Lemon juice-reduces scarring and tightens pores.
Exfoliate once a day-removes dead skin and dirt
Remove makeup before bed
Find a good cleanser, there's tons. Need to find one that works for you. If you have red marks and a red complexion, use an oatmeal face scrub.

Get the acne free system!! It will clear up your skin so well and make it smooth. And use a lot of the step 3 that's what cleared up my skin!

Stop drinking milk and other dairy products, that cleared my skin better than any product.

You can try some products from the drugstore, but if you want better results I would highly recommend you go to see a dermatologist.

The acne spot treatment will literally get rid if your acne after a day or two. You just apply it 3 times a day and you'll be able to see the difference. Also, clean and clear acne scrub is amazing. Just use it in the morning ad night on the areas you have acne. :))

I suffered for 14 years and finally got a dermatologist. She told me to stay away from salicylic acid ingredients and instead focus on face wash w BENZOYL PEROXIDE. Kills the bacteria. Clean and clear makes one called Clear Pore cleanser/mask and OXY also has one smells so good and it's a newer product. I found a cleanser made by EQUATE from Walmart that compares to proactive cleanser. I also take a doxycycline pill everyday and use clindamycin topical solution (prescription) the clindamycin and doxycycline are both prescriptions but w those 3products my skin is finally clear! What a difference! I used to use Murad (pricey) and tried Many other items. The clindamycin smells like rubbing alcohol and is fun to use as it looks a bit like a bingo dobber. As far as foods...consuming tomatoes and Brazil nuts can help clear things up o and also drinking lots of water will make a big difference. Remember the skin is the largest organ of the human body we must keep it hydrated :) hope this helps.

Well I cut soda out of my life... That's asking for a lot lol but I don't get outbreaks anymore and I use Burt Bees acne treatment; its very gentle and natural ingredients. You can get it at any store I get mine from Walmart and it runs you for about 12 bucks. Wash your face while in the shower and before bedtime if you have a pop up zit rub Burt bees on there and go to bed. I love that stuff!!

Try Clinique acne solutions 3step and see a dermatoligist if your acne doesn't improve; you may need antibiotics or special treatment :)

It's pricey but the only thing that has helped my acne enough to where its almost gone for good is the Clarisonic. I've only been using it for a month roughly and it's worked miracles already. The best $150 I've ever spent. I wish I had tried it sooner because then I wouldn't have wasted anymore money on products that didn't work. But another thing I liked that did help before I got the Clarisonic is Philosophy's acne line called Clear Days Ahead. The treatment lotion and the spot treatment together helped a lot. The cleanser is decent but after a while I stopped buying it because it was just a cleanser, it wasn't really doing anything for the acne. So I switched to Purity Made Simple and still use that now instead.

Ok so as a acne sufferer ( strangely only on my forehead ) I had acne everywhere on my forehead after some Internet research I came up with the three foods to stay away from - dairy products chocolate and alcohol so I stayed away from those I also jogged for thirty minutes a day last thing I did was a realized I was using the wrong cleanser one that contained stylistic acid ( it made my skin real dry an didnt improve my ache ) so I switched to a plain dove soap bar and equate moisturizer I got tremendous results!!

Try taking clindamycin 300 mg 3x/day for 3-5 days. helped me this week coz I've been breaking out lately:( also try using the queen helene mint julep face mask. its really cheap and effective. its used for drying out pimples, removing blackheads and whiteheads and mostly for tightening pores :) you can google reviews about it thru google:) hope this helps!

I agree w/ Emily D. Lemon Juice is a good solution. You could also use hydrogen-peroxide. When I notice my face braking out I always turn to peroxide for the fastest result... P.S. don't do it everyday... It makes your skin dry... So use it one every other day and use a good moisturizer so your skin does not dry out. ;) good luck girly

I'm in the same boat, I get terrible breakouts and nothing has seemed to clear it. I've cut out fizzy drinks, hardly drink alcohol and eat relatively healthy (hardly ever have take out) and clean my face twice a day, nothing seems to work, hoping some of these comments may help!

Dab vinegar on your pimples. leave on for a few minutes 2-4 (plug your nose for the smell) then wash off either with soap and water or a simple facial scrub. yes it works amazingly and it's even reduced the number of breakouts I get

Hope this will help, go organic, skip oily and fatty food, save fruit skin peels keep it in your fridge and apply as a facial mask -of course you should consume those peels 3-4 days or else they'll just rot inside the fridge. hydrate yourself with water -skip sodas, and caffeine.
