I'm also 13, and Proactiv helps me. U could also try Epiclear, or Clean and Clear scrub wipes. I use all of this, and it seems to work for me.

Neutrogena makes a body wash with salicylic acid that will help clear them up.  You might also want to use a loofah or another type of sponge to help exfoliate and help fresher skin emerge.  If money is not a problem, Proactiv is wonderful (I use their face products) and I know they make a wash and lotion just for acne on the body.  Good Luck.

Go to a dermatologist.\nIf you're looking for things you can try at home, Proactiv works for a lot of people.\nI've also heard very good things about Tea Tree products (the best face wash in the world is from the Body Shop) and also Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne wash.\nAlso... if you have cystic acne, it's not the same as regular acne. It can be caused by something other than bacteria... which is why you want to see a dermatologist, because they can help treat cystic acne.

I struggled with acne for years and I finally found the solution that works for me. We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!\n\nThose of us who suffer from acne have usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:\n\n1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.\n\n2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.\n\nI found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back. It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs or doctors. The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know.\n\nThere is a great website: http://cure-my-acne.info/3daycure/ that has all the details. I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.

no product gets rid of acne. but there are plenty of products that cause it: junk food, lotsa bread and cheese, refined sugars. remember: acne is a parasitic virus. remove its food supply (junk foods) and it will remove itself. cut the above foods from your diet, fast on water for three days every other month and eat lotsa of dandelion (no really!!). Do this for at least six months and as long as you don;t go back on the junk food diet, you should be acne free!!! yipeee!!! good luck!!

The dermatologists can help get rid of the acne. But the problem could reoccur since it comes due to hormones among other factors. Time is the best cure but you can prevent by some good sking creams (consult dermatologists).\n\nRead more about Acne here:\nhttp://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acne

cetaphil is what my dermatologist recommended at a time when i was suffering from overly dry and sensitive skin. \n\nnow that my skin is a lot better, i use neutrogena products. the oil- free acne wash is gentle, yet effective in treating my breakouts. :D

The most effective products I have used are a combination of salycylic acid medication (stridex wipes/pads) plus a benzoyl peroxide cream (Clearasil daily acne control cream). This has helped clear my acne symptoms. \nI had to see a dermatologist in the past, though, because sometimes acne can turn into an infection...w/ the redness and inflammation symptoms spreading to different areas of your face. He prescribed me a few things, one was an antibiotic to kill the infection that was causing the acne to spread. Just thought I'd add that in case you don't see an improvement from over-the-counter products. Good luck

Yes, as lookingdabest mentions, I've heard of ProActive as being helpful, too.  I, however, have had no first hand experience with it.  Other than doctor prescribed Tetracycling, which has been helpful for me, I've been looking very seriously into something called "Zeno".  I've attached the link.  This device supposedly treats acne one pimple at a time, but makes them almost disappear in 24 hours.  Too good to be true?  I'm researching this over and over.

proactive is good, but expensive. just find a nice cleanser that is oil free and uses 2% sacylic acid to treat acne. be sure to wash every day and use an acne treatment gel.  hope that helps

Here's an article on naturally preventing and treating acne: http://acne.fanaticshome.com/Articles/Home_Treatment_for_Acne_-_a_non-chemical_approach.php\n\nAnd on using products: http://acne.fanaticshome.com/Articles/Finding_Acne_Skin_Care_Products_That_Work_For_You.php\n\nIt kind of depends on how severe your acne is and what kind of approach you want to take with it.

Proactiv really worked for me. But you better use it constantly instead of stopping for a while or else your skin gets used to it and you will have to go for a stronger solution. To prevent more acne, wash your face with warm water each night and make sure you don't touch your face a lot with your hands <-- that's really bad, no matter if it's dirty or not. Just don't touch it.

1. You should use a chemical free skin cleanser every day. By cleaning your skin, you can help eliminate new blemishes from forming. Cleaning your skin every day is the best thing you can do to achieve healthy, acne free skin.\n\n2. Try to keep your hair and hands off of your face. Both your hair and hands contain dirt and oils that can clog your pores and let bacteria grow. While this is not a cure for acne, keeping your pores clear will be instrumental in clearing your acne.\n\n3. Drink lots of water, and eat a healthy diet. While there are no clear connections with acne to a person’s diet, your skin is the largest organ on your body and keeping your body healthy will naturally keep your skin healthy. \nDrinking lots of water will keep your skin hydrated while also flushing away toxins.\n\n4. Don’t pick at your acne! Picking at your acne causes an unnecessary transfer of oils that may cause deeper acne lesions that may lead to scarring. The best way is to get your acne under control using a natural acne treatment every morning and every night.\n\nThe above is the only natural way that completely cures acne.
