Everybody's different. I never had acne through high school, but got it when I was around 19. Proactive didn't work, Clearasil, Clinique, Oil of Olay, Neutrogina, topical creams from the dermatologist... Nothing worked.
The only product that worked was from Mary Kay, and it not only gets rid of pimples, but makes your skin look really vibrant. It has been the #1 selling skin care product since 1993, so that's probably why :-)
I use:
- Mary Kay TimeWise 3-in-1 Cleanser
- Mary Kay TimeWise Moisturizer
- Mary Kay Acne Blot Treatment
- Mary Kay TimeWise Microdermabrasion Set
- Mary Kay TimeWise Even Complexion Essence
It's all satisfaction guaranteed, so if you don't like it - return it.

You can have acne well into adulthood. I'm 26 and still get pimples here and there. The best thing to do (that's free) is drink lots of water and avoid sodas. Wash your face regularly with a non abrasive face wash. Also, try Proactiv and some other medicines. They help. I was on Accutane, which is a highly potent (and possibly dangersous) medication. Talk to a dermatologist. It's worth the time and money.

Yes, I think it is very normal to have pimples.
It could be a change in your hormone levels if you're a women.
I am almost 27 years old and I still get a pimple close to my cycle.

Listen to the King, one who will truely show they way, everyone else is still learning like P.Daddy and etc! You need to stop drinking all that soda and start drinking more water. I know you don't water, but you have to drink the tasteless stuff regularly! And also stop using that soap that has all that purfume in it. Our skin is NOT made to come into contact with such strong ingredients. Use odorless soap like Ivory or natural soaps!! Keep your fingers off your face and that's about it. No you don't have to go to the doctor or none of that, just follow these simply instructions.

Yeah. It's normal. The solution to acne is medicine. Try using a facial wash first. Then something that refreshes your skin. Finally use that product that helps prevent future acne. Three products or more make a great team. Trust me. This worked for me.

yes some people have pimples for longer but this usually means that you will have less wrinkles later in life. Look at Kelly Clarkson, P.Diddy, Jessica Simpson, Brooke Shields and Vanessa Williams they put them on those commercials for a reason

Unfortunately its normal. Or maybe its abnormal but you are not alone. TONS of people have the same problem. That is why there are so many creams. Some people grow out of it some dont. There are natural ways to improve your situation. Stress causes outbreaks sometimes makes and outbreak worse, Grease and dirt are real criminals. It is importnat to keep your face clean.

Some people live with it all there lives. I finally went to a dermatologist at 26. He treated mine with an antibiotic. Also said do not use regular soap, use a mild soap for your face like cetaphil. You can get at walmart. Facial cleaners with alcohol in it can dry your face out causing it to overproduce oils. So you would be defeating thhe purpose.
