Does anyone have an acne cure for really sensitive skin (red bumps on face)?



Basically I have sensitive skin on my face that is reddish with bump-like things. Below is a list of the things I've tried over the years and a rating of how effective these products were.

Here is what I've tried:

birth control
effectiveness: excellent, but i'm not a fan of internal meds so i stopped

erythromycin in the morning &
egg mask at night
effectiveness: ok -- i used this for a few years

castor oil & jojoba oil (very little of the castor oil)
effectiveness: pretty good for a month and then blah


proactive
effectiveness: rash / bad reaction

green tea bags
effectiveness: rash / bad reaction

benzoyl peroxide
effectiveness: rash / bad reaction

salicylic acid
effectiveness: not good at all / bad reaction

I recently switched from Cetaphil gentle cleansing soap to this new product called Cerave hydrating cleanser and I'm now using NO acne treatment besides using soap to wash my face at night.

I just want to have a clear complexion. Can anyone with similar skin help??
I never touch my face.

  1. Apple Cider Vinegar has the most votes on Earth Clinic

    I can attest that it actually works, not instantly, but if you take it everyday, in a week to 2 weeks you will start clearing up, as long as you do other things at the same time such as eating healthy. If you take ACV, but still eat unhealthy, then that kind of cancels it out so you have to watch how you eat, and dont touch your face ever because theres always germs on your fingers.

  2. of course not—if someone did no one would have it
