Icing your face every morning and night after you wash it will help a lot. Just run an ice cube over it for a minute before you put on your moisturizer. You'll see a big improvement and if you continue to do it, your acne should not come back. Also, wash your face with cool water -- not hot.

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.

My boyfriend says to get Pure Benzoyl Peroxide. It's cheap. It's what kills the stuff and gets rid of acne. It's in a lot of acne treatments, including ProActive. Good Luck. [:

its a matter of cleaning your pores, which can be difficult without spending some $ try cooking bacon and then applying the grease to your face on and off for about 5 minutes, then rinse with water

if you already have some facewash...use that and just some light moisturizer that doesn't weigh your face down. once in a while steam your face...stand about 10-12 inches away from a steaming/boiling pot of water or get hot towels and and just lay them over your face...this will clean out your pores.

well you could try rubbing raw egg goo (not the yolk) on your face and leave it on for about 3 minutes and then wash off.it used to work for me...but before you do put a warm wash cloth on your face to open the pores.

don't eat greasy foods, don't touch your face without washing your hands, use soap on your face daily, shower daily, keep your hair away from your face, and try to find a way to keep your face constantly dry. it dries out the zits.
