3 steps for home remedy for acne (this does not get rid of scars), wash face w/ body soap, apply tea tree oil conditioner (found in most natural food stores), and moisturize (preferably w/ a moisturizer with a built in sun block spf 15). You might also want to try the occastional mud mask treatments, and sugar scrubs (all found in natural food stores, or Bath and Body Works).

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.

One of the most important acne remedies that tend to be overlooked because of its very simplicity is actually keeping the affected skin clean and free from dirt. This may mean washing the affected areas several times a day with either soap and water or specialist cleansers.

There is an over the counter remedy called Chromium Picholinate. it's in the vitamin section at Kroger, Wal*Mart, etc. It works really well for most people. Just be sure to ask the pharmacist if there are any counterreactions that can occur with anything else that you might be taking. Best of luck to you. -James
