It totally depends on your acne type. Various doctors prescribed me different medications from oral Tetracycline to some shitty gel. I noticed that when I was using only benzoyl peroxide my skin got dry (5%) and I had to compensate with a lot of lotion making my skin a oily mess.

To go over, look at the picture related. I have open comedomes so a prescription with a cream that has 0.1% adapalene with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide is what worked for me after some weeks. If you have acne as the pic you sent seriously consider going to your doctor/dermatologist.

Good luck from someone who fucking hates acne and has been symptom free for years.
P.S. Wear sunscreen or you're fucked.

Mine is what believe it or not I was a vegetarian and just broke a 2 year old diet as a vegetarian and ate beef stakes burgers pizza and in two weeks this happened

Why sunscreen even if I live in a place where the sun doesn't hit or if I'm indoors do I have to use it?

>>42392103
just get on accutane you faggots, 100% solved everyone i know who got it, including myself

>>42392103
>>42392250
this, youll end up on accutane eventually after wasting a year and pissing away money on other products. shit did wonders for me, and as long as you carry around chapstick youre fine

How long were you on it?

I already sweet potatoes which is chock full of vitamin A

>>42392103
cut milk
cut grains
go low fat high carb
lean protein
low saturated fats
prefer olive oil
eat your veggies
no milkbased proton shakes
no crazy amount of calories

if you want to take meds go for isotretinoin

>>42392301
If you actually don't want acne anymore you won't care about temporary side effects like dry skin you god damn retard

>>42392103
Stay away from soft drinks, etc. Water only.

Benzoyl Peroxide (Benzac AC) 2.5%, Cerave Moisturizer, light Vaseline cover when I wake up and before bed. God tier, and it currently works miracles. (basically the acne.org regimen)

Best of luck, it's hard but remember most people go through it, acne is just as much a mind game as it is a medication game.

>>42392442
vaseline
why would you put a ton of fat on your face
shitty idea for ppl with bad skin genetics

I had it for years, I went to my doctor about 2 months ago and he prescribed me some shitty anti biotics and benzyol peroxide that did not work at all, I will go again in a couple weeks and hopefully he will just give me accutane this time.

>>42392229
Nah I'm just thinking since it's still summer, sun almost never helps for acne unless all you have is scars and want to mask it with some tanning.

Tbh, I don't know a lot about dairy and animal products' influence on the skin, but it could be because you made a drastic change in your diet.

My acne is weird. Its not surface acne but its not inflamed either. Its looks like bumps under my skin and theyre impossible to pop without fucking up my face. They have been there for like years and idk how to get rid of acne like that. Obviously accutane or antibiotics would probably work but has anyone had acne like this?

>>42392103
If you have cash to spare try skinade, got rid of my spotty mug and helped with my exzema

Dude, it might be a fungus. Go see a dermatologist and you can fix it.
>pic related

>This skin condition called Malassezia folliculitis, formerly known as Pityrosporum folliculitis. It is caused by yeasts (fungi) of the genus Malasseziathat which can look just like acne. It looks like small, non-inflamed bumps that frequently shows up on the forehead, but can be anywhere on the face or body.

>Folliculitis occurs when bacteria or fungi enters and infect a hair follicle, resulting in inflammation. The inflammation shows up on the skin as a red, sometimes itchy rash of raised bumps. Some people think these bumps are acne, but it’s not the same thing. It extract different then acne. Most times the pores are only filled with a clear liquid instead of pus. It can remain dormant for long periods of time and then flare up with humid weather. This is a good indication that is folliculitis and not acne.

>>42392890
Mate, how much milk do you drink? I had persistent acne all through puberty, and a lot of small red spots on my forehead, peppered across the surface. After drugs from the doctor failed (after 6 months), I tried my own methods. I stopped drink milk, eating cheese, etc. And within 2 weeks my forehead was smooth as fuck. My back acne completely disappeared too.

>>42392960
To this day, if I start drinking milk again, it fucks my shit up. Protein powder is ok though.

>>42392925
its not inflamed at all though, that is the weird thing. I figured acne that deep would cause a lot of inflamation. it doesnt itch or hurt either

>>42392960
Yeah ive gone vegan recently to see if that does anything after a few months

>>42393008
>Deep acne
I also had this, it's not a lot of spots, but they're painful, deep spots that are just red lumps in appearance. If you do burst them it's painful as fuck, and oozes a lot of shit. Again, milk was the cause for me.

