There is a medication called Acutane. I took it for a couple months and never got another pimple on my face for a couple years. It has some serious side effects I think...as with most medications. It really dried your face out, even your lips would crack and split unless you constantly have a lip ointment of some type. This drug was expensive, it was effective and I personally found no side effects besides the drying of my lips, that was the most uncomfortable side effect.

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.

For an acne medication, Proactiv is the best out there. For just a few blackheads, you can go to a local spa or beauty clinic and have a facial that normally costs under $50 CAN, usually around $25. they can extract the blackheads for you!\n\nBut picking at them and constantly using over the counter medications will only irritate your skin. just wash your face with a mild cleanser, first with hot water to open the pores, then rinse with cold to close them. steaming your face may also help open the pores, but make sure after you're done, you rinse your face with cold water to protect your skin.

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

I’ve heard that three cloves of garlic a day can help prevent acne.  If you take them and put them in a blender with some V8 then it tastes just like a spicy V8.  Tea tree oil is good for acne, but it can dry the skin. It may be better to dilute it. I have also tried one or two egg whites whipped with a tsp of honey and one or two tsps of lemon juice.  Let this sit on your face for 10-15 min and do this about 3 times a week, if your face gets to dry then you can include the yolk. \n\nBest of luck..\n\nIf you look online you can find lots of stuff on home remedies.  There are also lots of books on the subject, try checking some out at the library.  :)\n\nhttp://www.womanht.com/beauty/beauty.htm

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!

I used a mixture of strawberries and apple cider vinager when I was a teenager to combat acne.  Worked for me, but strawberries can be kind of expensive.\n\nIf you want to get better ideas, just walk down the skin care isle of your nearest grocery store.  Those products have every fruit known to man in them - lemons, papyas, mangos, avacados, apricots, apples, grapes (oh, grapeseed oil is good), etc. . .\n\nGood luck.

The most effective thing which is also the most cheapest thing you could ever do is water. Drink lots of water. It nourishes the skin, things that commercial product can't live up to.\n\nMake your own masks with avocado, dried oats and yogurt. Its fun, smells good and great for the skin. \n\nAlso, try to not pick on your skin. It only scars (which stays longer) and spreads. \n\nYou can try some commercial products. The most expensive ones don't necessary mean the most effective ones. It depends on your skin type. Preferably try cleaners for normal skin and if you feel your skin is too tight or dry afterwards then get a facial lotion for your skin type.

drink LOTS of water - I'm also trying vinegar right now - I've heard that if you drink a tablespoon or two of vinegar everyday it helps, not sure if it's myth or truth but worth a try.  I also switched all of my makeup to Mary Kay and started using their skincare program and that made a HUGE difference.... good luck, acne is SO annoying....

Well i am a teen and i have prob. w/ acne as well... During the day you may notice like you forhead is feeling a little sweaty, any time you get (even if you just rinse) a chance, in the bathroom anywhere near a sink really. just rinse your face off and dry w/ a towel. repeat until your skin feels ...not sweaty any more. What that sweat is its an irritant to your acne, causing it to multiply i guess you could say.  Yes ProActive And AcneFree are good progucts to use and can get slightly pricy.\n\nA really cheap product you can use find it in wal-mart etc.. Its Called "Sea Breeze", !st, rinse your face with water, then use the Sea Breeze to completely clean your face. I recomend if you want to see how much dirt, sweat, gross stuff thats oin your face...etc...use tissue after you apply the SeaBreeze to face, to dry off your face, look at all whats on the tissue..gross.
