I had BAD acne.  Mostly stress and poor diet caused it.  I called and got the $20 "sample starter kit" off the infomercial because nothing else was really working.  My acne cleared up in less than a month!!!  The only time I get break-outs now is if I stop using the Proactiv.  That is sorta bad because you have to keep using it or you'll be back in the same boat.  By the way, I'm not a teenager - I'm 31 years old.  I didn't have acne as a teen.  If you don't want the "subscription" where they send it to you every month, you can buy it off of eBay, too.

my man uses clean and clear facewash (in a purple-ish and white bottle, available at walmart for a couple bucks) and it totally clears it up. Much cheaper than a dermatologist too!! Hope it helps! :)

If you are prone to acne, Proactiv is wonderful.  Otherwise just use Oxy pads or some other over-the-counter acne medicine to help dry it out.  Also, use a facial cleanser with gritty stuff in it every day.  Practiv has one as part of its program, and St Ives makes an apricot scrub.  They are great for cutting down on blackheads, which can later turn into pimples.

One of the best products is Proactiv. Yes, you've probably seen it on on TV, but believe it or not, it works. I still use to this day. And its a simple formula. \n\n1. You use the face wash to unclog your pores.\n2. You use the cleaner to remove the excess skin which clogs pores which in turn cause pimples.\n3. You use the special medicated lotion to heal and smooth out the skin, and to prevent pimples. \n\nPlus the great part, you can use it on your face, neck.. etc..

for face, neutrogena is best. For body, something like neutrogena body wash.

Yes, that's pretty normal.  it detoxes your skin.  proactive was the best thing i ever used.  but i hate to say it, the effectiveness wore off after less than a year while i continued using it.  my skin got used to it or something.  \n\nthe best thing i ever ever found is pantothenic acid (otherwise known as vitamin B5) that seems to attack acne from the inside out (as opposed to a surface thing you apply to your skin like proactive).  It even regulated my oily skin so that it feels soft and nice.  Once a month just before my period I get a couple small bumps on my skin but they are not red and big and aren't anything like the breakouts I used to get.  It is just a vitamin so it is not harmful like a prescription.  The brand I have always used is Country Life Pantothenic Acid, time release, 1000mg (there are 500mg and 250mgs too).  Time release allows it to release slowly in your body all day, seems like the best way to go.  I was taking 2 tablets with my meals 3 times a day.  my sister was taking 3 tablets 3 times a day.  it takes less than a month.  i only take 3 or 4 tablets a day total now.  been doing it for years, it is the best thing ever.

Proactive is no different than the products you can buy over the counter; what you are buying is a ROUTINE... they send you instructions and all.  If you want, but Proactive for 1 month and then switch to over-the-counter products and save yourself lots of money.\n\nYes it improves acne.  Side-effects include skin dryness while your skin adjusts.

I don't know what the top five are but the one i like the best is the newer Crest kind without achohol. It cleans great without the awful burning. I believe that's the one dentists are recommending right now.

READ ALL THIS BELOW (My lazy butt didn't write all this for nothing LOL)\nHey, I don't blame you for not wanting Proactiv Acne Solution. I am almost positive that their product will not work effectively b/c they seem fake-They even have to pay$$ celebrities to lie about their product! My friend used it before and said nothing happened but it only irritated his skin. Oh well, Not everyone's skin work the same *!*!*!* Anyway, I know the best and only solution to remove acnes. You need to use "PanOxyl Bar 10%." It works fast and makes sure that pimples do not ocme back. Trust me, I have used this before and I was very suprised and satisfied. What it does it suck and kill all the bacterias athat are in the pores and removes oily skin. Read the directions in the bar soap to understand fully. I love this product. I get one acne every 2 months or so and they hurt and I use this product and I am always satisfied. Here is the link to purchase this product: http://www.dermadoctor.com/product.asp?productID=83&WID={1934F3FD-72EC-48A4-8943-A16692544559} (There are of course other websites where you may get this cheaper but make sure you do get this if you want a clear face sweetie. I am living proof that this works lol. I have told the ones I love about this so they can use it when they even have one pimple that they want out quick! I also use "Rugby Benzoyl Peroxide lotion" just incase I am on the go and I have only 1 huge acne. I use that product. it is like the soap but in a lotion form. You apply a dab of lotion right on top of the acne. It works quickly. Buy these two products and they are not over the counter or need a prescription so you can purchase these anywhere and they are cheap. I would purchase this product on this website: http://shop.store.yahoo.com/physlabs/10037125.html *!*!*!*

I personally like Tide (with a touch of Downy)\n\nGain is also pretty good.\n\nThey both leave a fresh scent and get rid of stains. I bleach my whites seperately though :-)

I've seen many commercials on TV which advertise a treatment  called Proactive. She could also see a dermatologist.\nOh, now I remember one friend of mine who had acne and she used a home-made treatment: it was something with honey and soap (the one used for washing clothes), crushed into little pieces. Ok that may sound weird, and I'm not sure if it works, but I remember my friend using it. But what I know is that there are many home-made treatments, but I've never had acne, so I cant tell you exactly.

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.

One product alone won't clear up your acne. You have to buy several little things to see progress. For overall acne treatment, I'd look into something called Proactiv.
