ok so im a 13 year old girl ad i have a ton of acne on my face. my mom won't let me get proactive or anything like that cuz she says its just a stage im going through...and ive been going through it for 2 years now. i am currently using neutrogena deep clean gentle scrub [[oil free]] and immediatly after i use the neutrogena, i use something called dermalogica. its one of those 3 step things. i stopped using the neutrogena, and my skin still stayed the same. im afraid if i stop using the dermalogica it wil be like proactive, and everything will get worse. i have sidebangs, and wear my hair down a lot. it's not oily, just kind of thick. i hate pinning my bangs up because of the acne. HELP.

Home Treatment


Treatment at home can help reduce acne flare-ups.

Wash your face (or other affected skin) gently once or twice a day.
Do not squeeze pimples, because that often leads to infections, worse acne, and scars.
Use water-based skin care products that gently clean your skin. Avoid products such as milky cleansers, cold creams, lipsticks, and lip glosses that contain oils.
Use nonprescription medicated creams, soaps, lotions, and gels to treat your acne. Always read the label carefully to make sure you are using the product correctly.
Examples of some nonprescription products used to treat acne include:

Benzoyl peroxide (Benoxyl, Benzac, Clearasil), which unplugs pores.
Alpha-hydroxy acid, which dries up blemishes and causes the top skin layer to peel. You'll find alpha-hydroxy acid in moisturizers, cleansers, eye creams, and sunscreens.
Salicylic acid (Clearasil, Propa pH, Stri-Dex), which dries up blemishes and causes the top skin layer to peel.
Tea tree oil, which kills bacteria. You'll find tea tree oil in gels, creams, and oils.
Other products that may help your overall skin condition include skin pore-cleaning strips. When you peel off these bandagelike strips from your skin, dirt and makeup stick to the strip.

You'll have better results if you follow the directions for using topical medications. If you use a product too often, acne can get worse.


Also I know that when I drink a lot of water and stay hydrated my face stays acne free.

If you acne is severe ask your mom to take you to the docs office for antibiotic therapy to help clear it up. Acne is caused by the staph bacteria as well as the dirt and oil that build up with the bacteria so consider asking to see your family doc.

Go to a dermatologist. They know what works on your skin. They can give you a special face wash or creme to help get rid of the acne.

Neutrogena is good for acne, but if it's really severe, you should be seeing a doctor. They have better products that can control acne better.

1. Mix 1/4 cup of brown sugar with 3tbsp. milk until it forms a paste.
