Sure i used have horrible pimples. I used to steam my face every night the put some vitamin E cream on. With in 3 weeks i saw a huge improvement. Now all i do is wash with mild soaps (Johnson's baby wash) and vitamin E cream and now i have wonderful skin. Every now and then i get out breaks but it pales in comparison to before. Some times its just trial and error. What works for one may not work for you. Take every ones advice and see what works for you.

Clearasil has 10% benzoil peroxide, which can be very drying, but if you have oily skin it will definitely keep your acne under control. Other types of acids are more effective for minor acne problems. Salisylic acid (may be spelled different) is usually found in pads and some face washes. Always wash your face at least three times a day. A good strong one for the morning is perfect to wake you up as well. These are the best fairly inexpensive options that are available anywhere. Good luck.

You don't want to spend a fortune on products like proactive. They are for really bad skin. If you only have a few breakouts here and there, I suggest cleaning your face with an antibacterial soap twice a day and avoiding oily or greasy creams. I always use alcohol on my face after I clean it when I have a zit. It helps dry it out. Good luck! :)

Proactive has been proven to work because its active ingrediant is benzoyl peroxide. You can go to the pharmacy and by tubes of it in varying strengths. Don't go very strong it will dry out your skin.
Try washing your face with a salicylic acid based face was that is non abrasive then just put some benzoyl on your spots or problem areas.
Don't use a grainy exfoliator on your face and don't use benzoyl on open spots.

Though proactive is expenisive, it really is the way to go. And it seems to last just about forever so don't worry about spending the money because you woudl probably waste it all in trying new creams and buying new tubes all the time. Sometimes you just got to take the plunge!
If you REALLY REALLY cannot afford that, try Clear Pore- mask/ cleanser and use it before bed every night. It workd well, though not as good as proactive, but it still is alright!
But I truely believe proactive is the way to go!

There's always Pro-Activ. It's like $30 for a set I think.
But, if it's just a few spots here and there, I say just wash your face everyday with gentle soup. Rinse with cold water, since cold water helps close the pores better.

Since the acne is few only, no need for you to bother that much. All you need to do is to watch your food intake. No to sweets, nuts and fatty food. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Also, go to bed early.

Clearasil... The generic brand is Equate, and it's very cheap, only a couple bucks. It works great. Although you won't need much of it, it can actually dry out your skin if you put it on in excess...

dont use cream, they are all artificial and useless. just stop eating all junk foods for a while, drink a lot of water and sleep alot. If you are getting hungry and you want junk food, eat a lot of noodles but not the two minute ones. Dont let temptation cave in
