Which acne treatment is the best?

I%26#039;ve used a lot of acne washes like clearasil and botanics but my acne keeps coming back. It is just non stop even if i wash everyday and the pimples hurt a lot. I end up with a bunch of red dots on my face. I have a naturally oily face and my parents had a lot of acne when they were young.





Can anyone recommend the best acne treatment that has worked for them?|||Ummm i used to have horrible skin and I tried out the Proactive solutions from the TV ads and it actually really worked! Put it this way, on my back it used to be filled with acne until about half way down and now it%26#039;s barely there anymore. it doesn%26#039;t work for everyone this is true but it%26#039;s always worth a shot, especially if there%26#039;s a money back guarantee. I remember my cousin used to use a face mask which was made out of egg yolks (basically what you do is separate the egg and then put the yolk on your face). There%26#039;s also the usage of a sensitive skin soap and then use a moisturizer. I hope this helps!|||Id suggest you to give Proactiv a try...I did, and it worked for me..Though it took about 3 months to completely clear my face.


You should also try Murad. It%26#039;s a bit pricey, though.


If these two products doesn%26#039;t do any better, maybe you should consult a dermatologist near you. It%26#039;s the best option you%26#039;ve got.Trust me.Its for your own good.|||Take the following self-care steps to lessen the effects of acne:





Clean your skin gently with a mild, non-drying soap (like Dove, Neutrogena, or Basics.) Remove all dirt or make-up. Wash once or twice a day, including after exercising. However, avoid excessive or repeated skin washing.


Shampoo your hair daily, especially if it%26#039;s oily. Comb or pull your hair back to keep the hair out of your face. Avoid tight headbands.


Try not to squeeze, scratch, pick, or rub the pimples. Although it might be tempting to do this, it can lead to scarring and skin infections.


Avoid touching your face with your hands or fingers.


Avoid greasy cosmetics or creams. Look for water-based or %26quot;non-comedogenic%26quot; formulas. Take make-up off at night.


If these steps do not clear up the blemishes to an acceptable level, try over-the-counter acne medications. These creams and lotions are applied directly to the skin. They may contain benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, resorcinol, or salicylic acid. They work by killing bacteria, drying up the oil, and causing your skin to peel.





If the pimples are still a problem, a dermatologist can prescribe stronger medications and discuss other options with you.





Prescription medicines include:





Oral antibiotics (taken by mouth) such as minocycline, doxycycline, and tetracycline


Topical antibiotics (applied to the skin) such as clindamycin or erythromycin


Synthetic vitamin A derivatives called retinoids such as retinoic acid cream or gel (Retin-A) and isotretinoin pills (Accutane) -- pregnant women and sexually active adolescent females should NOT take Accutane, as it causes severe birth defects


Prescription formulas of benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, resorcinol, salicylic acid


Birth control pills can sometimes help clear up acne. (In some cases, though, they may make it worse.)





Your doctor may also suggest chemical skin peeling, removal of scars by dermabrasion, or removal or drainage of cysts.





A small amount of sun exposure may improve acne. However, excessive exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet rays is not recommended because it increases the risk of skin cancer.