I'm this guy >>42392960

There's a reason why even males and females have to sign a pledge to not have any pregnancies or attempts for 14 to 60days. Hell, the shit can cause blindness in you not just your unborn kids.

>>42392301
Acne can do lots of mental damage though.
Gotta weigh the pros and cons and I'd have taken accutane if somebody fucking offered it to me.

I have acne only on my cheeks... It's been a few months now and I don't know what to do lol. Whatever I try they still appear from time to time.
My forehead is clear and smooth though. Just my cheeks...

i really really REALLY fucking wish you would read this post

stop using whatever you're using. eat carrots everyday, drink plenty of water, do cardio and sleep a lot

this is the most effective way to get rid of acne. period. heard of accutane? you know. the strongest acne medication on the market. it's just an overdose of vitamin a. basically

get vitimin a and sweat that shit out of you. sleep it off and you can thank me in a month or three when you have nice skin

seriously if you don't do this you're a fucking loser faggot and i feel bad that i actually wasted my time posting this. do this or enjoy your shitty skin. bitch

>>42393273

greasy high saturated fat food and dairy are known links to acne.

your acne wasn't there when you ate vegetarian? then go back to it then, or at least cut out the burgers, pizza, and dairy and only eat lean meats.

>>42393368
thanks, I'm a fucking retard.

>>42392250
It amazes me why people don't just go on accutane. I took it when I turned 18 because my acne wasn't getting better and it cleared up in a few months and I've never had a problem since. I finally just got my gf to take it and was hesitant because of the side effects but Christ few months of dried lips and skin is fine, you learn to just bring lotion and lipstick wih you

my diet cured my skin completely

Had it since I hit puberty and I'm 25 now. Only thing that ever worked was accutane. Its nowhere near as bad as what it used to be and it comes and goes, I can have clean skin for a month and will then have a breakout and have shit skin for 3 months.

Shitty food and dairy makes mine worse as well as pretty much any dirt or oil or anything mildly offensive touching my skin...its so fucking sensitive that its a nightmare

pretty bad atm and I need a shave....but shaving aggravates it and makes it worse

>>42393273
this is bad advice, eat food with real retinol instead

I have great results with Epiduo.
I 100% acclimated to the dryness in 2 weeks.
Iv'e used it for 7 years now and have 0 dryness and never moisturize.
Thing is, you do have to use it every day.
I also keep my pillow cases very clean.
Also, never pop zits with fingers, buy a special tool online.
Also, never try to pop a single zit more than one time per day.

>>42393273
>eat carrots everyday
You would have to eat like 10 carrots to get the desired effect. Just take beta carotene supplements.

>>42392103
Benzoyl Peroxide is great, used some Stridex as well, kept myself hydrated, new towel every day on the pillow, kept my hands and face clean all the time, avoiding to touch my face as much as possible.

Anyway, the best thing is always to see a dermatologist.

nigger acne isn't real just wash your fuckin face

I stopped having acne when I stopped eating sweets and sugar.

Sounds rather temporary. And every medication can cause horrific, yet unlikely side effects.

>>42392103
Here's my advice as someone who had acne, creams never worked and while I have some light scarring, it's not too noticeable.
>drink plenty of water throughout the day
>stay away from junk food and start eating healthy (plenty of fruit and veg)
>wash your face or at the very least splash some water on it when it gets greasy (especially before and after going to bed)
>avoid touching your face unless necessary (especially when it's greasy)
>start taking hot baths followed by cold showers. Helps clear out your pores.

Most of all don't irritate it. If you want to avoid scarring don't scratch, don't pick and don't get sunburnt.

go on accutane dude, dont be a fag about side effects meanwhile ur vitamin C supplement ur probably taking is slowly building up the tumor in ur head

I've had pretty bad acne since I entered high school, and I've tried a few different things to get rid of it.
1. Washing face with soap and water
2. various meme products my mom wanted me to try
3. a 6 month cycle of accutane (which was pretty effective, my acne used to be worse than it is now but it came back but I can't afford to do another cycle)
4. Cutting out milk from my diet for ~1 month

not sure what else to try, I used to run cross country so I did plenty of cardio and got plenty of sunlight and it never did a thing to it. just wanted you guys to know accutane isn't the be all end all solution to acne.

