I'm 23 and still get some horrible nasty zits on my forehead, and now even starting on my chin and nose, which I never had has a teenager. I NEVER have a fully clear face. I use an anti bacterial/oily skin facewash 1-2 times a day and use a gentle exfoliator daily. What can I do? This is ridiculous!

Contact the medical practitioner who owns a great website full of accurate and useful information about all sorts of skin problems. The website address is:
http://www.romancing-the-soap.com
I did write to the author and then bought 2 special soaps for a friend of mine who suffered from a combination of rosacea and acne. Within a week, my friend noticed a big difference, hardly any problem left with her skin now. The 2 soaps cost me less than $17, including shipping (USA). My friend is absolutely thrilled and she wants to stock up on these soaps. Check out the website, and contact the owner if you do decide to try the products. I know you will not be sorry!

At this point, see a dermatologist & consider using Retin-A or Differin gel. I had acne as a teen & as an adult. These prescription products made a big difference. I switched from Retin-A to Differin because Retin-A was a little hard on my skin.
Here are some links about adult acne: http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/Acne/features/adult-acne

i'm also 23 and i have terrible acne. i use this exfoliating cleanser called pernox. it worked really well at first, but it has since run out of juice i think. then again, i have AWFUL skin. pernox is pretty intense, i got it at walgreen's. you should give it a shot. good luck!

Apply slices of tomato on your skin,the pulp of the tomato has astringent properties which can prevent acne. I came across a lot of simple and natural remedies for treating and preventing acne at http://acxe.info

hon, maybe you're overwashing? I think you're only supposed to exfoliate every other day at most & I guess the facewash is okay. Hmm.....sorry I can't help more!
good luck! :)
