Clean & Clear persagel vs. Neutrogena on-to-spot acne treatment?

Hello,
I want to get rid of my acne so bad! Both Clean & clear and Neutrogena acne treatment have benzoyl peroxide. I read a lot of good reviews about them and its hard to pick one. Do you know what kind I should use..and idk what the hell acneace is and I don't want to use it..Btw I'm using clinique products right now the 3 step system but not the acne solution one (which I've tried and don't like)..they go great and do get rid of my acne but doesn't prevent future breakouts blah blah I just wanted something extra so my acne can get the hell away! Please tell me which one to get, I did try the clean and clear one when I was younger...I'm 13 and my acne really isn't that severe please help! No rude comments please. Thank you ;)

I want to get rid of my acne, what should I do differently?

I am 14 years old and have moderate acne. I play a lot of sports. I want to get rid of it, but I don't know how. I use several products like: Astringent, Face wash, Spot on Acne Treatment, and a face mask. I wash my face 3-5 times a day and shower 1-2 a day. What should I do differently and how can I get rid of my acne and blackheads?

Accutane or Birth Control for acne?

These two things are my last hope. I've tried every other pill, cream, face wash, laser, facial peels, etc. etc. Please DO NOT suggest any other acne treatment/medication thanks. So for those of you have have tried one or both, which did you find to be more effective? Which had the least severe risks? Any other info is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Best way to get rid of acne scars and flaky skin?

I was never really the type of person to have ance. I come from a big family with clear skin. But for some reason I started breaking out very terribly( it might have been from the change of makeup I did back in september ) Well , My ance has gone away , but now I face a new challenge. Ance Scars. I restrict myself from using any foundation cover up makeup because my boyfriend hates when I wear it. Plus - I got it all over his white sweatshirt when I hugged him lol. My skin is in horrible condition tho. After all the harsh acne treatment , I have horrible dry skin. It's all flaky and dry and I put on an Olay Oil Free Face moisterizer but honestly , If i did not have that , I would be doomed. Basically to sum this up , What are some good home remedies to get rid of acne scars and deminish them ? and how can I get my skin to be nice and flaky free ? Please help because I feel so left out without clear skin cause my family alway points it out :( HELP !

how do i get rid of these horrible blackheads?

have a bunch of horrible blackheads on my face back and chest. i don't really get pimples and when i do they're small. but these blackheads are really bad. i'm 12 but thank god no one really notices them. there are tons on my forehead, nose, chest, and back. i don't know what to do. i've tried so many things:
clearasil acne treatment cream with 10% benzoyl peroxide
clearasil acne pads with sacyclic acid
noxzema
aveeno clear compexion face wash
aceeno skin brightening scrub
st. ives apricot scrub
biore pore strips
neutrogena pink grapefruit scrub
even home remedies like:
yogurt for 20 mintues
massaging olive oil into my face
lemon juice
onions
patting tomatoes on my face
even mixing salt and water together and patting that on my face
and using toothpaste

None of these really worked! now i'm just using dial soap and some of my brother's perscribed benzaclin gel. its seems to work but i'm waiting to go to the dermatologist myself. my mom always forgets to make the appoinment though so i don't see it happening soon :/ i've had this since i turned 9 and almost nothing has worked! don't give me any home remedies or expensive products like Murad or proactiv or those home remedies like toothpaste please. just products you're sure that are absolutely garunteed to work but aren't expensive. i'll use something within the range of 10-15 dollars or less nothing higher cause i don't get much of an allowance anyways.
no links plz because they are slow when i try to open them on my computer.
i do pop them but they always seemed to get worse while i did that so now i just leave them alone...

How can i get rid of the rash on my nose?

Every summer I get a red rash on my nose that looks like acne but it's not, it's just many tiny/medium sized red bumps especially on the tip of my nose. I don't know how to get rid of it and it just breaks out randomly and won't go away. This year, it seems to have started after I was outside in the sun one day and got worse everyday after that. My acne medicine doesn't help it and my Aveeno moisturizer seems to have made it worse over night. I also use a Neutrogena Adult Acne Treatment set every other night to help my breaking out and get rid of my old acne scars and was wondering if that could possibly help or make it worse. Any ideas how I could clear this up because it seems like it may be spreading to my cheeks a little as well. I'm pretty sure it's not rosacea but I'm not sure. I've been to a dermatologist (for my acne) and she never identified me as having any signs of rosacea. Any ideas are much appreciated!

Help!!! what choice would u make…?

Ok well i have alright skin but breakouts on the sides and jawline but it has been clearing up with treatment from the doctors fro about 6 months. I am 13 (14 in february) and i have been asked by the doctor if i want to try isotretinion which is a harsh acne treatment with side effects -

minor hair loss
reaelly dry skin
blood noses
dry eyes
possibly depression
and a whole heap more!! im really concerned and worried as now is a stressful time for me

So i can continue using my old treatment which can apparently still improve or risk using the next treatment which lasts 3-6 months which are described as horrible by many people but apparently effective. I dont know wheather to risk the extra stress as it might be too much for me right now or continue with my old treatment and try the new one some other time. What would you do?
