the teens on my soccer team apply a THIN layer of neosporin (or store-brand thereof) at night after washing their faces, Seems to work. I still (even at MY age!) get one or two blemishes a month (adult acne or roseacea) and have started using it. Works for me. Works for the 17 yr olds.

Neosporin, really?! Wow, that's interesting.

well, I went ahead to the dermatologist and right off, she said that I had severe acne and she was definitely puting me on accutane, so I start in about a month from now. I've read about all the side effects, and I and my doctor are confident that it will help me! I'm pretty excited about it!!!

I'll keep you all posted!

You should definitely visit the dermatologist before you spend any more money on over-the-counter products.

I never had any major acne problems but I would just like to put in my 2 cents. I found that when i wore makeup or used acne treatments that the acne did get worse. So I found the best treatment for me was the just wash my face once a day (yes, just once. more would dry my skin to much) with plain old soap and water, while u are in the shower is fine. Then don't wear makeup(or very, very little. I find that foundations are the worse culprit). And a little astringent for my oily nose was all i needed. Now I only suffer with the occasional period induced pimple.

Make sure you try flouride toothpaste. Also, might try rubbing alcohol.

Try Vitamin E, buy a bottle of Vitamin E capsuls, and stick a pin in a capsul and squeeze the vitamin substance out of it, and apply it to ur face, where needed. (Do this AFTER washing your face)
And drink less pop/sodas/juices, and drink water.--chocolate is also bad for you.
