills and some strong benzoyl peroxide cream which dried my face terribly and made my skin look shiny. i ditched the cream and just used the pills washed my face with regular soap and my acne improved. takes time though. good luck.
go to a dermatologist. wellllll worth it.
i use neutrogena on the spot.
Your so right, Clearasil doesn't work at all! My mom says to grab some oats and put them in a bowl, then mash them. when thats done, add a bit of warm water and apply it to ur face, leave it for a couple of minutes (about 4min) Then rinse off with warm water. That's supposed to dry your pimples and take the oil out, but leave your skin soft. Hope it works 4 u like it works 4 me!
Tea Tree Oil is good,you can read about it's uses on the Internet.It can be found at Wal- Mart with the vitamins.
Im 15 and when I was 14 I wne to my doctor and I told him my problem. He gave me some advice and gave me some acne cream he presicribed for me.


I wash my face twice a day with NEUTRAGINAS acne cleanser (there line is great!) and I put a mask (any mask is fine) on once a week and I put that cream he presribed me TWICE a day EVERDAY and I have pretty much CLEAR skin now, go to your DOC. he knows his S.H.I.T!!
well im just like you


except i get it on my cheeks,


chin, forehead, and a few other


places. ive tried almost everything


and nothing has worked.


if i were you i'd go to a dermatologist.


it'd be the best thing to do because


they can give you something to use


and it will most likely work.


im going to one in a few weeks and i cant


wait, i know once my acnes gone ill have


SO much more confidence.
have you tried Neutogena rapid clear? Works pretty well..


Oh, and if you have really big pimples, dab some tea tree oil.. it smells really bad but it really dries them up the next day!
I recommend washing your face twice a day (morning and night), using a non-oil lotion/low strength sunscreen during the day, non-oil nightly lotion, and hydrogen peroxide 3% solution. Lotions may seem counterintuitive, but they do help. Hydrogen peroxide, in my experience, works better than benzol peroxide. It dried out my skin less, and I could even feel the bubbles working into my skin - only use it once or twice a week.





Simply keep your face clean, don't touch your face during the day, don't pop pimples (it can be hard to break this habit), and keep your skin well-hydrated (by drinking water and using oil-free lotions).





If an extra kick is needed, ask a dermatoligist about starting a regimine of a medicine called sulfameth trimethoprim (Bactrim) - I've taken one pill daily for 4+ years.
This mask should help, mix 1 tablespoon of dried or fresh yeast with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice; apply on face, wait until it gets hard (try not to move), peel or wash with warm water.Check out http://useinfo-acne.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.
