when you wash your face it removes all the oils from your face,so you body will naturally create more oil to moisturize your face, what you must do is find some oil free moisturizer and apply that right after you dry your face from washing it and that will prevent your skin from getting oily therefore no more acne and it will also help get rid of the ugly scars that the pimples have left

Ok do this and your problems will be gone.
A. Go to a good demotologist
B. Get a prescription for Ampicillin Cap 500 MG - and take it religiously. I think it's twice a day.
C. Also get a prescription for Retin-A Micro (this is a topical)
D. Glacerin soap, and wash your face three times a day.
If you do the above, you'll have a clear face in no time. My son also struggled with acne and he probably has 2 pimples on his face now...several months ago, he had probably 30 or so.
Good Luck.

Duac cream is very very good.
"Duac Topical Gel is used to treat inflammatory acne. Although Duac Topical Gel is safe, side effects may include redness, peeling, burning, and dryness"
You may probally need subscription. Until then do not pick/scratch your spots, Use warm water with soap to wash your face at least twice a day. Use oil free moisturisers and stay away from anything that will irritate your face.
http://www.duacgel.com/
There is a 2 in 1 action for this cream, unlike Clearasil.
The website also provides the causes and cures for acne.

You'll need the following:
1. A cleanser
2. Acne medicine
3. A moisturizer (preferably with SPF of 15)
Make sure that any product you put on your face is non-comedogenic, i.e. it won't clog your pores. Wash your face morning and night, and follow that with the acne medicine. There are two main acne ingredients over-the-counter: salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. It might take some experimenting from you to figure out which ingredient works best for you. After applying the zit cream, wait about 15 minutes or so for it to sink in, then apply the moisturizer. The moisturizer is important because the zit cream will dry out your skin, and when that happens, the skin begins to produce more oil to counter it, therefore causing more zits. The sunscreen in the moisturizer is important because acne medicine can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
There are also some new products with sulfur on the market now that you might find worth a try.
At then end of the day, finding the right products to treat your acne is all trial and error. Stick to a routine and be consistent with it, and if you don't see results, try something else. But give whatever you're working with a chance to do it's job.
And drink lots of water and do some research on the internal problems in our bodies that can cause acne. Good luck.

My daughter in law had problems with acne and was buying the famous stuff on television--it worked, she just couldn't afford to keep buying it. Someone told her to buy a box of epsom salts at wal-mart, pour some in her hand, moisten it, pat it on her
face, leave it on a few minutes, and wash it off; she was told to do this nightly. She did, and it works just as well. Her face is clear, just like she was using the expensive set of acne stuff off TV!!!

go to a dermatologists together with your mom. Let your mom accompany you so you wouldn't be embarrassed on your own. If you tried on your own and nothing works, let others help you, like hearing the advice of a dermatologists. Dont be ashamed to go there. Just go. Remember your not the only one having it.
Good luck and God bless.
