I have acne mostly on my cheeks and wanted to know good products to reduce the bumps. I have noxzema and equate facial scrubs and face wash. Anyone know any better brands that worked for you?

I have acne on my cheeks mostly as well.
The only thing that has really helped me is going to the dermatologist. It's a lot of money and stuff but it's totally worth it! I've tried lots and lots of drugstore products but nothing has done it for me. It may help you but didn me. If you can, visit one.

Thanks! I think I might try the acne system tablets. I've heard accutane has many side effects, I would be too scared to even try😳.

To get rid of acne, benzoyl peroxide is your best bet. It is by far the most researched and best working ingredient for fighting acne and getting rid of pimples, it works by drying them out and killing the bacteria.
Find a cleanser and toner with benzoyl peroxide in it, and use it twice a day. This will help you keep your skin free of bacteria to prevent acne while working to fight it aswell. It will dry out your skin though so make sure you find a good oil free moisturizer to replenish your skins nutrients and avoid excess oil production, which may clog your pores and counteract the acne fighting agents you're using.
Tea tree oil is an absolutely amazing acne fighter, and I love using it as a spot treatment. I suggest getting an actual tea tree oil spot treatment as apposed to just using the oil because it has other ingredients which will help it be more effective. I love grease lightning by the body shop! Using this after your toner and before your moisturizer is great to speed up the process in getting rid of acne.
You can also be sure to keep your hair out of your face and keep it clean, the grease from your hair can sometimes clog your pores.
Make sure you're using oil free makeup, or even better mineral powder only, and clean your brushes in between uses.
Basically just keep everything clean!
I would also suggest trying RED LIGHT, if you'd like more info on it.
