I started using Clean & Clear products but it only got some of the acne to go away. There is this amazing face mask called Queen Helenes. I use it twice a week. You can even use it for spot treatments. It minimizes pores, gets rid of blackheads, and gets rid of acne. Heres the website for it...

I just got Zeno and I love it if the mask doesnt work get Zeno Acne Clearing Device. Its amazing. It only works on pimples though not blackheads. If you dont like it or it doesnt work for you, you can return it within 30 days. Heres the website for it...

Proactiv Refining Mask is also great. It clears acne and blackheads fast and you can use it as a spot treatment. Heres the website...

I really hope this helps acne is no fun at all I hate it!!! Dont get Acne Free or Proactiv because its harsh and doesnt work. It made my face peel which was no fun at all.

Ok the person who answered this before me is an idiot. You can't tell someone in detail what to do. I've had people say that washing their face with a mild face wash works, and I've had people say that toothpaste works. Neither worked for ME, however. My best advice would be to first of all, get plenty of rest every night, improve your diet (although there is no scientific evidence that eating better improves your complexion, staying away from greasy foods and oil-based foods does help).. don't touch your face because the oils on your hands and fingers will transfer to your face.

Second, go to a doctor. The doctor or dermatologist will know what is best for you. I've been on tetracycline, clymadycine, etc. Right now, I use BenzaClin twice a day with a mild, non-medicated Dove face wash. Dove is always the best, in my opinion. As far as I know about acne, Benzaclin has worked the best for me. ProActive did not work for me, but I have met people who it did work for. I think it's a waste of money, however, and it takes months to even show any improvement. So my basis of this is to just go to the doctor and get his/her advice.

Put gel toothpaste on your acne. For me, it works better than any acne cream. It may burn slightly, but if you put it on at night before bed, you will find it much better in the morning. As far as ProActive, I've heard it works very well, but have no firsthand knowledge. And it does get better with age, but it never stops happening. I'm 32 and have one sometimes, but a little toothpaste and voila! Better! Hope it helps!

You won't get ride of your acne to night or tomorow love! you just waisting your time by triying everyting and everything.my best advice will be to go see your gp who will refer you to an dermatologist and tell him that you wanna be on pills.this is the best stuff to treat acne cause it will treat you by the inside.your acne will never go if you treat it only by the outside,it will keep on coming back.but by the time you'll see an dermatologist,try freederm,it's new and it really work,there is the lotion and the cream and it's not dat expensive ,u can find it at boots.i had a really bad acne myself,i've been on pills and now it's all gone.you just have to be patient and it will clear up i can promess u that.i wish u good luck and don't waist any time anymore,go to see ur gp...

There is that stuff... I can't think of what it's called... it's a pill and a cream that you can buy over the counter at the drugstores. It's all natural and it does work. I had acne on my face though. I believe they make some for the body.

I used to use Pro-Active and I had good luck with it, but I decided to use something else because it got to be expensive. I've been using for awhile St.Ives Medicated Scrub and it works pretty well. It has Salicycic Acid in it and you can usually feel it working. Good luck in finding something that works. Everyone has there own opinions, you just have to find something that works for you personally.

i answered this same question just yesterday, for someone. i don't know if they believed me or not, but i am dead serious. the more vinegar you can ingest, the better off you will be. try putting it on your french fries instead of the horrible red stuff most people are so fond of. and cut up some cucumbers and put them in a bowl with a little vinegar. it really works.
