   Ok, if you don’t want to go to a dermatologist and ask this is what has worked for me:

   Have these products on hand:
   An acne wash with salicylic acid (foam, gel, or creamy depending on skin type) in it.
   An acne wash with benzoyl peroxide in it.
   An acne lotion with salicylic acid in it (I recommend clean and clear blackhead clearing lotion).
   An acne cream with benzoyl peroxide in it.
   A gentle face scrub.
   A spot treatment (such as the one from elf.com it’s onl $1!!).
   A clay mask.
   A good lotion or cream (I suggest the store brand of Cetaphil. It’s way cheaper and basically the exact same.)

   Wow. Sounds like a lot of products, but it will last you a long time, and once you start using the system regularly it will work.

   One day, wash with the salicylic acid product. Then use the benzoyl peroxide cream to treat acne. Let it sink in, then moisturize your skin well with the lotion or cream (it MUST be non-comedogenic!!!).

   The next day wash with the benzoyl peroxide product and treat with the salicylic acid product. Then moisturize. see where I’m going? Keep switching every day. (wash twice a day, by the way.)

   2-3 times a week use the facial scrub gently for about a minute or two (follow directions). Once a week use the facial mask. On bigger pimples use the spot treatment over night to help reduce the size.

   Also, drink plenty of water (helps flush out toxins from body), do some exercise (like cardio. Then wash skin after!) and de-stress for 15 minutes every day. You may also want to use an acne treating body wash.

   Good luck! :)
