YES there is!
First of all, you have to remember that your acne is just toxins trapped in your skin. Your skin needs to be steamed clean. A facial steam. A small pot of boiling water, (add some herbal tea,open the tea bag), Grab a towel, large enough to cover your head, lean over the boiling water, and let the rising steam cleanse your clogged pores). Do this until, no more steam.
Do this at least ONCE a week.
Or you can always spend $ on a facial steamer at the drug store.
Also, if you only can afford one acne product, choose Benzegel Acne Gel. Use it nightly. It works! (clearasil too)
Also, keep sugar & sodium intake down.(check your food labels!)
Eat your veggies & fruits!

If u have zits, mash 2 strawberrys and leave on ur face for 5 min.
the strawberrys are high in saliycyc acid, which is da main ingredient in most acne products. by the time the strawberryes left ur face, the zits should be erased.
if u have blackheads, paint on a thick layer of ELMERS liquid glue and peel it offf after its dried. or boil some water and add a teaspoon of epson salt and 3 drops of iodine(or some iodized salt ^^) then aopply to blackheads. they will make the blackheads loose so they can be wiped or easily sqeezed away.
hope these home-recipe help ya

Not a very easy question, but i find that it really helps to keep your face CLEAN! By that I don't just mean washing twice daily, but using a special cleanser(yes, I know, u have 2 pay for it!). For a while I used microwaved milk as a cleanser and it makes the skin very smooth and clean. Also, never let anything come into contact with your face unless you're supposed to. For instance, I used to cover my face with my blanket when I slept, but now that I don't cover my face, It's much clearer.

Not really. Invest $20.00 in some cleaner with Salicylic Acid. Your acne will be gone in weeks. Go to Sephora.

Well you can use regular soap and water but that can dry your skin out. If you do decide to use it after you wash your face make sure you use moisturizer especially one with a SPF in it.

press ice on a really pig pimple for a while... it works really really works to bring the swelling and redness. Also if you have a visine that gets rid of red eyes put some on your pimple so it looks less red.

Wash your face twice a day or when you feel oily. NEVER touch your face. Like dont prop your head/face on your hands.

Cover your face with your own excrement. I hear it works wonders!
