What's a good product for mild acne?

Since I've been really stressed out lately, I have alot of breakouts on my forehead. Some are pretty painful. I also have a few blackheads on my nose.

What can I use? Neutrogena isn't strong enough, but I'm afraid with prescription it will be too strong. I used my brother's prescription cream and and scarred and made some of my old acne from two years leave marks.

Help?

is it possible that my birth control is causing me to have acne?

I've always had a few breakouts here and then never anything extreme, mostly just blackheads.
Since starting birth control (beyaz) last month I've noticed a change in my skin. I've been getting large under the skin type pimples the kind that are painful and bleed a lot of leave a scab if you pop them.

I thought that if anything birth control was supposed to HELP acne not CAUSE acne.
Is this just a weird coincidence or is the birth control possibly causing it?
If so what should I do?

Effective Acne Treatment?

I've always suffered from a pretty moderate acne problem, but it's never really bothered me too much. But lately I've been having worse breakouts and it's affecting all of my face. I'm using this Neutrogena cream stuff but it doesn't seem to be helping much.

Can anyone tell me how I can prevent breakouts like less soda or something like that? Also if you know of any face washes or homemade remedies that can help me, please let me know!

Thanks :)

How do you get rid of a breakout on your chest?

I've been breaking out [getting lots of pimples] on my chest. It's kinda gross, no, really gross. :[

I don't know what I've done to cause them to occur, I don't know, puberty? They've appeared on my chest about 2 years ago, when I was about 14 and a half, and I still have them. I put acne medication on them [clearasil vanishing acne cream], and I always drink water, I don't wear tight clothing that would cause sweat/drt/bacteria to remain on my chest after working out during tennis/working out in general.

What's the best way to get rid of this chest acne, at least, for me, I want to have it all gone by spring break, this year, which is in mid-March, meaning, I want to get rid of my chest acne in at least 6 weeks, or a slightly longer.

I also have very mild breakouts on my face, mostly on my cheeks lately, sometimes where the acne occurs--my skin feels itchy and I want to scratch it or use my jacket or sleeve to wipe it, but I don't touch it. What can I do to prevent the mild breakouts?

I have scars on my chest, because I used to pick at the pimples on my chest when they first occured, but I havent picked on it since like the beginning of last year.

Is it just being a teenager, still? How long will acne take to stop occuring so often? My brother had it bad when he was my age, [14-19], but now he is 21, and he has almost no visible acne. He uses no acne products.

Is this still just that teen phase thing, acne?
I know acne will never permanently disappear, no matter what age, but I'd just like to get it off my chest [literally, pun intended], and reduce mild breakouts.

Thanks much!
I'm not looking for any smart answers, miss love</3.
