lets trying using a source more for acne click
think about it , do you think that eating junk food and processed foods like (mcdonalds, wendys, in n out kfc) will make your face and skin look better? What you put on the inside greatly affects on your appearance outside, not only on your skin but on the waist also.
So your telling me eating vegetables and whole foods in which our bodies were naturally intended to get will NOT help out?
Its up to you guys,
Eat somewhat healthier
add some vegetables and whole foods in diet
drink lots of water
go to the sauna to clean out your pores
wash your face morning and night with wash that has salicylic acid
Use a moisturizer
You will get a pimple every now and then but for those use benzyol peroxide and or mint julep to dry it out

I've been battling acne since I was 11 years old. I am now 24 and I still have acne. My face used to be horrible, I tried everything. Then in 2006, I started using Clearasil Ultra. I use the face scrub in the shower and the face pads when I get out of the shower. I also use it immediately after shaving. It's best to use the scrub in the shower because the constant flow of hot water opens your pores and gives you a much deeper clean than standing at the sink. This has been the ONLY thing that has worked for me. You need to use Clearasil Ultra at least once a day everyday and the most important thing is to remember to use both the scrub and the pads after every single time you shave. If you still have acne, it's because you aren't doing what I said in this post.

Everyone saying food makes the difference is speaking the truth, since I started cooking the majority of my meals and eating clean, especially cutting out most if not all dairy my face has cleared up drastically. My only problem now is ingrown hairs.

you are 19, youre still a kid. if acne isnt hormonal then it is being caused by a more serious underlying health issue.
please dont listen to this garbage in here telling you to get on accutane, use some BS moisturizer, or "oh you just need to wash your face". its not going to work. those products may temporarily work but you will have to keep using them and they will screw your skin/health up permanently. people who are telling to improve your diet are correct. eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, cut out dairy at least temporarily to see if it has an effect, learn how to prepare your own meals.
check the nutrition & holistic health section on acne.org

I had acne for about 4 years, I'm also 19. Tried every prescription my dermatologist recommended and nothing cleared it up. Went on accutane and it worked miracles, my face was clearer than ever. I started to lose my hair and stopped taking it after just 1 month. It has been 4 months now, my hair is back to normal and my face is totally clear! Seriously OP, accutane is amazing!
Actually wish I went on it earlier. Oh and Cetaphil every morning and night!

Don't listen to either of these men.
Didn't accutane get sued for some side effects? It was pretty dangerous if I'm not mistaken.

I think OP needs to try something. It seems like he got acne and just gave up. OP, you need to stop feeling sorry for yourself and get that a positive outlook about yourself. After that, research online or take the advice here and try it.

So don't listen to people who have had good experiences with a life-changing drug, but listen to someone who has no experience with the drug? Sounds like good advice.

Isn't it true that you have to undergo a psychological evaluation before being prescribed accutane?
Supposedly, in some cases, people get extremely depressed and even committed suicide. Be careful with that *@%@ OP.

if you have good habits (clean, eat decently well, etc) then your acne is the result of a hormonal imbalance. this can be fixed 90% of the time by taking some supplements directly targeted towards acne-prone individuals.
i used to have REALLY bad cystic acne (i'm 24 y/o) and i tried everything. cleaning your face and changing your sheets does NOTHING for cystic acne. changing your diet will help, but honestly it's much easier taking 1-2 pills every day for 3 months than changing your diet.
i recommend acne-D. you can get a months worth for $20-30, cheaper if you buy multiple bottles at a time. take 2 every morning and 2 every night. drink lots of water. some people see differences within 1-2 weeks, others take as long as 3 months. for me, it took 3 months without ANY progress and then on the first week after the 3 months, my skin started showing significant improvements. the biggest thing to look for is a decrease in inflammation. that's the fuel that keeps the acne coming. you take away the inflammation and it's all gravy from there.
best of luck!
PS: stay away from derms. they don't do anything but line their pockets with $ by prescribing you useless antibiotics. the best treatment option, according to your derm, is the prescription that gives them the most reimbursement. not to mention taking antibiotics longer than 2-3 months is not good for your body at ALL. supplements are all-natural and you can take them for as long as it takes for your body to naturally be cured of acne.
