Try a glycolic acid..either as a serum or in a moisturizer. Cane+Austin makes a good one (its pads soaked in glycolic acid) and Peter Thomas Roth has a 10% gel serum. What is your current skincare program?
Go to your dermatologist and find out if an over the counter wash will do it. If you have inflammatory acne, meaning it derives from stress, hormones, lack of vitamins, or unbalanced diet, you'll need something more powerful like a prescribed topical treatment or medication.
If you have oily skin I would use cetaphil it's great for oily skin because it doesn't dry it out but takes the oil away and also immediately gets rid of acne. About 2 months ago I got realllllly bad ance and I started washing my face two times a day making sure I got ALL of my makeup off because this hot weather and sweating doesn't help your pores. You don't need to spend a lot of money on products. You just need to get a daily skin are routine and stick too it!:)
I think using a great clay mask will help. sit in the bathroom with the hot water on to get your pores soft and open them up... then apply the clay mask.. they're great for pulling out all the impurities in the skin. Also, using a good cleanser and toner helps out a lot!
