What works well for you if you only have breakouts sometimes but would like to have flawless skin? I probably can't afford things like ProActiv, though... Suggestions on diet, habits, or in-store products would be helpful. Thanks!

Drink lots of water, fresh fruit and eat fish. As far as acne goes... try Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash. I use it 2 times a day and also use a toner (alcohol free) and follow up with and oil free (Oil of Olay) moisturizer and I have great skin.
I've tried other stuff out and never works as well as my little combo plate.
Good luck! :)

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.
For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.
Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

Try fasting. Acne is from toxins and fasting is a great way for the body to get rid of them. A one day a week juice fast did wonders for my acne. Also try staying away from toxins. Start by eliminating junk food, soft drinks, and fast food. Avoid any foods that have high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated anything, transfats, & enriched whatevers it's all bad for you. Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins and get 8 hours of sleep.
Best of luck!

I use the Miracle Set (combination to oily) by Mary Kay. The set will give you younger looking skin, fewer lines, improved firmness, and even skin tone. It's very gentle and will not irritate your face. http://www.marykay.com/adina_k/skincare/antiaging/miracleset_combinationtooily/default.aspx
Be sure to finish your daily skin care routine with a foundation to protect against the elements, and to help your skin look smooth and blemish-free. You can also use a concealer underneath your foundation. Mary Kay's foundations come in 20 different shades and provide stay-true, stay-put color, and controls excess oil for up to eight hours! http://www.marykay.com/adina_k/color/foundations/mediumcoveragefoundation/default.aspx
You can also throw in the Blemish Control Toner 3, which is an acne medication that leaves your skin free of excess oil. http://www.marykay.com/adina_k/skincare/classicbasicskincare/10106500/10106500/default.aspx
The last thing is the Acne Treatment Gel. It will dry and clear blemishes, and allows skin to heal without irritation.

Just be sure to always properly moisturize, even while breaking out. If you don't, your skin will start to produce extra oils to compensate and you'll just break out more.
You can start with what's written above, but I also strongly recommend TimeWise® Even Complexion Essence. It really evens out your natural tone and reverses skin discoloration.

Ask a doctor or dermatologist for a special acne wash for your acne. and everyone who has oily skin gets acne, its a part of life youll probably have it well into high school. just keep up cleaning it, and eatting good, and drinking water. Also when you sweat wipe it off :) good luck!!!

taking a tablespoon of olive oil every day can help to make your skin beautiful. It sounds weird, but it does work! And eating less junk food, and drinking more water, and eating less processed sugar (stuff with "high fructose corn syrup" in it should be avoided- and that's ALMOST EVERYTHING!)
