If you are female, birth control pills can help.
Also, change your detergants to one for sensitive skin.
Neutragena has a body wash that really helps. I had this happen when I was preganant and this wash was the only thing that worked.
Good luck!

Wash your face twice a day with warm water and a good face wash.
You can buy good face washes just about anywhere, they're not too expensive.
I recommend a wash with salicylic acid. It will work just fine with less irritation.
* Benzoyl Peroxide is also effective at treating acne, but in my experience it causes a lot of dryness and redness.

After you wash, make sure you moisturize your skin within 5 minutes.
* It's important to use a non-comedogenic lotion. These kind of lotions do not irritate the skin.
* Keeping your face moisturized will reduce dryness and your face will be less oily. It's very important.

Never touch your face or pop your pimples. Popping them will only make them worse, and they'll spread.
- If you must pop them, wipe your face immediately after with alcohol. This will kill the bacteria so they won't spread.
* Alcohol will dry your face out really fast so I wouldn't do this very often.

*Lemon Juice is used as a homeopathic treatment for acne. Lemon juice also contains one of the AHAs or Alpha Hydroxy Acids and can be used to slough off dead skin, promoting skin elasticity, and enabling new skin cell growth rise from underneath.

Keep your pillow cases clean. Wash them often. Once a week if possible.

This isn't a one time thing, you have to continue this over time to see a difference. Once you get in the routine it will become natural and your face will be flawless!

*** Products I use..

1.) Clean&Clear - Advantage (3 in 1 foaming face wash) 8 Dollars
2.) Clean&Clear - Advantage (Acne control moisturizer) - 7
3.) CeraVe moisturizing face wash and lotion - about 35 (together)
4.) Neutrogena ( On The Spot) - No more than 5
5.) Stridex pads (Sensitive) - About 5

- I use 1 in the shower, and sometimes before bed.
- I use 2 before bed on most night.
- I use 3 in the morning to make my face look nice. The lotion won't make your face look oily.
- I use 4 when I see a breakout starting.
- I use 5 when I get home from school, and randomly when I feel like my face is dirty.

* FOR SCARS *

Buy some vitamin E.
You can get it at any pharmacy. It's really cheap.
Get about 3 of them out. Use something sharp to puncture the gel coating. Squeeze the vitamin E on the whole effected area. Leave it on for about an hour.

Other benefits of vitamin E on the skin..
* Helps to remove wrinkles
* Moisturizes
* Reduces redness
* Generally makes your face more look and feel more youthful

Be careful with the vitamin E on your face.. If you get it on your pillow case you'll have to wash it. Possibly twice. It won't be sticky or anything.. But it will leave a dark spot.

Hi.

Some of my friends and myself suffered from acne on our back, face, chest and other places for long time. We tried a lot of creams and other products without success. Only when we started to follow the acne no more method the acne disappear. It is not over night but it do the magic.

Good luck.

Im a senior and ive had it since the 7th grade. Its just natural. It happens to some and dosnt happen to others. Your best chance is to with ProActiv. Ive had the most luck with it, but it never goes away completely.

I had the same problem before. My dermatologist gave a orange peel soap and after 2 weers it disappeared. she said that pimples on those areas are caused by hormonal changes.. i assume you are in your teenage years...
