Acne question, please help?
I have every kind of acne, whiteheads blackheads pimples, the works. I have tried proactive, biore, a meleluca brand, clean and clear worked best for me, but it didn't completely clear me up. What facewash, product worked best for your acne? P.S. I am going to see a doctor today about my acne to see what she can do, but we don't have a dermatologist where I live.

You don’t necessarily need a dermatologist, it’s just preferred if one is available. If not, any doctor can prescribe you the same medicines as a dermatologist. They will generally start you off with a pill and cream (typically tetracycline pill and retin-a cream). If it doesn’t go away they will give you more powerful treatments. In the end, you can get a medicine called isotretonin (acutane) and that has a 100% success rate of clearing up acne, just with a pill and no creams. You’ll need insurance though.

the doctor will give you a prescription for some acne meds- creams and such – i had them and they work really well- i was in the same situation as you too- good luck!

Natural products are often more helpful then the dozens on the shelves. Try my regimen. which is a face mask of yogurt (make sure it’s cold), wash it off after 15-20 minutes and then apply raw honey (preferably Manuka, which is from New Zealand) for no less then 20 minutes, but longer the better.
I’m currently on Accutane which is supposed to be the miracle drug for acne, I’m about 3 months in with little results but it is supposed to get better around the 4th month.

overall clean n clear worked best 4 me 2. n i had REAL acne probs when i was younger. its goin away now tho jus cuz i think im gettin older. im 20 yrs old. but i went 2 c a dermatologist n they gave me sumthin called clyndamycin. it WILL dry up ur skin since its so harsh but since its so harsh it WILL make ur pimples go away. most the time ur skin has 2 dry 4 the pimples 2 go away. cuz it dries up the pimples. but it works well. but still use clean n clear 2. clyndamycin u jus use after u wash ur face.
