If you're using products that contain ingredients that might cause irritation, dryness, or blemishes (ie alcohol, wax, dyes, chemicals, fragrances, acetone, or mineral oil) you may want to stop. Also, do not overly wash your face or scrub as this spreads acne.
It's important to first understand acne so that you can properly treat it. It effects people of all ages and is not caused by poor hygiene, diet, or stress, but rather is the result of overactive hormones. Arbonne has a great Clear Advantage line specifically designed to treat acne. The four step system includes a dietary supplement to support skin from the inside out that works to target troubled skin with vitamins, minerals and L-Lysine, an amino acid, wash, toner, and lotion. The wash is a deep-cleaning wash that unclogs pores, while keeping outbreaks under control with acne-fighting salicylic acid that prevents new blemishes, without drying your skin. The toner is blended with Alpha Hydroxy Acids to help balance and calm skin, removing excess oils leaving the skin clean, soothed, and refreshed. The oil-free lotion penetrates pores to combat blemish-causing bacteria, while soothing and clarifying skin.
All of Arbonne's products are pure, safe, and beneficial and formulated with natural botanicals. Arbonne's products do not contain alcohol, wax, dyes, chemicals, fragrances, acetone, or mineral oil that are known to cause irritation and dryness, so you can be sure that you're using a natural products with key ingredients for maximum benefit. You can save 35% and purchase the entire set for only $43. If you're interested in learning more, I'll be happy to help you.

to clear your complexion..
raw unpasteurized apple cider vinegar
heat a qt of water, add 3 tblspns vinegar, make a tent over the pot, cover your head with a towel, steam your face. then dab some vinegar on your skin to clean, do this process 2 more times, then squeeze the blackheads. mix 1/2 water, 1/2 vinegar, chilled, dab on face to close pores and tone skin....
as a skin care routine,
raw unpasturized apple cider vinegar..
the following 2 testimonials can be seen at http://www.earthclinic.com/cures/acne.ht...
Angelina O, has found that applying ACV topically to her face several times a day (4 or more times) has cured her of a "very bad complexion". She reports that she applies it straight and that while it burns her skin a bit, it still works like a miracle!
you can get it at the health food store, or in some super marktet health food sections. i use bragg vinegar..
good luck
Cheryl writes, "My daughter developed a case of moderate acne, and after trying a number of different things for over a year which helped very little or not at all, she started drinking 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar three times a day and applying it topically once at night. She has been acne free for two months. It took about three weeks to clear up."
to drink it, put it in honey and water, or apple juice--tastes like cider..cost is 5 dollars a qt at the healthfood store

I have struggled with this problem as well. I use Differen cream twice daily and Tetracycline. My doctor prescribed them and they work well together. The Differen is a gentler form of Retin - A which helps exfoliate the skin, and the Tetracycline is an antibiotic that helps get rid of bacteria. I've told others about it and they have been happy. You might want to give it a try.

Drink 2 T. of Braggs raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar daily in a glass of water. You'll start to notice results in a couple of weeks. It tastes bad, but is worth it! See links below for complete instructions. I do this every day with excellent results! In addition, you can rub the apple cider vinegar over your face like a toner. It does sting a little, but that's normal.
