Try Cetaphil at the drugstore or Target..almost anywhere. Don't touch the area with your fingers. And keep your hair clean and off your face. The teenage years are horrid! My daughter still uses the Cetaphil and she is now in hers 30's. She started at 12 using this cleanser and it worked without drying the skin out. Don't wash but maybe in the morning and then at night before bed. Make sure you use a good skincare system also. Moisturize for oily skin ...it's out there...try Arbonne website. It's made from essential oils and you will love it. Best stuff out there...I should know, I've tried them all.

I have had acne since I was in my early 20's and until 2 years ago I couldn't find anything that would work all the time. And I get the large ones that are sometimes the size of dimes!! This product was suggested by a beauty cosultant. It's called
" Persa-gel 5 " I've been using it twice a day and it works so quickly and thoroughly that it seems as if I've never had an acne problem!! Now my son uses it too. He's just turned 20. I really recommend this product.

Have you first tried products like Neutrogena, Clearasil, etc? They have salicylic acid in them which helps to clear your pimples and eliminate them. Personally, a good one is Oil free Acne Wash by Neutrogena. If you have tried salicylic acid and it hasn't worked for you, then try something stronger like benzoyl peroxide. That's the ingredient they use in Proactiv. I have used Proactiv and it worked for a while and then just stopped and it got too expensive for a high school student, so I decided to try something else. I now use Acnefree, a product from University Medical. You can find it stores like Target, Walmart, Sam's Club, or even try a free kit, but you pay for s&h at acnefree.com. It has a three step system similar to Proactiv, only difference is there is more amount of benzoyl peroxide in Acnefree. It is very affordable, max $20. If you are starting anything with BP, make sure you start off slow to get your skin accustomed to it and then gradually increase the amount of medication on your face.
Remember that every product does not work on everybody, this worked on me but it might not work on somebody else. But the important thing is to try things out otherwise you will never find anyting that works for you.
A good home remedy is lemon juice with cucumber juice, mix it up and spread it on your face.

Screw all those answers before me. toothpaste is NOT a good answer. I have a nice home remedie that made my skin clear up a lot! What you do is take a teaspoon of ground cinnamon (dont add sugar!) and mix it with 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Lemon juice is very healthy for the skin. At first, it may burn like hell, but its sooooo worth it! (IT may burn baddddddddddddd) but it works so good. Try it and let me know how you like it. my skin sounds a lot like yours. this remedy made my face much less oily!

If you live by a mall with a Maceys in it it probably has an Origin inside of it and they have this great face wash called Checks n Balances that works wonders and if you are a little unsure then you should go online and look at it on their website. I hope that this helps!

Wash with Cetaphil, use the bar form for dry sensitive skin becuase the oily skin formula cleanser has oil in it & you don't want more oil. Then get panoxyl aqua gel 10% benzoyl peroxide cream. I have severe oily skin & this keeps my face clear from Zits.

Try tea tree oil. I use a mild moisturizer and I like to mix in a little bit of tea tree oil before I put it on my face. Tea tree oil works good as a spot treatment too. It smells quite strong at first, but the scent fades after a few minutes.

I have no acne usually, but when I do it always occurs on my chin. Toothpaste works wonders, but just as a warning: don't leave it on too long! You'll get a chemical burn and it will leave behind a nasty scab. Toothpaste always does this to me, and I've stopped using it despite how well it works.

Try a product called Ambi, Toothpaste, Noxema, and alcohol. These all can be found in your local stores
