I am 24 and I still have spots and all that I have an horrible skin I can't even wear any tops that show my back or my shoulders as it is there is well. I am very complexed about it and I never go out without make up not even to the corner shop. I don't have so much spot on my face is more black head and big big big pores.
Thank you very much for your help.

I have been on the pill for 8 years.
I tried benzoyl peroxide gel for about 5 years.
I use Dermalogica's gentle daily rice exfoliante and Molton Brown's skin fresh cleanser and my skin is already much better. my back is my real problem.
Clinic product are much to agressive for my skin.

I would suggest you take a hormone balancing herb like agnus castus, along with some general suppliments like b vitamins, zinc, iron and magnesium and have plenty of vitc in your diet too. Stay away from certain seafood like prawns and other shellfish as they contain iodine which can affect the skin and dilate pores. I think you have a hormone imbalance, and the stress of having bad skin can make you feel even worse, as hormone imbalances can make you irritable anyway. I would also recommend trying not to over scrub your skin even though tempting, and just have an exfoliating session once a week then apply a good non clogging light moisturiser.Over scrubbing can actually dry your skin and although it seems really oily its actually a red herring as its over producing oil because it is dry. I hope ive help a bit anyway.xxx

I honestly find the simple methods, the most effective. Get a decent face wash, one that works well with your skin. Figure out what skin type you have and go from there. Wash morning and night, without fail and always remove all traces of makeup if you wear any. Get a moisturiser for day, and a night cream. Moisturise your face morning and night after cleansing. Exfoliate once a week but be gentle. Face mask once a week to a fortnight. And to use directly on spots, antibacterial creams such as sudocrem, savlon or germaline work great on spots. A dab of perfume on them (as long as the spot is not open ie from picking *dont pick!*) on the spot will also help dry it up, make it smaller and reduce redness without drying the skin around it. Just dont use much. I personally find acne treatments are far too harsh on the skin. It may get rid of acne, but your skin gets so so dry, and sometimes acne treatments have left my spots even more inflamed. It must just depend on the skin type.

Right now my skin is perfectly clear, for the first time in 3 years. It's been about 9 weeks and all my acne is gone. It is such a great feeling to wake up with clear skin.

I had exactly the same problem and felt the same as you, but I went to the doctor and he prescribed the contraceptive pill called Dianette and I also use Clinique 3 step skin program thingy. In addition I exfoliate twice a week. It took about a year but now I get compliments on what lovely skin I have and it's hard for me to believe since my skin was so terrible before. The Clinique stuff is expensive, but it is so worth it, but I think the pill was the key

Look into getting on birth control pills. Not only do they make the periods regular, they help control cramps and diminish acne.
I also recommend the "buff puff" to exfoliate the skin, 10% benzoil peroxide cream, and a moisturizer or cleanser with salycylic (sp?) acid.

Clearasil do a black head remover and all over body wash which are fantastic. Clinique do a pore minimiser range which is also fantastic! Try a combination of these and you'll be spot free! Good luck!

I had similar problems, tried every skin lotion and potion there is, but got a total cure in 8 weeks when I changed my diet, cutting out dairy, yeast, pork and alcohol. Try it, supervised by a nutritionist, what have you got to lose?

Go to a dermatologist. They might put you on accutane which is a really intense acne med, but it's like a miracle drug.