>>42394233
>start taking hot baths followed by cold showers. Helps clear out your pores.
Been doing 50/50 steaming hot/ice cold showers for a long time, works pretty well.

YOU FUCKING IDIOTS THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ACNE SO DIFFERENT MEDICATIONS ARE NEEDED REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>42392103
I'm 18 and it has only gone away in like the last year. I still get a pimple here and there but it's not too bad. I use a generic facewash in the shower, I think that's helped a lot. Best of luck man

>>42393845
Like what? Then

>>42392103
started breaking out one week after I started going to the gym and hasnt backed off 2 years later just kill me (no pics because its depressing as fuck)

i've tried:
-drinking heaps of water
-changing my sheets/pillowcase regularly
-gentle soaps and moisturisers
-benzyl peroxide
-antibiotics
-eating no dairy
-eating no sugar
-no fap

only thing left is either stop lifting or go on accutane, neither are appealing

>>42397478
liver has the highest concentration of it

Basically only got pigmentation left from having acne all throughout high school. Using a BPA daily and suncreen every morning but I don't think it's ever going away. feelsbadman

Hey I have the same thing, i've never found anything about it but here what it looks like.
It's not red, doesn't hurt, is hard to the touch but deep within the skin, been there for years.

I usually have a spot of two of cystic acne pop up once a week, rarely get white heads. I notice touching my face is definitely a trigger. If I feel one the first thing I do it rub a bit of 9% bha on it 3x/day for two days. 50% of the time it stops it in it's tracks. If it doesn't its usually because I was too late with catching it.

The worst though is when I get a cyst just on the edge of my lip, because some people mistake it for herpes which is embarrassing. I've been lucky lately with catching those ones with BHA before they turn ugly.

got it so just live off of water. my meals are all milk and whey and greasy beef and pizza and I dont get acne anymore because I did a 5 month accutane cycle. I do whatever I want, eat whatever I want and its all good.

>>42392301
I had bad acne like you bro but I went to the dermatologist and got on accutane and it was the best decision of my life, do yourself a favor and start accutane

>>42393120
well you will never have kids if you are an acne beta. I did it and got out scot free. If you have acne you may as well kys anyways. Its worth it just to take the risk of 0.01% something goes wrong and if it does just kill yourself. That was my mindset going into it and now Im cleared up and looking fresh af.

>>42393273

>>42393138
Dude same, my cheeks are a fking mess but my forehead, nose and chin area are fking clean idk what to do too.

Do all the solutions mentioned in this thread also apply to body acne? My face acne is kind of getting better, but I see absolutely zero progress on my torso

>>42398703
Seconding this for my back acne. My face is great, took ages but it's practically 100% clear. My back is awful though, so much so that I don't like going shirtless in front of people just for that reason.

Work up to three cups of home made kombucha a day. Drink for 3 months, stop eating so much shitty foods, do veggie and fruit shakes (like banana and spinach), eat salads. Wash your face with a neutral soap (I use glyceryn) once in the morning and once before bed or after gym if you go in the evening/night. Say good bye to acne in 2-3 months. No farmaceuticals needed, been there done that, doesn't work in the long run.

>>42393273
>>42393285
Do all of this. And also change your pillowcase daily + wash your fucking face with soap and a face wash with salicylic acid.

Acne comes from bacteria clogging up your pores.

Washing your face properly = no bacteria = no acne.

>>42392498
Not sure. It stops the moisture from leaving my face and cracking up, and hasn't caused any problems. Just passing on what I know.

>>42393432
Dude you're attractive as fuck acne or no.

Another bump for Accutane, I even had pretty serious side effects, I was on a high dose, but it was worth it. I have never met a person with worse acne than I had. I'm 24 now, and still have some bacne and an infrequent one or two on my face even with washing my face twice a day, sleeping on my back, eating clean etc..
However Acutane worked miracles for me, highly recommended.

Eat at least 10 servings of veggies a day. I personally love carrots for snacking, and spinach pairs with literally every savory food on the planet. The rest can vary depending on what you cook, but greens are good.

