Have acne all over my face and I'm only 13! I have some big one and really small ones on my forehead. I have a 5 acne spots in my left cheek that never used to be there and a big pimple right near my mouth. I am self conscious and I hate having to put up with the fact that all the people in my class have clear skin. Please help! I really need to find a way to get rid if acne.

You should see a dermatologist. The acne will go away, but the scars they leave behind won't. I had very bad skin when I was younger, and I went to see a dermatologist and he put me on Roaccutane. I'm sure if you explain to your parents how bad the acne makes you feel, they will gladly take you to see someone so you can have nice clear skin.

Don't forget to wash your pillows!! Since the acne is only on one cheek, then maybe it's because of your pillows.

I agree that a derm is an excellent idea. If that's not an option I would use a cleanser with tea tree oil in it and alternate that with something gentle like Cetaphil. Bare Minerals makes an excellent natural spot treatment that lightly conceals called blemish therapy. Be mindful to not over dry your skin so drinking water and using a clinque moisturizer is a good idea. Clinique has many cosmetics for sensitive and acne prone skin. Avoid paraben rich products that may clog your pores. Hope that helps!

I seriously recommend this to everyone but its just so amazing it's called Acnefree you can get it like at Walmart or target it's around 17 dollars. It's a 3 step system and its basically like proactive. You can get it in a range of different packages there's sensitive, severe and the normal one! I use the severe because I like the 10% benzoyl peroxide. The first couple weeks it will start drying your face out like a lot (this is for the severe one) but after like say 1 and a half months it'll cool down I use Cerave and even Vaseline if I need it for bad days but its such an amazing product check it out 😊
