I am 65 yrs, daughter is 40 yrs. and we never had acne, The doctor told my mom not to let my sisters and I use soap on our faces. Just steam it with a warm (as you can take )wash cloth and rinse with cold water and blot dry or let air dry.
Clearasil Ultra. I used their facial wash, one that gets rid of acne in 3 days. if you use it everyday like twice, and make sure you also wash your face with moisturizing soap, dont use too much make up, and change your pillow frequently, drink lots of water and eat healthy, you will be good!
*but clearasil ultra works well if you dont want to do all that
See a dermatologist or your family doctor. Because you are a teen, you should get advice from a licensed professional who knows what they are talking about
STAY AWAY FROM FOR OVER THE COUNTER WALMART STUFF AND DON’T USE SOAP AND WATER IT WILL RUIN YOUR SKIN.
Also i have used Proactive and it is to harsh for normal skin. it will dry your skin right out
Mary Kay Velocity- its price is right in between, and its an amazing quality, my little sister uses it and her skin is amazing i also use the Acne Treatment Gel when i get a pimple and it zaps it away.

Acne Treatment Gel
For blemishes, smooth on Acne Treatment Gel. It’s clinically proven to dry and clear acne blemishes, allowing skin to heal.
My daughter had this problem and we ended up at the doctors office since nothing was working. He prescribed a low dose antibiotic and a cream for her. They seem to be working great. Although not perfect, her face and back have really cleared up.
Not sure…I’m 23 years old Never had acne I’ve had maybe 3 zits my whole life. My mom said never touch your face! NOt being cocky but I have perfect skin. Try not touching your face after you figure out how to clear it up!
Proactiv works. I’ve had acne for 10 years and finally tried it and it amazes me. I’ve been to dermatologists but what they gave me never touched it like proactiv.
it all depends on the person & their skin. I’ve had acne for 7 years, though nowadays my skin is very healthy & I rarely break out anymore. I tried proactive my first couple years of having acne & it dried my skin out. Then my parents got me a dermatologist. I was on some type of pill for a while but it dried out my skin & gave me a pink tone< plus my parents didn’t want me taking medication for it.
My dermatologist put me on several different medications (different acne creams & washes) until we found what works for me. I am now using a mild cream called Topical Gel & a face wash called Oscion cleanser. I wash my face every morning & night. I use my face wash everynight, then apply topical gel, & then I use "oil free" nuetrogena moisturizer. In the morning I wash my face with cetaphil, apply topical gel, & then another neutrogena moisturizer with spf15.
Every teenager with acne should be using some type of moisturizer since your skin is creating excess oil in attempt to moisturize itself, causing acne. Acne creams & washe help but one should always use moisturizer! always!!!
There are four steps, cleanse, exfoliate, tone, and moisturize. if your skin is already a bit oily then do not moisturize as often. You MUST cleanse everyday though. Try cleansing twice a day and if your skin gets dry then just do it once a day.What works really well is OXY for cleanser, exfoliate with St. Ives Apricot scrub, for toner use Witch Hazel, and for moisturizer use Aveeno. If Aveeno may contain too much moisture, then try Curel.
I struggled with acne for about four years in my teens. Well, I’m 19 now and have clear, beautiful skin. I tried prettttty much everything and FINALLY was prescribed to Accutane.
Have to agree with one of the others – there is nothing like a great prescription cream from a dermatologist. I wish I had gone to a derm when I was a teenager so I wasn’t so miserable my whole life. I was on this all-natural kick for so long- then broke down and went and it’s the best decision I ever made. Currently I use Differin lotion. But I also have rosacea so I use Finacea gel. People always tell me my skin looks like a porcelain doll. No kidding. The stuff I’m using now ROCKS!
I Know Which Acne Treatment Works...
For me, Clearisil and the Nuetrogena body wash. Proactiv sucks
cetiphil is the best
usually they have Noxema in K-Mart or something it really works as long as u use it 2 times a day.Or u can order Proactiv on tv

Only do that if nothing else works, though.
