I've had really bad acne and oily skin for years and I need help any suggestions? My derm has me on antibiotics but they don't work.

I know how you feel I had oily skin/bad acne for years I tried everything then I heard about prescription retin-a cream. I use Tretinoin cream 0.1% every night 30 minutes after I wash my face it took 3-4 months but now my face is 100% acne/blemish free. Talk to your derm about it.

I have the same problem as you, and I have tried everyyything out there. I an currently taking zinc pills 75 mg a day) because I saw several great reviews of people online saying they have taken zinc and it had cleared up their acne in a few weeks. Hoping it will work for me too.. You should look into it. I orderdered mine off Amazon and it's really cheap! Worth a shot.

I'm in the same boat. I've tried everything at the drugstore and nothing has helped. My doctor prescribed me some benzoyl peroxide cream and Tretinoin cream. I'd look into that if you can.

It takes from six weeks to maybe 5 months for them to start making a difference, I know exactly how you feel and they really bring me down.

Mix honey and cinnamon and apply it to your face at least an hour then wash it off, those are both antibacterial. Also something that had worked well for me is that I apply natural yoghurt to my face for about half an hour everyday morning and night. It also cleared my face so much.

I put baking soda on my face every night and it drys acne out! If it gets to dry put a little olive oil on (before bed only!!) and my face looks a ton better!!
