Nothing topical worked for me that I could buy at the store. Not even Proactive...which everyone kept telling me to try. I had really bad cystic acne caused by Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, which I only found out that I had after going the the doctor for my adult acne. Anyway, the dermatologist started doing what are called Beta peels on me. They control the sebum (nasty sticky oil that creates clogged pores) that your skin secretes. I also got some laser done for the small amount of scarring that my acne caused and I have a beautiful face now. Even the doctor is amazed. I was getting the peels every 6 weeks but I have not had one for about 4 months now and I am just now starting to break out again so I will make an appointment to go back. My dermatologist charges $100 per peel. Expensive but when you have adult acne like mine was, it is so worth it! Don't be discouraged if the first one doesn't work that well, they will increase the strength until they find the one that works best. Good luck!

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.

I struggled with acne for years and I finally found the solution that works for me. We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!
Those of us who suffer from acne have usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:
1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.
2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.
I found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back. It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs or doctors. The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know.
There is a great website: http://cure-my-acne.info/3daycure/ that has all the details. I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.

I had the same problem. Never had a problem with acne til I hit 22. I'm 26 now and found that Pro-Activ works best for me. It's a little pricey, but I don't really care what the price is if I don't look like I'm 14. You can buy it online! Good luck!!!!

Well first of all try procative, it really wotks for me.
Or if proactive is to expnsive then you can go to Walmart, of CVS, or somewear like that and get Acne Free, It is ALOT like proactive..
Another good thing is wash your face with very HOT water, and then when u dry your face then put VERY VERY cold water on your face, it will help close you pores!!!
