   okay here is what cleared my skin REALLY fast:

   you’ll need noxzema and a st. ives scrub if u have blackheads u will need biore pore strips to

   baking soda and water- mix those 2 together and put it on your face for 1 min only put a few drops of water

   also exercise everyday for 30 mins- 1 hour to sweat out toxins and take a shower and wash your face right after

   egg mask- yea i know sounds gross but it actually helps crack an egg open and mix it in a bowl apply on your face and leave on for 20 mins

   steaming- steam your face over a small pot of boiling water while holding a small towel on your forhead to catch the heat then u can use the biore strips for blackheads or srub with the stives or noxzema

   yogurt- just get some plain nonfat yogurt and put on your face leave on for 20 mins

   honey and oatmeal- mix just a little bit of each in a bowl and leave on for 10 mins btw use uncooked oatmeal

   u can also use oatmeal mixed with water and leave it on for 10 mins again use uncooked oatmeal

   wash or change or pillow case every 3-4 days you dont want to sleep on the dirt you just did the whole week

   wash your face twice a day with noxzema and if you have any room for the jar in your shower then sometimes you can take the jar with you in the shower put it on and leave it on for the rest of your time in the shower then rinse off

   only use 1 or 2 masks a week or you will mess up your skin

   only scrub 2-3 times a week so you dont mess up your face

   dont pop your pimples it will make them worse

   use the st.ives scrub in the shower and leave it on tfor the rest of the time in the shower and rinse off when your done (use the blemish and blackhead one only it works best)

   dont change the products you use on your face to much it will mess up your face so dont do that anymore just stick to the products i listed

   if u have the blackheads only use the biore strips 1 time a week

   keep your hair out of your face while sleeping or on a hot sweaty day

   drink alot of water to moisturize your face throughout the day

   well thats all i have to say anyways this is what cleared all those millions of zits on my face in like 1 week! all i have now is like probably 1 or 2 every now and then so i hope this works for u btw im 12 i know what its like i went through it for 3 years :( but now im happy that i tried this :).

   If money is not a problem for you, try the Clinique 3 Step System. They have a system specifically for acne. Go to a Clinique counter and have the lady examine your face. She will decide what’s best for you. Use that for a few months RELIGIOUSLY, day and night. I have never head anyone complain about it.

   If you want to, try Proactiv. I think it’s cheaper than Clinique. But I’ve heard that Clinique is better. It’s your choice.

   If Clinique or Proactive don’t work, go to a dermatologist. At 13 years old, that sounds a little young to have really bad acne (unless you’re just exaggerating).

   Other than that…you’re young. You’re supposed to get zits. You ARE going to get them whether you like it or not. You have to, in a way, let your hormones run their course.

   Remember, you cannot really know if a product "works" to clear your acne unless you have used it for 1-2 months. In the first couple of weeks of using a new skincare product, you will almost always breakout because your skin is getting used to it.

   Other skincare tips:
   - Drink lots of water (8 cups a day) and eat healthy. Junkfood will turn your skin to crap.

   - Don’t touch your skin (meaning NO picking at your zits with fingers. You may use a pimple extractor for whiteheads, however) — keep in mind that these extractor tools are not to be used on cystic acne or extreme acne —

   - Stick with your skincare regimen, day and night

   - Wash pillow cases often.

   - Disinfect your phone/cellphone everyday with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol

   - Sleep with your hair in a loose ponytail, NOT around your face.

   Hope I helped!

   Believe me i have been in the same position, i got fed up of using every possible face wash, spot lotion etc and none of them worked. I went to my doctors and told him my problem and he prescribed me with this solution called Zineryt which is to put on your spots, i’ve been using it for about a year now but now it’s not working so well now. So i’m waiting to go back and hopefully try something different.
   I don’t know whether you’re from the UK or America but I suggest you go to the doctors and tell them about your problem they will be able to see the acne for themselves so will be able to judge what is best to give you, good luck!

   You need to see a dermatologist; he has many ways to reduce the severity of acne.

   Listen to me, because I really know what I’m talking about.You do not need to go to a dermatologist for your acne unless it leaves deep scars on your face. Don’t try any more washes. You have tried enough and all washes are almost exactly the same. They only work on minor, small, occasional pimples. This is what a dermatologist told me. You can see a doctor and they will perscribe a cream for you. I went to the doctors for my skin and he perscribed me two creams and told me how to do a skin routine and then he sent me to a specialist who told me a completely different skin routine and he told me that I don’t need harsher products because I don’t scar. Doctors don’t know what they are talking about when it comes to acne, so listen to me. I never saw the dermatologist again but I kept using the persciption creams from my doctor, with the routine my dermatologist gave me and now I am acne free. If your skin is oily use soap and water, your perscription cream/creams and a light moisturiser. If you have dry skin, use a exfoliating face wash, your cream and a heavy moisturiser.

   hey kid, if you do all the written here you might achieve quit some improvements, so pls read:

   firstable Im afraid but you’ll have to change your diet, eliminate junk food, sodas, sweets, all processed food etc etc basically all that tasty goodies :P (although you may eat those moderately but occasionally though) try to eat as raw as possible (greens, veggies, fruits, soaked before cooked grains, nuts, lean meats, fish, eggs, fish oil or flax seed oil or hemp oil as supplements, also you might consider taking multivitamin supp or something and preferably food should be all raw or home cooked food, well google and learn at least a little of basics of nutrition, seriously this will help allot, if you will be healthy inside it will show outside most definitely) also cut sugar and everything that contains it, if you need some sweetener take natural ones like honey, agave nectar, maple syrup and such. also limit oil and fatty stuff intake.
   well in short most important for acne ppl is to avoid or limit those: sugar, oil/fats, processed, chemicals as well as try to not overeat too often.

   for topical treatments:
   no matter what DONT TOUCH OR PICK THEM AT ALL!! that’s first,
   next would be my personal but of aloot people too: try to get raw HONEY and apply it all over face for as long as you can (its drippy so it wont be too pleasant but hey if you want it to work better try to bear as much as you can), at least 15 minutes, 30 minutes the best, then gently wash off and pat dry your face with towel. do this every day, it will help acne heal allot faster.

   next quicky remedy would be TEA TREE OIL, this can dry skin as hell, so you must use it with caution since its very strong essential oil, its very antibacterial (even more than bensoil peroxide if I remember right) it helps to dry and shrink pimple allot, but probably the best would be to take stick with ear stick and dip it a bit in TTO and apply it only on top of pimples not all over, and avoid clear areas. but be sure to use moisturizer afterwards when healed from acne (may I recommenda bit of walnut oil for very well skin soothing as well as moisturizing and certain regenerative abilities)

   drink lots of pure water (but not all or like allot at once but like 6oz (~200ml) several times during the day, approximately 67.62 oz per day (2 liters)

   drink green tea when possible or even better rooibos tea and the more the better!

   aloe vera gel! get it and apply it, best straightly from plant, it will help to heal them up if irritated

   also haven’t tried myself yet but read allot of exciting info about this natural oil called tamanu oil, which is said to be miracle worker for acne skin and other skin disorder, so you might want to check it out as well

   but if you decide to go for new product I recommend to research it on net before at least

   after all go to ACNE.ORG for more info, there are reviews of various products from acne sufferers and forums with hell allot of topics on acne and various info, there is allot of use full stuff, definitely check it out!

   if you will combat them right way and be healthy overall you’ll be cured soon, just please hang in there, look for ways, and good luck I hope it will be all good for you very soon! :)
