How long should I leave clearasil face wash on my face?

I have that clearasil face wash and I'm wondering how long should I leave it on my face before I take it off? I have pretty bad acne. The container doesnt say how long. Would over night be better?

I have really bad acne. Is there a product I can use?

I have really bad acne and I have this new skin-care routine using a gental face wash, an acne scrub, and 10% benzol preoxcide gel spot treatment. It really helps, but it never really goes away. Is there anything that I could use to make it go away completly? And also, if anybody makes fun of me for my acne, is there anything I could say?

i have acne problems, and it is depressing me please help me!?

hi, im 16 years old, going through a lot of stress because i have big exams coming up. i exercise regularly and i wash my face 3 times a day and moisturize. I STILL HAVE BAD ACNE! when i say bad, i mean bad. i do realise makeup doesnt help the situation, but i cant leave the house without putting any on.
i have tried everything, antibiotics, vitamin suppliments, a topical treatment called Zynorit or something like that and nothing has worked. my skin used to be perfect until last year and i dont know why i have such bad acne now.
can anyone please tell me the most effective way and FASTEST way to get rid of this acne? ive heard of a "salicylic peel" which is supposed to be very good, and accutane. are these effective? do they have side effects which last for more than a day like redness lasting for a week etc?
THANK YOU SO MUCH..sorry if this was long but I REALLY NEED HELP!! im fed up having bad skin...
thank you :)

Why Can't I Get Rid of Bad Acne and Oily Skin?!?

About a year ago I began getting acne a little acne on my face and it started spreading to my upper back, and the back of my neck. It only got worse as time went on. I've been trying quite a few treatments since then and none seemed to have worked. Here are some of the things I have tried; Clearasil, ProActive, Ginseng Cream, and some Neutragena stuff too. Nothing was extremely effective. And during that time acne also spread to sometimes getting it a little on the front of my neck and my upper chest. Thats crossing the line for me! Having it on my face, back, neck, and chest! Really? The recently I got this bump on my nose, and over to the side of it. They're big with no signs of getting better. I went to the doctor when I somewhat sick. She looked at my face while in the process (just wondering what was going on there) and told me it was a type of cystic acne on the face. I definitely did believe here and still do. She then put me on a pill that I have to take daily which doesn't seem to work either. This is where I am now; cystic acne on the face with plenty of smaller acne around (chin cheeks somewhat, forehead, and nose), all sorts of bad acne on the back that has been scarring me for months, scar-ful acne on the upper neck near the face, with acne on the lower neck too. And now I have my chest also to worry about, the acne on my chest tends to scar and is mostly black heads (whatever the ones that are black and feel like little goosebumps, last I read they're called white heads but these are black).
What should I do? With the scarring I can't try 50 million different things, take for ever to find something and in the time it takes me to find what I'm looking for, load up on scars! I begging you for help to fix this. I've been dealing with criticism, being made fun of at school. Even my friends while mess with me its so bad! Someone please give me possible solutions!
