If stuff you have tried irritated it more, maybe you should try a natural approach that won’t cause irritation or dryness…
Wash with a natural soap two or three times a day. (mix in a tablespoon of baking soda while washing your face once a week to exfoliate)
Wipe with witch hazel to control bacteria that is associated with acne.
Touch up dry areas with a thin vegetable oil such as olive or sunflower. Wipe off any excess after 10 minutes.
Done. Easy. Effective. Simple. Cheap. Non-Irritating.

ProActive worked the best for me … but I stopped using it because it completely ruined my $100 sheets!! Big bleach spots all over from the peroxide. So P-Oed!!
Honestly, it’s all trial & error. You have to keep trying until you find one that works for you … but you have to use it for at least a month for your skin to get acclimated to it.

Hmm, well the thing is, if you stop acne coming out now, your gonna get it when your about 60. And its worse. My nan has it really bad cause she put vinegar on it to make it go away. Most vinegars now wont clear acne anymore.
I’m in my late teens, & I still have it. I’m just leaving it alone, cause most treatments only irritate it, & make it worse. I hate acne too, but its a part of like [a very uglee part] but just let it be & it will clear up.
It depends on your skin type. You said you ahve sensitive skin, so sensitive skin wont tolerate many treaments. Believe my I’ve got sensitive skin & tried everything available.

What the skin needs is a product that clears pores & kills bacteria, thus preventing hair follicles from clogging & turning into acne. This is what you should be looking for if you want to get rid of those ugly acne.
Before trying any treatment, I suggest you read this informational source that listed the most effective acne treatments available:

Proactiv worked for me, but it doesn’t for everybody. It is worth a try though & I believe that have a trial available.

For me, Retin-A Micro & Duac Topical Gel have worked wonders. They can be perscribed to you by your dermatologist. If theres one thing I’ve found out through trial & error it’s that regular over the counter do not work at all. I would suggest taking a trip to the local dermatologist to get things under wraps. Besides, insurance pays for almost all of it & by seeing a professional, you get the best product. I tell you this from experience. Good Luck!

Drink lots of water, do lots of cardio, don’t pick or touch your face, can just wash it with water as its most gentle

well i cleanse, tone & moisturize my skin once daily & i think it helps me…and i use a scrub once every 15 days…eat right…exercise…that’s what everyone says…but if you go to a beauty salon or something like that, they’ll tell you what’ll be best for you…
all the best!

Okay well I think Clearasil Ultra works really well. There is a face wash, toner, moisturizing lotion (great for sensitive/dry skin) & a quick pimple remover cream. The great part is, it all rubs in so you are not stuck with goop all over your face! I am in my early teens as well, & that works really well. I also use Neutrogena Exfoliating facewash in the morning with an oil-free acne clearing moisturizer. This keeps my skin toned, oil free & moist so my acne treatments don’t irritate my skin. Best of luck to you & feel free to mail me if u have any questions
