Have your parents take you to a dermatologist and get a prescription for Accutane.
Accutane is a miracle drug for acne.
If you are going with over the counter products I always liked before I took Accutane, anything by Neutrogena for acne.
Good luck.

In this age, you should not suffer like this. There have been fantastic improvements in skin care. With severe acne, over the counter treatments are useless. Go to your family practitioner or to a dermatologist. There are two good ways to go:
1. doxycycline (an antibiotic) and retina-a-micro.
2. accutane
This WILL cure your acne. Why wait and suffer, do it! You'll be much happier :)

you might still be going thru puberty and its only natural for you to have acne at your age...but since youre going into high school you probably want to look your best and start with a fresh new image so if it doesnt clear up you might want go to a dermatologist or ask your doctor about it. you probably need something stronger than you cant get from a store...and you should also wash your face and eat healthy...and dont pick with your face it just makes it worse.

any way you could talk to your mom about taking you to the doctor.
I have a young son and he had very back acne.
He was given an antibiotic and it cleared it up within a week.
If your family doctor cannot help or wont help ask for a referal to a dermatologist!

Try new Noxzema Triple Clean. It cleans your face without making
it feel tight and dry. It has salicylic acid, which is known for fighting
acne.
But don't go out and buy it. Try it out first by getting a free
1 oz. sample tube at http://snurl.com/noxzematripleclean

okay well first off yes all of those things did probably start to work but one thing that you need to know is that your skin becomes immune to many of those popular treatments and what you should do is contact a dermatologist before trying anything else!

Go to a dermatologist, they can prescribe Accutane, should work, some side effects though, but you should consider.

I use CLINIUQE ... :)
You are in 8th grade... it is normal that you have acne .... wait few years, and do not worry :)
