Answer 1

Go to your doctor,

he/she can subscribe something to you.

Answer 2

i have the same problem...i used proactiv and it did the same thing to me. i just found this great product called skin id. you answer these questions on what kind of acne and c**p you have and it gives you what you need to help you clear your face. so far it works for me.  

Answer 3

try the clinque 3-step face wash. it really helps and also try some of there acne removers. they also work really well.

Answer 4

get clean and clear spot treatment.

and apply it on your zits twice a day.

and wash with neutrogena clear pore oil-eliminating astringent twice a day. then use the clinique 3-step process twice a day. and for the clarifying lotion in the 3-step... get the one for oily skin.

these are the steps:

first: neutrogena wash.

second: clinique 3-step process.

third: spot treatment.

and after your face clears up for good... theres another wash you should use that keeps your face clear. ive tried almost every acne treatment. i dont have acne... but i have occasional breakouts. im pro at this stuff. lol. so if you have any questions, email me.

hope that helps =]

p.s. sleep in. that makes a difference.

Answer 5

No actually I LOVE acne. Rolls eyes.

Answer 6

Sometimes I put toothpaste or calamine lotion on my zits at night to dry them out. But sometimes toothpaste can burn 'cause I use mint.

Answer 7

You should see a dermatologist. I wouldn't recommend accutane unless absolutely necessary, it has serious side effects including suicide and death. I was put on it twice and ended up using 3 medications at once rather than using accutane again. I would have horrible nose bleeds gushing blood and suicidal thoughts, which are both side effects. Birth control reduced my acne by a ton without the crazy dangerous side effects. I also only use dove energy glow or rose soap to wash my face and the apricot scrub (st Ives or something) to exfoliate.  

Answer 8

You need to visit the Dermatologist. I have tryed many many many thouisands of things. What i had to do is go on Accutane. You might have to do the same, learn more about it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accutane.  

Answer 9

Check out ACNE.org. They have a lot of sugesions, as well as message boards.  

Answer 10

um go to a dermatologist.

don't fool around with crappy over-the-counter creams and washes.

Answer 11

More than anything!  I always seemed to get them at the worst time... like the morning of prom. :/

I had really bad skin for years, but as soon as I went on birth control (for acne, not sexual reasons) it started clearing up.  I've had perfect skin for almost a year now and it's better than ANYTHING!
