my son has been using pine tar soap for a lil over a month now. it has really helped clear it up. he had it really bad. huge sores on his face, back and some on his arms and chest. you can get it thru your pharmacy. it costs about $4 a bar and a bar can last 3-4 wks.

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.
If you would like to learn how to treat your acne permanently and regain your health and wellbeing, without drugs, without typical acne treatments, and without any side effects, then this will be the most important letter you will ever read.

ProActiv is still the best thing on the market. I don't know what your routine for cleanliness is, but cleanliness is a very important factor.
If all else fails, you will eventually grow out of it, though it may take a few years, and leave some scars. But if you go to movies much, and you see close-ups of tommy Lee Jones, you will see a face that is heavily pock-marked: and he is still a sex god. So, whether you can lick it now or not, there is hope in your future.

ProActiv works really well. I'm not a constant user of it but when I start to get too many red bumps it seems like after one use they aren't as visible. I read someone that if you touch your face with your hands a lot it increases breakouts because of the oil on your hands. I'd say try Proactiv.

have you try dermatalogist? Your skin type may be different from other, and many expensive acne product may not work. Like my skin, i have been trying to use many acne product and it does not work because every person skin is delicated at first, but when you use many product in a short amount of time it changes. however, if you visit a dermatalogist, they can check your skin type and recommend uselful acne product for you.

did you use those products for a short amount of time? cause if you did then they wouldnt be that effective... anyway just try to wash your face whenever it gets oily or sweaty and also before you sleep.... if nothing happens then consult a dermatologist...
