Should i just use a daily cleanser instead of acne creams?

I am 19 now with moderately severe acne since 16.

I have tried Proactive, Acnefree, Retin-A and various benzoyl peroxide treatments. They slightly work and my acne will return despite regular application. I am so frustrated.

I think that I've concluded that these treatments clog up my pores. And now I should resist using any treatments and stick with a simple daily cleanser in the day and morning.

Will this work? Any feedback?

what is best acne treatment?

I have been using AcneFree for a couple months and its been working good but I still have mild acne. I was thinking about trying skinID or the new proactiv but i wanted opinions from some people who have actually used either to see if it worked for them or not. Thanks

I just bought the Neutrogena Complete acne therapy system.
And i have blackheads and a few pimples here and there.

Can working out and weightlifting cause acne?

I never had acne before until I started weightlifting 6 months ago. Every time I worked out, my face felt extremely hot even thou I had appropriate rest and took plenty of water. Pimples came up 1 or 2 days after that and breakout all over my face.

I read some articles about it. They say that because weightlifting can raise the testosterone level, your hormones...that is needed to build muscle so it can developed acne. Not really because of sweating or anything else.

So I stopped working out after that. But acne is still all over my faces, and getting worse over the next 2 months. It took me 3 months, after trying many acne treatments like Acnefree and Proactiv, for my face to cleared up a little bit.

I'm happy at the result and I believe that Proactiv will control my breakouts. I decided to work out again. Then, acne comes back again. Not really that bad like before, but new breakout happens everytime after I worked out.

I really enjoyed weighlifting. What should I do now?

Will my skin get damaged from acnefree?

I started using proactiv in october, and than because it was more affordable, i started using acnefree in january. I have been using both since. I have heard though that products with benzoyl peroxide can cause skin damage, premature aging, and higher risk for skin cancer. Than people told me to switch to just salicylic acid products, but they don't really do much for me. I am using acne free once a day, and only very little of the lotion and cleanser, (which has benzoyl peroxide) and a decent amount of the toner. I have broken out a bit, but not anything to crazy. Anyways, I plan to keep using it for the mild breakouts/acne i have, in my family acne usually minimalizes by like 18 or so, I know thats what happened for my sister. I just starting using this, Im 17, and yeah. I dont have severe acne, but mild and i like to have clear skin. Will my skin be damaged if I use acnefree?

Something’s wrong with me?

ok, I think there is something strange going on with me.

all of a sudden, I've been sort of in a bad mood, and I've been super sensitive, as in, my feelings have been hurt easily (i've been crying a lot lately).

and the weird part is, i just got off my period last week.

Also, I've been kinda tired lately. I've been going to bed earlier on some nights, and the other day after school I had about a 10 minute nap, and I've also been negative about myself some days this week, which isn't like me.

Also, ANOTHER weird thing, my best friend has been going through the same thing. i asked my mom about this, and she doesn't know.

are these signs of a disease I may be getting or something?

Today I even got a little dizzy.

I have also had constant mood swings. But most of my moods have been bad.

Also, does anyone know any good acne treatments that works for all skin types? i've used Proactive, AcneFree, Cetaphil, and Clean & Clear, and they all worked at first, then caused more breakouts, redness, and/or itching. Thank you!
yeah, as a matter of fact, I am a teenager, i'm almost 14.

What is the best for acne treatment?

I have been using proactiv for a couple of years now, and it has stopped working for me. In the beginning, it cleared up my acne pretty well, but now it does very little.
I heard about the cheaper AcneFree product that they sell at costco, and was wondering if that would work better for me.
I really want to get rid of my acne, but not sure what product to use next.
Please help!
