Are there any acne treatments for ethnic skin that works?
I've had acne since the 3rd grade. I been to dermatologist and have see pharmacist and been prescribed every tetracycline (doxy,mono), clidamycin, vanoxide, retin a, differin, and tazorac. I am currently using vanoxide in the morning and tazorc in the evening. i take 2 pills of doxyxline a day. Most of the antibotics and creams I have used have messed my face. I have large pore, scarring and very oily skin. If there's not a good ethnic skin treatment, can anyone me refer me to any other acne treatment other than accutane. the various antibotics have made my skin peel alot especially in my hair and the cortisone in the vanoxide give me big painful cyst. i have use proactiv, zenmed, murad, acnefree, etc. I'ver heard about heritage skin care but i didn't see any reviews about the product other than the ones on the size and i never trust those. i'm willing to try any prescrip my physican at school can prescribe and i can try any new treatment that are at now. any reccommendations please

i’ve taken to those pills for acne aswell, after 6 months they really started to help, but it mdke my skin so dry i wanted to die and i thinking now it isn’t worth it (it destroyed my face don’t do it!), so i recomend pro-active, it may sound corny but it does work, after long use(but it has it’s limmits). nothing is really straight forward affective, and i still get alot of it. But what i found to work the best for me at this point and time is soap and hard scrubbling – i feel your pain, and so i would stick with the basics, hop eit helps somewhat :/
