Any acne treatment that is not very expensive and works good???!!!?

not proactiv or skin ID because they are expensive. not clearasil pads or cream because they made my acne even worse and right now im using clean %26amp; clear advantage acne cleanser. i think that%26#039;s what it%26#039;s called. it%26#039;s kind of working but it%26#039;s drying out the skin above my lip next to my nostrils. i even tried regular soap and alchohol. it seems like nothing works for me my mom says its puberty but everyone else in my school is going thru the same n they don%26#039;t have as much pimples as me! help!!!|||http://www.acne.org/

basically, the gist of what they say there is (they also provide video demonstations):





--wash your face for only 30 seconds with a very mild cleanser (one that produces a lot of thick lather), rinse thoroughly and pat your face dry with a towel





--once your face is dry, apply a coat of 2.5% benzoil peroxide to your entire face, massaging it very gently until it gets absorbed by the skin.





--after that dries, apply some light, oil free, non-pore clogging moisturizer--preferably with some spf





--do this once when wake up and once when you goto bed.








I had suffered from really bad acne for almost a decade... this website changed my life years ago. if i hadn%26#039;t come across it, I would still have sever cystic acne covering my entire face. i had tried a plethora of treatments: salycilic acid, erythromycin, benzomycin, tetracyclin, etc... the P. acnes would eventually become immune to the antibiotics





the reason daniel kern%26#039;s method works is because it%26#039;s preventive, and it%26#039;s very gentle on your skin. it%26#039;s similar to Proactiv but its%26#039; even gentler and way way less expensive. most treatments can overdry and irritate your skin causing more oil production and breakouts. best thing about this method is you don%26#039;t have to buy treatments that belong to any specific brand. TRUST ME this worked when nothing else would, except for accutane--but that has the potential for serious side effects.





do not use soap and alcohol for goodness sakes!





just try what they say on the website and stick to it for a few weeks. you%26#039;ll notice a huge difference but you have to do it exactly as they tell you.





you can join the forums to chat with other people who suffer too, but be warned some of their forums are way too emo.





one last pro tip: you have to do it every day; don%26#039;t slack when you see results.|||My kids (ages 12 to 18) use the Clean and Clear. If its drying your skin out then only use it once a day instead of twice. Or just don%26#039;t put it in the place that gets dry. Are you using the spot treatment (the littlest tube) on the place that gets dry? If so, try not using it there for a few days. Also, you could just wash your face with a non-drying cleanser (St. Ives Apricot Cleanser is a good one, it has the same ingredient (Salicylic Acid) as the Clean and Clear and is milder.) Then use the Clean and Clear moisturizer and spot treatment and see if that works. That%26#039;s actually what I am using right now as well as my 15 year old and it is working well for us. Not too drying and the little apricot seed bits in it are a great exfoliater.|||May be you should try some herbal cream for your pimples.
