African black soap+ coconut oil.  Staying natural helped me. Had horrible acne/scars in the past from using traditional stuff.

I've been battling varying degrees of acne for about 7 years now. After a lot of trial and error and Accutane i've been slowly ridding it from my life.

First, lower you intake of milk and carbs. Be persistent! Change takes time.
STOP washing your face often. Wash it once a day maximum, trust me, the cleansers will only make it worse.
Are you using Benzoyl peroxide? If not, get some. Apply it at night (ONLY) and don't overdo it.
If it's cystic acne (acne with no head, just a bump), you'll want to look into Accutane.
Wash your towels and pillow sheets twice a week.
Drink a LOT of water, and run for 20 minutes (at least) every day.

How old are you? Are you overweight? Smoke E-Cigarettes? Use energy drinks/5 hour?
The more info, the better I can help you.

Shoot me a :pm: with an email address if you're looking for more info. I don't have permission to send PM's anymore.

This + exfoliation a couple of times a week.

For years, my mother recommended I use her African black soap, but I kept declining her offer and justified it because I didn't think traditional methods would work ("how could my old-school African mother possibly know more than these smarty pants American scientists and manufacturers? :rolleyes:"). I changed my methods up about 5 months ago, took her advice, and saw a lot of improvement.

Proper diet, exercise, and lots of water also play a large role.

Lucky for you man.

One thing I will say is acne is a sign that the body is cleansing itself of harmful toxins. I haven't yet researched it, but i've heard word that acne sufferers tend to have a better time warding off disease into old age.

I used to get about 5 new pimples a day. Now my face is completely clear. How did I do it? Vitamin A.

Look up studies of high dose courses of vitamin A. It is literally the closest thing to a cure you will find and it is very closely related to accutane on a chemical level.

You'll need to take about 100,000 IU of vitamin A a day. Can cause birth defects if you're pregnant, so if you're female take with BC.

If you smoke cigarettes stop smoking and wash your face.

I grew out of acne. I had it from the ages of 14-22. These past 4 years I haven't had more than 1 zit, so there is hope. Most people grow out of it.

What I found helped the most was sun and salt water. I'd wash my face with salt water if there was no ocean to jump into. The sun worked miracles though. If your in a cold climate you could try a tanning bed, they work too. You only need about 10-12 mins in the tanning bed every week. Do the 10-12 in one session tho. Shouldn't hurt your skin much but will help acne.

Also wash your hands a lot and avoid touching your face. :thumbup:

Accutane was an absolute lifesaver for me.  I had horrible acne all over my body before that.  I tried everything else and nothing worked.  I took Accutane for 3.5 months and I barely get a pimple nowadays.

I used to have really bad acne when I was in junior high. I guess it was just puberty because I grew out of it. I had a hard time getting rid of it, I even used special cream that I got from the doctor and it didn't work. I just quit worrying about it and it eventually went away on it's own. That is just my experience, I know some people have a hard time fighting it. Acne is a bitch to get rid of.

I got some stuff for my work mate. She's 19 and has had acne for a few years I think. The type of acne where the doctors give you strong medication for. It makes her worse.

She has bumps and scars and white heads. Obv she wears make up for self asteem, but its a vicious cycle. Anyways after some research I bought her a Johnson & Johnson Purpose bar, Dr. Bronners unscented soap bar and some rosehip oil. If the purpose bar is too harsh she can moisturise with the oil, or just switch to the bronners. :sun:

Went to the doc for the first time in a long time last week, he took one look at my back and then wrote me a 3 month script for (antibiotic) tetracycline... It is working incredible, way better than the $70 prescription gel I tried before.

Not just my back is clearing up, but my face is 100% zit free and I've just started taking it.

Getting enough sleep and drinking a lot of water helps too.