>>42392103
Havent looked through the thread, but if no one has said it yet, go on acutane. Idk how it would affect lifting (I did it in hs when i was a dyel) but that shit works miracles. You feel really dried out all the time (I had perpetually chapped lips) but I went from pizza face to cleared up with only a few scars in a number of months.

Lazy people tell you that you need to go the doctor, and you really do if you don't have enough discipline and you want just to hide the symptoms from the real cause.

If you want to get rid of the acne go in a monk mode. Eat ONLY healthy foods. Paleo or vegan diet or something like that, 100% whole foods only and enough veggies/fruits.
Do not use hot water in the shower!
Basic hygiene, you don't need anything crazy but wash your face after sweating and change your pillow case.
Stop masturbation. Sounds crazy but try it yourself for 30 days before asking for a study or some shit.
Minimize stress, so I'd recommend starting meditation but there are other ways to help it.
Enough water every day, around a gallon.

>>42399239
Accutane works but it should be last resort. Two of my childhood friends tried to kill themselves while on Accutane and they were normal guys. One died and one broke his both arms. They both jumped from heights.

>>42400721
Try it yourself for 45 days without cheating at all. Don't have the discipline? Enjoy your pizza face and go to a doctor to ask for (((pills))) to hide the symptoms.

I used to have really greasy skin and puss filled zits all over face, shoulders, upper body when I realized I was fucking stupid for always taking piping hot showers trying to get "extra clean".

I switched to cold showers about a month ago and everything is slowly coming back to normal. Back, chest and shoulders have completely cleared up.

For my face I also use an antibacterial cleansing milk that is just massaged in and washed out with cold water.

I feel so fucking stupid for showering wrong my entire life. Don't turn up the heat!

>>42400705
Stop throwing bullshit in threads please, there are many different types of acne.

Accutane is the only thing which works. I am just mad I didn't hop on it when I first got acne. Now I have acne scars and redness.

I have tried countless shit throughout the years and none worked. Jumped on accutane and got rid of every single pimple in 2 months, I stayed on it for 9 months though.

How are people so ignorant about acne in 2017? It all depends on how much sebum you produce, diet and hygiene play almost a nonexistent role. Brahs covered in acne are the most hygienic people out there since they want to get rid of fucking PIMPLES, think for 2 seconds you dumb fucks.

Anyone who says they got rid of acne by diet, never had an acne issue in the first place. Everyone gets a couple of pimples now and then.

>>42398820

Do you really think brahs covered in acne don't wash themselves? Are you missing brain cells?

My doctor prescribed me some clindamycin+tretinoin gel and it was basically gone in a week or two.

>>42392309
>>42397869
It's pretty simple

Avoid milk
avoid gluten (this is actually somewhat true I was always a denier but I got flare ups around my chin/jaw and noticed they went entirely after testing 3 times removing it)


Eat more Vit A containing foods and it helps complexion or just more veges in general.

Plenty of bulk foods still, I eat 4000 calories on a Vegan diet, some days I'm lazy some days they're mainly proper meals.

Peanut Butter is based
Avocado is based
Soya milk is based
Oatmeal is based (gf ofc)
Oatcakes with some form of v. cream cheese (very calorie dense and fibrous for the size)
Bananas
Orange juice or fruit juice the 100% pressed fruit versions

Don't be scared to have some sugar too, some people say it causes acne and I've not noticed it unless I have absurd amounts of sugar in a short window of time and spike my insulin but even then it's questionable. Plenty of options for sugar I don't need to list.

I'll usually have 1 energy drink working out as I get hungry fast and it keeps me fine when training.

If you don't mind saturated fats then add some coconut milk (cooking milk) in there and it's good as fuck. I rarely eat this due to sat fats.

Milk is honestly the main culprit. I was on accutane for nearly a year and still had spots and cut out milk and it went within a couple weeks and I was left with scars only.

I remember telling Brian from that Humerus fitness about it when he had cystic acne and he replied saying he'd give it a try and now he's a massive anti-milk in particular activist/guy. Feelsgoodman.

I'm around 19 now and I started getting acne since I was 18, it's not too overwhelming but my forehead has become infested with huge pimples.

This fucks me up so much because I never had pimples when I was having puberty, my first pimple was around 17 and they didn't really show up till I'm 18

Which confuses me, shouldn't teens at the start of puberty get the full brunt of it?

