  1. I had the same problem. I finally went to my dermatologist and the doctor set me up with 3 skin care products that I use everyday. #1. Tea Tree Wash. #2. A skin toner that I use after washing. #3. An awesome product called, "Glytone" that I put on as the final step. There are many kinds of Tea Tree washes and toners – the dermatologist will set you up with the ones that are best for you. And the Glytone – it’s amazing!
    Good luck to you!

  2. Age may be a facter. What type of soap do you use? Do you have oily skin? I’ve had the same issue as a teen and a young adult. Going to a dermalogist can help. I was told to use Hibacleans, you can get over the counter at walmart, CVS. Aqua- blue bottle, Usually used at hospitals to kill bacteria. However DO NOT get in your eyes, as it will make you blind. Going to a tanning bed will also help dry out the skin, but if you over do it then you end up with dry skin. Good luck!

  3. Don’t scrub your skin. You are damaging it more. Treat your skin gently. Go ask your doctor about Accutane.

  4. I have the same problem. I use proactiv body wash, pads, and lotion. They work like a charm so long as you use them correctly. I’ve been using it for two weeks and I’m almost clear. Hope you clear up?
