Unfortunately, finding an effective skin care regimen for acne-prone skin can be quite a frustrating experience. But acne can be controlled, and it is important that you understand what type of acne you have and seek treatment as soon as possible to avoid scarring. The best way to treat your acne is to be informed, aware, and positive. Most common cases of adult acne consist of blackheads, whiteheads & occasional breakouts of mild acne, while a small number developed inflamed acne papules or pustules. Severe cases require proper medical attention. For the majority cases of mild acne, it can be controlled with good sensible skin care treatment. The people affected are considered to have “oily & acne prone skin”. Benzoyl peroxide is the normal ingredient to treat acne and dryness, itchiness and blotchiness are often cited as side effects. I would recommend you use salycilic acid. I had been struggling with acne for 9 years and I have tried everything (even those beautiful people on commercials like proactive....after trying proactiv i thought well these people are paid to do the commercials, they are actors, they are perfect.... but it was tempting, so i ordered the product and honestly did not work for me. I was given as a gift a Clear Advantage set for acne, and it has kept my skin nice and smooth, no more breakouts, no more blackheads, no more embarrassments... I am telling you they are great.... and for the price wow... $66 the entire set and lasts .... so you should check it out, i know you will contact me after seeing the amazing results... check them out, they will return your money if they do not work.... http://arbonnepuertorico.myarbonne.com and go under shop online and they are called CLEAR ADVANTAGE.... you have nothing to loose... only some acne and blemishes;~)

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.
If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.

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:

There are many types of acne so I don't know which kind you're referring to. If it's the kind like boils, go see adermatologist. Your face is inflammed and needs antibiotics to combat the problem. If it's occasional spots, you can try using lavender + tea tree oil by mixing one drop each and dab with cotton-bud. Drink 2 litres of water a day. Eat more veggies and fruits. Have at least 7hrs of sleep for cell-regeneration. Your age plays a part in oil-secretion. Sebum is not totally a bad thing if you are in your 30s or more because it hydrates your skin when regeneration starts to slow down. Use an oil-free cleanser (not for acne), toner and lotion. That should keep your sebum in balance.

My son's and I have oily skin and acne. We ordered Proactive, and were very pleased with the results. It is well worth the price.
This is the only product -without a perscription- that worked for us.

Ever night I use "Certaphil" which makes my skin really smooth. Then, I rub some "Neutrogena oil-free moisture" on my face. After this, I use"Clean and clear advantage acne spot treatment" it's for sudden breakouts or specific pimples. In the morning I wash with the "neutrogena wave" which fights and prevents acne, as well as makes my skin nice and smooth. Remember to wash off make-up ever night, because it can make your skin really oily over night and even give you more acne. You might even consider buying oil free make-up that doesn't clog pores. Remember to wash you face daily. I have heard that the other "Clean and clear" products are fantastic although I've never used them. I believe they are clinically proven to be better then "proactive", although I have also heard that is very effective as well. You might also consider eating foods lower in fat. Try drinking tea daily. I've heard that helps as well. Also, notice that the specific places on your face where you have major breakouts might be places where you rest your hands at work or school. Try keeping your hands away from the face. Hope this helps!

Swab the decks, matey. Skin-care companies have come up with nifty foil-wrapped packets of alcohol-saturated wipes for oily skin. They're similar to the larger wipes that women with children often carry for tidying up kids away from home. The smaller facial wipes are easy to tuck into your handbag or briefcase. Then, when you notice that your nose is shiny with oil, you can peel a packet apart in a bathroom and wipe the oil from your face. The alcohol cuts through the oil and dries up your skin. They smell nice and refreshing and they're very convenient. Look for Tyrosum wipes, among other brands, in major drugstores, or ask your pharmacist to order them.
Wash with care. If you have oily skin, you may be tempted to scrub that oil away every chance you get. But washing your face too much--more than three times a day--may stimulate your skin to produce more oil. Every skin pore is a little oil factory, and your skin knows how much is produced--as if it had a little dipstick. So if you constantly remove that oil, your skin says, 'Oops! Not enough oil. Better make some more.'
Hard scrubbing and rubbing stirs up the oil glands, too, so be gentle. And if you have oily skin, avoid superfatted soaps (intended to moisturize as they clean) like Dove and Tone--your skin doesn't need any added oil. Antibacterial soaps (like Dial and antibacterial Lever 2000) are helpful. That's because oily skin has a tendency to clog the pores and foster bacterial growth.
Rely on witch hazel. Among dermatologists witch hazel is a popular astringent. Don't let the name fool you. Witch hazel is mild and doesn't have a lot of added ingredients. It's always best to keep skin-care products as simple as possible--use the purest products. And be wary of natural products containing essential oils (extracts of herbs used in aromatherapy and massage)--some people are allergic to them.
Go powder your nose. Talcum powder, whether it's formulated for the body or if it's loose face powder, is oil-free. What's more, talc blots the oil on your skin. People with oily skin need a little powder after they bathe and when they apply makeup.
Apply loose face powder after applying foundation. Pressed powder is not recommended, because it contains some oil and may make acne worse in susceptible women.

Try the Clear Skin Regimen by Acne.org, I set a goal of three months for myself last April and stuck with it, after a month my skin was completely clear, and since I set a goal farther away it was easier to achieve, as I didn't have my hopes up for a quick fix.
