No hope for acnefree skin? *long story*?

Question

ive tried multiple products. soooo many since 6th grade, till now, incoming 10th grade

my acne got bad over the years, benzoyl peroxide tends to keep it on my forehead, salicylic acid seems to move it on cheeks, and chin.

im using neutrogena face wash, which is S.A. and has been good, er..fair compared to others

i spike my hair, using a bit of gel, but, that doesnt seem to make it significantly worse.

and i dont want proactiv, cause pricey and b.p. and may take awhile because of my family acne history.

i hardly touch my face, i wash every day, i dont stress too hard, and food has been proven to not be related to acne.

basically my question is, what hope do i have? i know i have lacked in girlfriends because of my acne, even though im a decent guy but most girls are judge book by blemished covers. :|

im afraid for dermatoligists cause i know itll make my skin worse for a few months, and may NOT work. and is pricey.

ive tried toothpaste, shaving cream, endless products, home remedies,

and how can i keep my skin not so oily during work? because i dab my face with tissue to prevent it from getting too oily.

and yet i STILL break out after every precaution i take.

i apologize for jumping around, and making this complicated, but i need some help, 10points for best answer.

if a picture is required, then, ill do so, just didnt want to right now because of criticism.

so if i could get some nice help, then id appreciate it

Answer 1

like the teeth you should wash your face at least three times a day, and even though most people say you souldn`t pop a pimple or scratch it, i do it and it's work pretty well so far just do it before washing your face and you also sould use some product that cleans th skin thorougly with a cotton like the oxy product with salicylic acid and alcohol

Answer 2

i no you said that dermatoligists dont work.....

but both my brothers (one of them is a stepbrother so its not just cause thts what happens for my family) got the lazer treatment and it worked amazingly, i honestly didnt recognize them. as long as you dont touch you face after youll be fine!

and as for the expensive part, isnt it worth it, when you go to college you dont want to be covered in zits!

Answer 3

try skin products from Mario Badescu. :)

Answer 4

I know that dermatologists are expensive, however, it might be your last hope. They might just prescribe a pills for you. My friend uses them, she has super clear skin with a healthy glow.

Drink LOTS of water.

Eat healthy.

Exercise.

Go to Macy's or something like that...and the Clinique counter has acne products for Men. You might want to give that a try!

Have you tried Turmeric Paste? You might find that at Trader Joes or something...just ask for Turmeric Powder add a bit of water to turn it into a paste...put it on your face..keep it on for about ten minutes.

For Oily skin...toners work best...I know it might seem odd, but Clinique also has toner for Oily skin...it is for chicks, but it will work on your skin...its really cheep...only like 20 bucks for a huge bottle...you just dab it on some cotton...and apply on your face.
