My kids used the ProActive Products. You can get them QVC or on their website. One of them did go to a dematologist and got some antibiotics for about a year, but they still use the Proactive as a cleanser. It really works.
Washing your face is great for your skin, but it is not the point of emphasis of your acne. In fact, vigorous rubbing of the skin can irritate it and make it even worse. The best suggestion is to set up an appointment with a dermatologist, perhaps getting some applicable cream or such.
i'd recommend consulting your physician or seeing a dermatologist before buying a stockpile of acne cleansing products.
don't scrub your face! you will irritate your pimples...I have had acne since I was eleven and I still have it thirteen years later. If you scrub too much, you will irritate the pimples making them red and irritated. If you wash too much, your skin will become dry, overproduce oil, and cause more pimples. This is what is recommended by dermatologists and what has always worked well for me: wash morning and night with a mild cleanser that balances the oil in your skin. Look for a face wash that claims to balance the amounts of oil in your skin. Also, try proactive, but follow the directions, because if you don't you won't recieve the results that they potentially deliver.
I had the same problem last year and I went to my doctor. He
prescribed me pills called Minocycline. They work by slowing down the rate that oil is produced on the face which shrinks all the acne spots. He also prescribed me something called Stiemycin. Which is a liquid that you dabb onto the acne after you shower. My face cleared up in 2 weeks, but that was because my face wasnt really bad.
