In my opinion it seems like my acne is so bad.. i get huge bumps on my cheeks and chin.. and i have a bunch of acne scars. i am literally so self conscious when it comes to my face.. ive tried pretty much everything.. pro active, natures cure,acne free, nutragena, clean and clear, olay, stridex, Clearasil, prescriptions from my doctor.. does anything really work?I have really bad acne...?
Actually there is no cure for acne.. its as simple as that. If nothing else worked, and your acne is severe, its probably time to see a dermatologist about accutane or another drug thats the same strength or better. But even after I used accutane, my acne did come back years later, although its not as bad now. I'm telling you honestly when I say there is no cure for acne, at least not a permanent one. There is no drug or magical potion that exists to date, only temporary fixes.I have really bad acne...?
I used to have REALLY bad acne. So my parents took me to a few doctors, and they ended up giving me some acne creme, and lotion. Just visit your doctor again, hopefully it will help!
But as of right now, I just use Clearasil. I've been using it since the day I got my first sign of acne, it works wonderfully! My skin is VERY oily, I might add. I wash my face about 3 times a day with just warm water, and I rub it with a towel.
Do you use any coverup? If you do, use Bareminerals because it's healthy, and doesn't make me break out at all. My skin is almost clear all the time, I just have little pimples on my forehead thats not very visible. My routine is wash face with warm water in the morning, wash face again when I get home from school, and wash again before I go to bed, and then apply Clearasil.

First, I understand where you're coming from. I grew up with really bad acne, not only on my face but on my body as well. It was embarrassing and I tried everything including cleansers, creams, prescription medications, antibiotics, over the counter medications, and even shots from the dermatologist (ouch!) to get rid of it. I never did until many years later when it didn't matter as much.

Here's what I found out after lots of research and trial and error, the hard way.
It's not a topical issue, it doesn't help much to treat it from the outside, it's an inside job. When you treat it from the outside it's like treating the symptoms, not the cause. You'll hear from many people that's not the case, and it's usually because they want you to buy their creams or lotions, and keep buying them month after month after month (or they haven't experienced the truth). Of course, when you stop using it (as you've experienced) your blemishes come back... because you're not treating the cause. And the costs for all of these routines/drugs add up month after month.
If you think about it logically, it makes sense. Why do we get rashes, breakouts, or other skin irritations? It's usually because of something we ate, something that wasn't meant to be put on our skin, something that caused us stress and our body reacts to all those things.
Bottom line is that most every cause of acne is related to what you eat, how you feel and how you take care of yourself. Your skin is a reflection of what's on the inside. We have lots of toxins building up in our systems and they have to be cleaned out on the inside and that will reflect on the outside. The blemishes, rashes, acne, etc are indications that your body is reacting to what you're eating, to stress, toxins, chemicals, hormones... literally a great number of things.
Basically what I did in a nutshell was clean out my system by taking out the processed and junk foods, and added as much fresh fruits and vegetables to my diet as possible. This part is key. I also started drinking a lot of water daily, starting with 3 or 4 glasses when I wake up (adding a squeeze of fresh lemon at times). I also got more active every day, walking, running, sports, jumping, whatever, just getting active. It not only gave me more energy, it help flush out the toxins that were clogging up my system.
