my best friend is 13, and has a lot of zits, alot more than she should have. She was using a cream, and it was working, but her family couldn't get it anymore, because there insurance couldn't cover it anymore or something. So do you know what would work for her?

Always avoid products that are formulated with mineral oil. This is derived from petroleum and is very harmful for your skin's health, in fact it is the second worse thing you could do to your skin. The first thing would be the sun. Also products formulated with animal products or by products are also damaging to your skin. Do not know if you are aware form where animal products come ... they come from plants called Rendering Plants (recycled animals) where they pick all dead animals and they put it inside a very huge pot and they boil it and all the oil that comes afloat is called animal oil and our skin does not absorb this type of oil. Always try to use natural products based on botanical principles. I had been struggling with acne for over 9 years and tried everything and nothing worked. For acne they might have given her a product containing benzoyl peroxide, this is too strong for your skin and will dry it up, peeling it. the products i used contain salicylic acid and it is way much better because it does not over dry your skin and it clears it way much better. I buy them online at: https://secure.myarbonne.com/arbonne/arbonnepuertorico.nsf/p1/1?OpenDocument&shoppingcart=1 .. the best part is that if there is a product which you did not like or did not give a certain result, you are able to return it and they will give your money back, nobody else will do that with used products ... so there is nothing to loose, just the acne ,.... good luck to your friend ....

I use the Clear Skin Regimen at http://www.acne.org. It's a non-profit (so it's free), the guy who created used to suffer from pimples himself. The system works wonders on my face, and its helped countless other people. The best part is that you don't have to order or buy any expensive treatments, everything you need for the Regimen can be found at your local drugstore. Find out more at the website.
In general, for clear skin it helps if you: don't touch/pick at your skin, drink lots of water, wash your hair frequently, change your pillowcases, exercise, wear little make-up (or if needed, hypo-allergenic makeup), and minimize stress. Another tip is to look up online consumer reviews of acne products before you buy them, using sites like epinions.com or drugstore.com. A great website I use to get cosmetic reviews is makeupalley.com (A mostly women's site). Hope this helps!

If your skin is oily, you can apply tomatoes to your face. It counters oily skin by absorbing surplus oil and also helps get rid of pimples and acne. Apply undiluted tomato paste to your face and leave on for 15 minutes. Wash off with warm, not hot, water.
Good luck babe xx

i say to use proactiv... but it is some what expensive ($60 for a 6-week supply). tell her to try using different products (about 2-weeks for each one) and compare results. get products that are oil free and have benzol peroxide and saclyic acid in them- they help get rid of acne and prevent it. if she wears make-up, make sure it is oil free.

If her family has medical insurance, I would think a dermatologist would be covered.
