wash your face daily, when you feel like your face is oily, wash it with "dove". It worked for me but then my skin got too dry and I had to go to the dermatologist.

Before washing your face (twice a day!), soak a washcloth in hot water and apply to your face for a few minutes to open the pores. Then wash with the rough side of the washcloth and whatever cleanser or soap you like. After washing, rinse well with tepid, then cool water to close the pores again. You'll get more dirt and oil out that way, and prevent so much buildup in the pores which is what causes pimples.

Sometimes topical creams can help or certain medications. See you doctor/dermatologist for advice.

hormones and stress cause acne.  Sometimes if you are not eating healthy that will cause some pimples.  Try lots of water (8 glasses a day) veggies and fruit, exercise and lay off the sweets!

Hi,\n\nI totally know where you're coming from.  I struggled with really, really bad acne about 2 years ago.  Intially I tried tetra-cyclin and retin-a.  However, my skin got freakishly dry and I started getting a weird rash on my face.  \n\nI quickly stopped taking them and tried Proactive.  That sure was a waste of money.  I finally started showering directly after the gym and found that this helped tremendously.  I also tried a free product I got on the net called Beautiful Skin.  Believe it or not, it worked way better than the prescription stuff!  I only paid $4.95 for shipping for a month supply.  I re-ordered and I use it to make sure I don't get back my zits.  It also has tea tree oil which feels really good on my skin.\n\nHere's the link if you want to get it, I think it's the best thing I've ever bought for the price $4.95\nhttp://www.alllsite.info/beautiful-skin.php\n\nGood Luck!

Go to your doctor, they're the only ones that can give you stuff that works.\n\nZineryt works REALLY well for me.\n\nIf that doesn't work, its the antibiotics, then on to roaccutane. If you're a girl, the pill, in particular dianette is good for acne, though it doesn't stop mine completely on its own.\n\nAs for over the counter stuff, its a load of crap if you have proper acne  (I'm not talking a coupla pimples every month here)

GO TO WALGREENS, GET SOME APRICOT FACIAL SCRUB. WOMEN WILL KNOW WHERE ITS LOCATED. USE IT ONCE IN THE MORNING, AFTER WORK OR SCHOOL, AND ONCE BEFORE GOING TO BED. DONT SCRUB HARD JUST LIGHTLY SCRUB YOUR FACE WITH IT.. THE SRUB IS OIL FREE AND REALLY CLEANS OUT DIRT AND OIL ON YOUR FACE. NEXT GET THIS LOTION CALLED "SIMPLY GLOWING" ALSO AT WALGREENS. ITS ALSO OIL FREE AND WONT CAUSE ZITS. THIS CUT MY ZITS DOWN 80%.   I LEARNED ALL THIS FROM MY WIFE. NOW THERE IS ONE MORE THING YOU CAN DO AND IT MAY SOUND STRANGE CUZ YOUR A GUY AND ALL BUT HEAR ME OUT. THERE IS ACNE MEDICATION THAT LOOKS LIKE A PEN BUT IT IS ALSO A COVERUP. WHAT YOU DO IS AT NIGHT BEFORE YOU GO TO BED TAKE THE PEN AND PUT THE COVERUP OVER YOUR ZIT OR ANY NEW FORMING ZIT. NOT ONLY DOES IT COVER THE ZIP UP LIKE YOUR NORMAL SKIN BUT IT ALSO HEALS THE ZIT OR WILL STOP A NEW ONE FROM COMMING OUT. IT BLENDS IN SO WELL WITH MY SKIN THAT I PUT IT ON DURING THE DAY WHEN NOBODY IS LOOKING OR FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.. NOW PEN IS EXPENSIVE. I STOLD IT FROM MY WIFE.  WALGREENS OR SOME BEAUTY DEPARTMENT SHOULD HAVE IT.AND IT WORKS GREAT. IT LOOKS JUST LIKE A SMALL THIN PEN. ASK FOR "BLEMISH CONCEALER" WHICH LOOKS LIKE A PEN. ALSO SOMETIMES STRESS CAN CAUSE ZITS SO IF YOU NEVER WORK OUT TRY WORKING OUT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.  THE PRODUCTS WILL WORK TO SOME DEGREE. THEY WORKED AWSOME FOR ME,AND IT MAKES SENSE BECAUSE WOMAN ALWAY HAVE BETTER SKIN THATN MEN. BECAUSE WE USUALLY USE PLAIN SOAP AND GENERIC LOTIONS. WHICH IS TERRIBLE FOR YOUR SKIN\nGOOD LUCK

Eating a healthy, balanced diet is the best way to nutritionally prevent acne.  This means whole grains (not white bread and french fries), lots of fruits and vegetables, lean proteins (choose fish and chicken over steaks and hamburgers) and lean dairy products (skim milk and unsweetened yogurt).  Science has not proven a link between greasy foods and acne, but if the oil from the food comes into contact with your face it can lead to breakouts.\n\nThere is no way to delay the onset of acne, but once it appears you should begin with topical (surface) remedies.  Wash your face morning and night.  Avoid wearing foundation, concealer, powder and blush (especially that contain oil).  Exfoliate weekly and use a deep-cleansing mask weekly.\n\nIf your acne is particularly bad or causes you extreme embarassment, ask your doctor for a referral to a dermatologist to discuss Accutane, a prescription drug in pill form that stops your oil glands from producing oil.  This drug is commonly prescribed to teens but has many side effects, so you need to discuss it with your parents and the dermatologist (as well as take regular blood and pregnancy tests while taking it).