Lmao I thought I escaped acne when everyone around me had their faces filled with it in high school but now everyone's acne starts to go away and I get acne now

Am I a late acne bloomer or something because as I far as I know I did not change anything about my habits, I still eat the same thing, exercise the same amount, sleep in clean bed sheets etc

>>42398820
you've probably never had acne, just hygeine spots.

I've always been a clean freak and showered twice a day, more like once a day and wash my face once in the morning with water and then at night with face wash unless I've been training then straight after training with face wash.

It's more hormonal imbalances and food reactions, I've helped a lot of people with acne and stomach problems ie. flatulence and diarrhoea and it pretty much always comes down to milk.

Even before I made my change over a year ago to Vegan, I stopped drinking milk 5 years ago.

>>42394023
Yeah dude maybe

Im exhausting my natural methods

Lots of collage inducing foods and vitamin a

I dont get much acne, the occasional spot or two

Do you think accutane will reduce my acne scars?

>>42401882
>This fucks me up so much because I never had pimples when I was having puberty, my first pimple was around 17 and they didn't really show up till I'm 18

Remember when your parents would say they could eat that shit as a kid and now they can't or they feel sick etc. That rule applies to you too. You're probably having an adverse reaction to something in your diet, I'd try milk removal for a couple of weeks (that includes in your food) and see how it clears up, or just get rid of it permanently as it's shit tier.

If it doesn't work, slowly eliminate certain foods that are usual main culprits.

>>42401882
No species gets pimples on the road to reaching sexual maturity. Don't believe the lies.

>>42401916
Accutane doesn't reduce scarring it just stops the spots forming, it's the worst mistake of my life going on accutane. Permanent short sightedness and I was constantly dehydrated and sore back.

If you want to remove acne scars quicker use benzoyl peroxide, other than that I'd look into a concealer (yes im srs) and just cover up the scars and let shit heal naturally. 90%+ of mine are gone after 5 years, can only feel slight indentations in skin and minor red blemishes (i mean you have to look close to see it)

I took benzoyl for a few weeks max and I couldn't stand the stingy feeling on my face and it being red.

>>42401925
What this guy says. You can get hormonal imbalances from food intake but nobody just magically gets acne, it's from somewhere. As I said above, check diet.

Main culprits are;

Milk
Gluten
Oils (too much in general)
Sugar (too much at once or in general)

Insulin has been linked to sebum production and IGF 1 found in milk. Oils are questionable I will admit I had no reactions myself to them nor have I really had any to sugar as far as I can see but I don't tend to go over 150grams cane sugar a day (fruit is different)

I don't have that many scars, but my pores are huge. Up close it almost looks like little holes, especially on and surrounding my nose.

Any way to deal with this?

Yea I've been noticing that diet might be my issue

At one point my parents started forcing me to drink a shit ton of milk because I'm too short (I don't think milk even helps with that) so I drank like a carton per day (I know it's dumb)

That was around 17 and I started getting a pimple here and there but it's really minor and I stopped drinking milk except when I eat cereal every now and then but my acne worsened after a few months of me stopping guzzling milk . I think stress could have been one of the factor because right after I broke up (bout a year ago) I instantly started getting pimples everywhere, it's better now but the pigmentation is still here and I never really revert back to the days where I just have a single pimple every few months

Idk if the milk started the downfall or not but I've been trying to cut off fried foods now and I think it's getting better.

Anyway thanks for the advice!

No, you can't close pores. You're saying it yourself

>up close

Honestly people don't give a fuck, I have big pores on my nose too, they're actually called sebaceous filaments, you can't get rid of them or reduce them in size.

Honestly just cut the milk out and find the root cause of your cystic acne. Might be difficult for people to give up milk etc. but it's honestly not, there's so many other foods and most places do alternatives now for dairy in their foods, especially in the UK. I don't know what US is like really.

I promise you now nobody will care about your tiny dots on your nose, your eyes will see shit way more clear than anyone elses on your face.

>>42402028
Your parents are retarded for doing that. Milk has no carryover into height, it has to do with your growth plates being free or fused in your back.

I'm 6'8 and don't drink milk cause yeah, it's lame.

Stress can be a big cause I'm doing university work at the moment and have noticed a few blemishes coming up. There's a few variables that can cause these problems. Look into common foods like I listed above and just try rotating them out.

Good luck.

