well proactive is the best way to go but if that is too expensive then you can also go with an oral medication which is even stronger than a creme. Some medications are expensive but i think you can find one that isn't too expensive.

if your anything like me your skin gets slightly irritated by products. i may be 2 years younger than you but trust me i know what you mean! The best thing to do is scrub your face soap til its red and try to keep your face clear of black heads its usually smooth sailing from there! if it doesn't work you can always ask your pediatrician when you go for your annual check up. hope it helps!

Hello!
I have to say I have tried almost everything to get rid of acne: Creams, strips, cleaning, and all type of home made remedies, and nothing really helped to definitely get read of acne nor blackheads. I have to say that certain things that helped partially:

-Change your diet and include plenty of nutrition rich foods like fish, diary products, fruits and greens. The Omega-3 and Omega-6 present in the foods helps clear the pores of the skin and remove the secretions and dust thereby allows the skin to breath and glow.

-The biggest enemy of your face is the oily skin which gives rise to Acne formation. Therefore it should be your endeavor to always keep your face free of oil and secretions

BUT it wan?t, until a friend of mine told me how she solved her acne problem. At first sight her solution looked like one of this promises books out there about how to solve your acne problem.

As the method was 100% back guaranteed, I thought I had nothing to lose. What I did?t know it was how much I had to win with it with the step- by-step solution I got! (They say it is based on a 7 year period of trial and error). Not only did I get rid of blackheads and breakouts, but in 7 weeks I was able to get my acne cured permanently!

1 and half years later my skin has never looked better. For me it was really worth it the try.

Best of lucks!

Hi, I'm actually suffering the SAME problem as you. Fortunately my acne is quite under control now.I'll only be getting a few pimples during my 'period' and my scars are gradually diminishing. I also have always dreamed of clear good skin. But too bad for us. Acne is NOT a condition you can treat. It will reappear again and again if you don't take care of your skin properly. The only way we can do is to prevent them from reappearing.

'Prevention is better than cure'

I also need to wear makeup to cover those leftover scars. I can never leave my house without it. I just feel insecure with my flaws! So, I'm currently fine-tuning all of my skincare and cosmetics products to those that are made up of natural derivatives ingredients. I'm currently using a natural foundation formulated with beneficial ingredients for acneic skin to help cover and treat my problem too. Maybe you should try that too.

BTW, I've read before that those OTC and even prescription medications only solve your problem temporarily but they never target the root cause of it. Thus, its better if you could find a more natural solution.Just a tip, look for those with aloe vera as bases. They'll do wonders for your skin.

To find out more, you can read the posts on my personal blog:

Hope this advice helps you in a way.
Good luck!
