Tried everything!

Ever since the dreaded puberty struck, I've had acne. It's not really really bad, but definitely bad enough. I've tried everything I can think of: ProActive; Nature's Cure; soaps, creams, bars; home remedies; even went to a dermatologist and got two different prescriptions. All of them worked for a little while, then the acne came back. Right now I'm using Melaleuca's "Zap It!" line, and that's working out alright... I still get breakouts but not nearly as bad as before, and I can usually track them by my cycle. But I'm getting really sick of running out of concealer every month, not to mention the permanent red blotches on my face (no actual scars, thank God, but they've still left a mark).

Anyway, does anyone know any kind of sure-fire way to get rid of acne, other than waiting it out? It's been 12 years, I don't think waiting is gonna help much, and I don't want the damage to get worse before it gets better.

Maybe going the gentle route may help you.  Nothing drastic but try using gentle products.  The reason why I suggest this is because I noticed that when I use products created for acne prone skin, it made my skin worse.  Now I just take it easy and use gentle cleanse, toners, and moisturizers.  I save the acne treatment for one product.  Either some low strength acne treatment.  Doesn't hurt to try the organic route.

Proactive is the best product I have tried. Once you get over the irritation from the benzoil peroxide. Might take a week. i also use products by opaltech77 which bleaches dark marks left by the acne and exfoliates the skin gently. I used to have really bad skin and now it's near flawless except for a few tiny scars. Their link is in my signature.  I wish I had known about them in high school.

damn

yeah i use aloevera, jojoba oil,and distilled water mixture in a spray bottle on my hair you can also use it o n your skin its great to shave with as well.

 Ya gotta go back to the dermatologist! I have been many times and I'm 29!
