Default acne problem

Honestly, don't know what else to do. I've been dealing with acne since around 12 years old and I'm 27 now. I've tried the Oxy, and stuff through high school. Now I'm using the Proactiv 3 step kit, which I've been using for about 2.5 - 3 years. It worked at first but it doesn’t seem to work anymore. Now I'm on the hunt for something else because I stopped using the products I tried. Aside from the constant acne, my face is red and oily. Can you please give me some advice on what else I can try that may have worked for you?

Hello. I also have the same and my dermatologist prescribed me cleocin-t gel. Just wipe it twice a day on the affected area and great improvement will be noticed. It's also available on drugstores or any pharmacy so it's really a convenient product. Go ask your dermatologist about it. You have a great day.

Hello,

I feel for you. I ve had bad skin about 6-7 years ago in my early 20s. The best thing I ve done was to get rid of all the acne skin products as they were making things worse (and cost me so much money!) and replaced all my skin care with products for sensitive skin. I love simple products that my body can digest easily, baby products.... I use zinc cream if my skin brakes out or gets irritated and that always seems to help. Sometimes I use on an area and sometimes i do all of my face. Zinc calms the skin and speeds up the healing.
How is your diet?
I m about to do a cleanse thats called Master cleanse for the first time. My boyfriend has done it a few times and I heard that a lot of people have their skin cleared up at the end of the cleanse. It a challenging cleanse but its an option and extremely beneficial for your overall wellness.
Hope this helped a little.

If you have an oily skin wash your face twice a day in warm salty water. This should leave your face oil free without aggravating the pimples like soap.The secret of keeping the skin clear is to keep it oil-free and clean. If you have a dry skin honey is a great remedy for acne and pimples because the honey kills bacteria. If you have a combination skin when you wash your face, use sugar to scrub it, at least once a day, for two weeks to rid yourself of acne

Go see a dermatologist. I had it bad in college and afterwards. I was at wits end with all the products. My Dr prescribed a few things for me and they worked wonderfully.
