Here are some REALLY good, and very inexpensive ways to treat most acne at home. Try each method (unless you’re allergic to the ingredients) until you find one that works best for you. Good luck =) BTW, I know some of these may sound bizarre but try them…what have you got to lose other than the acne!!
1. Put toothpaste on your acne before going to bed. (Make sure it is paste not gel). It should reduce the swelling of acne noticeably.
2. Dab egg whites on your acne and leave on for 20 minutes or overnight. It’s supposed to pull the infection out of the blemish.
3. Wash acne infected areas twice a day with warm salt water. This reduces oils in the skin and helps to dry the acne up without further agitation.
4. Use ice on acne before going to bed. This works best on pimples that have not yet formed a head. It reduces swelling and helps to prevent scarring.
5. Wash and dab acne with cotton balls that have been soaked in vinegar. Let dry; do not wash off immediately.
6. Place strawberries leaves over your acne and the alkalinity will help to reduce the swelling.
7. Try taking salmon oil supplements (found in health food stores and vitamin shops).
*Always drink plenty of water, eat healthy foods and get exercise.

Proactive works, but is really expensive. One order for $40 will last for about 2 months, but there's a generic brand that is just as good. It's called Acne Free. You can get it at WalMart for like $17.

Go on the Internet and look up blue light therapy for acne. Find a dermatologist who has a blue light in his/her office, so you can have these treatments. You place your face under a blue light (in the correct blue wavelength spectrum) and it kills all the bacteria in your pores. It requires several treatments, but you don't need any medication! I hope you look into it! It's also FDA approved, and clinical studies have shown that it works!

i know several people that have used "proactive" for theirs, it's a face care system you get like face wash, toner, masks, stuff like that and it cleared theirs up in like a month. i don't think they sell it in stores though so you'd have to look online or they have commercials for it too.