>>42402033
I will note there is chemical exfoliants like beta hydroxy acid and salycylic acid that can reduce the appearance but it didn't work for me and made my pores/sebaceous filaments red.

Try this with zinc too

>>42393812
I find that shaving helps otherwise a bunch of germs will get stuck in the hair and cause breakouts.

>>42393293
drink it or apply on the skin?

>>42402418
Apply on skin

What helps me is
>vitamin c serum as cleanser
> watered down apple cider viniger with tree tea oil as toner
>pure appke cider viniger for spot treating zits
>argan oil as mosturizer
This helps me deal with zits and hyper pigmentation.

As for diet I cut out milk, sugar and bad carbs.
>zinc
>vitamin d
>fish oil
I'm trying vitamin a to see how it will help. Looking to replace vitamin d and fish oil with a quality cod liver oil.

>>42402484
Forgot to mention I take digestive aids as well.

>>42393319
>no shaving
I was virtually zit free for a couple of days, shaved with a newly bought razor blade and next day my jawline had red irritations and I got pimples around my lips again.

I need to figure out how to shave to avoid this, i tried elictric razors, aftershave, just trimming but it seems unavoidable.
If I don't shave I look like a rapist.

>>42402439
are you the tren guy?
Its hard for me to believe he/you cleared up tren acne. Thats not just normal acne, that shit keeps coming and there is barely anything to stop it. Im on gear too and the acne i get from it is insane. Tren acne is a whole other level again.

>>42402539
>if i dont shave i look like a rapist

haha same here. I have to shave everyday or else i look shit, yet i get acne from it everytime.

You cant completely avoid pimples from shaving, but whats helps GREATLY is to apply jojoba or argan oil (or better yet both) to your skin right after, and for the next 2 days whenever you go to bed.

>>42392103
Never had anything other than a few blemishes. Worked outside for a few hours and now my back and chest are broken out, probably because of sweat.

>>42393395

Stop masturbating
Stop using rough soap and leave your face relatively untouched by cleaning products
Stop eating like shit

>>42392103
try alcohol aftershave instead, and sun tans.

>>42402989

why stop masturbating?

That's not genetics, it's hormones, are you this dense?

>>42403623
How does that work for some duds and not for others, you have 25 year olds still with acne.

Their hormones fucked up or what?

>>42397535
do you always shower immediately after your workout? Because you probably should to clean the sweat off

>>42404857
It's the dairy. their hormones too sensitive so when hormones from dairy get in the body starts fucking itself up

>>42392103
Just get on accutane

>have to choose whether I want gluten and lactose or no acne
Might as well kill myself

>>42404947
Oh I see, and after throwing out dairy how long does one have to wait to see improvements?

1 week/month or more?

>>42392960
this, cut milk and all that shit its gon go away try lemon mayb worked for me atleast

>>42404857
If you start having acne while going through puberty and it stops after, it means you had hormonal acne.
I never said hormonal acne is the only one that exists, just that for particular one you don't need to actually do anything to get rid of it.
Plenty of reasons you can get acne, face too dry, face too greasy, not washing the face, washing the face too much, using too hard products on your face, etc etc. That much is genetics and you have to actually do something about it.

>>42392301
doxiciclyne is for very mild acne, it won't do shit for yours.

Roaccutane isn't that scary, the side effect are a dry skin of maybe nose itching, because it'll heavily reduce sebum secretion. You should really go for it, the more you wait the more likely you are to have permanent scars

>>42392301
Dad claims that acutane made him go bald. Use the spooky drug at your own risk anon.

>>42406069
just take biotin with it if you're worried about it affecting your hair

>>42406069
Honestly between pizzaface and bald im pretty sure bald is the better option.

>>42405899
yes 1 week at least for me and make sure avoid DAIRY PRODUCTS those mean not just milk

>>42406069

this is absolutely possible.

>>42407306

after reading a bit it is possible but rare. the list of adverse affects is definitely very scary though.

>>42406279
this. at least going bald isnt repulsive

Make sure not to wash your face too much, it will just dry out your skin and make the acne worse. Wash it when you wake up and when you go to bed and use some kind of moisturiser.
Drinking water does help a lot
If you're a woman try hormonal birth control, ask specifically for a type that will help with acne.
Any medication will take a few months to start working so stick with it
