What Would Be The BEST Treatment For Acne?

So, I've got not that bad acne, but it just wont go away! I've tried tons of different lotions, face washes, the pads(im using OXY) but all that does is dry my face out a lot. I've also tried a professional kit which is suppose to work, but it didnt! I'm getting my mom to bring me to my doctor to give a prescription medication for the acne because nothing is working! I also try each product like atteast 2 weeks minimum, and I've got a pretty good diet. I do eat some junk food and drink some soda, but it isn't really that much. And come on! Who honestly doesn't?! lol please give me some input on what medication I should try to get! Thanks!

Acne Treatment Kits: Are they a hoax?

Just looking for some thoughts on this!

I have moderate acne and have had problems with it for a long time. It's a tough battle trying to buy products that work, when in reality, the only ones that really will have lasting success are prescription that can only be given by doctors or dermatologists.

I've tried everything like a lot of people have. ProActiv, Murad, Clean & Clear, Neutrogena, AcneFree, etc. None of them have worked for me. All of the celebrity endorsements and TV commercials do an impressively convincing job selling their product, but is that all it is?

Selling basically a drugstore product and marketing it as something of higher quality, when it's nearly the same as what you can purchase from the shelves? It can be really misleading considering everyone's skin and acne is different which is why prescription medication works better.

Have any of you had any success with those kits? Were they worth buying and would you purchase them again?
It isn't really me so much, I'm just curious to see what other people think. =) I have come up with a regimen of my own, combining products (all different brands) that I like. It's just interesting how none of the kits ever worked, but this does.

What acne treatment is best for my type of acne?

Okay so first you should know is that I have VERY sensitive skin. If I eat the wrong food, use the wrong product... I get pimples or dry skin. I've solved my dry skin problem... but not my acne problem. My pimples range from little to about a large-medium. And I get them a lot at once, on mostly between the eyebrows, or the forehead. And they're red, and occasionally big enough to pop.I've tried clean and clear, Clinique acne wash, and prescription medication. Any product suggestions that would work for my type of acne?

Are natural products more effective in the treatment of severe acne?

I have really bad acne, literally. My entire face, arms, chest, and back is covered with it. I have gone to two different dermatologists about it and am realizing that my options have basically dwindled down to a handful. Basically none of the meds have worked. So that is my story.

Recently I have researched that all natural products, such as those from Burt's Bee's, are actually more affective in the treatment of acne than prescription medication. Is this true?

I have also researched that tea tree oil is very effective in treating acne. Is this true?

I am, at this point, basically willing to do and try anything to treat my acne and stop new acne from forming? I would really appreciate any information you can give me.
