stop eating overprocessed garbage.

try an all natural diet.

stop using so many artificial chemicals to fix these symptoms. you need to regain the natural balance we all should have by default.

Crush aspirin and make into a paste. Dab on blemishes before bed and let sit overnight. Wash off in the morning. That will help a great deal.

Witch Hazel and/or Hydrogen Peroxide. We tried apple cider vinegar on my teen's back, it helped with calming the swelling and redness.

Dab on a little 100% Tea Tree Oil (available in most drug stores for a few bucks) to the effected areas with a q-tip. I do it at night before bed, and most times a pimple will be almost gone by morning.

Tea Tree Oil is an excellent natural anti-bacterial and will dry out the pimple.

start consuming more anti-oxidant rich liquids and food. get some true lemon and put it in your water. drink as much water as you can to flush the toxins out. try bentonite clay on your face. exercise until you sweat to improve circulation. avoid too much sugar.

either all of that, or grow older if you're a teenager to skip the hormonal components. if you're older, do the above and/or get some salycyclic acid treatment

Been a long time but remember well my cure..

About 17 I started to have a major problem.. I tried everything off the shelf at the drug store to help..

I washed my bedding about once a week and always noticed that a few days after fresh bedding,, I started to clear up..

So from that point onward I not only changed my pillow case every other day but washed my hair more often,.,

After about 2 months I was clear and clean..

Good luck,,

Natural honey (not the sugared kind you buy at a grocery store) but real honey, like from a farmer's market. You just dab it on. it's got natural medicinal properties.

Preferably Manuka Honey.

salicylic acid powder

you can buy it from a chemistry supply place

you make a mask and apply it

you can add some ascorbic acid as a exfoliant ...not too much, and wash it off if it starts to burn

start with a light amount first

then use hyaluronic acid (pure, from a supplier) to add moisture and nourish the skin

avoid nearly every thing out there that is a cream...full of chemicals that only clog up your pores even worse

Ok..

This is what got me through years and years of bad acne.

Before bed, clean your face with hot water and soap. Pop any zits that need popping, ignore those who tell you not to pop them. Pop them and clean them out.

Clean face with rubbing alcohol and cotton balls.

Cover face with Clearasil (the white stuff only, the skin colored stuff does not work as well) Leave a light layer of the stuff on your face and let it dry like a mask. Leave it alone after that

Go to sleep.

Your acne will be better every night you do this. I had serious bad acne in high school and this was the ONLY way I Kept it under control.

For my teenage sons:

wash face twice a dayt (first thing in the morning and again before bed) with AVEENO Clear Complexion Cream Cleanser.

[link to www.drugstore.com]

They started using it and within a couple of days their skin started to clear up. Works better than the proactiv that one of them was using.

1)before bed wash face, then wash it again but let the soap dry..leave it on all night

2)lava soap, use the bar directly on the skin BE CAREFUL don't overdo it, and no more than twice a week, it literally sands away the top dermnal layer and the sebum does not clog the pores

A sprig of rosemary steeped in apple cider vinegar for 10 days, shake often. Then just apply with a cotton ball. Preferably before bed, because it smells terrible! Works though.
