What do you people use or used to clear your skin. I've tried Proactiv, Retin-A, Accutane, and many other products that failed to clear my skin.

Stop eat and drink junk food. I stoped drinking soda and mine went away.

Hi! Have you tried products with glycolic acid? My sister had really great results with a cleanser that had glycolic acids in it. Make sure that you use a toner and a moisturizer, too. Your skin needs moisture, so if you don't replace the oils that you remove, your skin will work overtime replacing the oils. It's much better to add moisture that you control.
Things that can aggravate acne: scrubbing too hard, cleansing too often (two times per day is ideal), using a washcloth to wash your face, not adding a moisturizer.
Oh, yeah, I sell Mary Kay, and I'll be happy to send you samples of Velocity skin care to try, if you email me at pennyrtyler@yahoo.com

I have it sometimes. Instead of using tons of skin products, try drinking tons of water. I know it sounds cliche. But the times when I get a breakout are the days right after or during times when I don't drink enough water. If I drink plenty it pretty much clears itself up.
For me soda causes breakouts, so you might want to cut those out. Juice and water are better for you anyway.

I tried proactive a few years ago, which didnt work for me either. then I went to the doctors and got a prescription for a topical gel, which cleared my acne up fast. I am surprised accutane didnt work for you. well, good luck!

Same here. Lemon juice helps a little (rub on your face 3-5 time a day).
