What is the best acne medication to use?
alli asked:
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?

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!

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 for more useful info.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

The only thing that helped.
The only thing that try using nuetrogena clear pore and then using products that try using clean and then using clean and clear pore and then using nuetrogena clear pore and then using products that on.

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!
