African black soap works wonders. You can get it off Amazon or coastalscents.com. But it's wonderful for acne, got if for my boyfriend who's fair skinned and breaks out a lot and it started to clear his face up within a week.

Honey and aspirin! Smash 2 tablets of aspirin with like a jar or cup and warm up some honey then mix the 2 together and apply to face for as long as you can. Some do it overnight buy I don't cause I move to much in my sleep. It really works!!

We are in the same problem I use grapefruit from neutrogena and I works a little bit! Make sure you use a cleanser that have benzoyl but please don't use Proactive because one you use it you will have to use it foreverr.

What Erin said. I use African black soap too now, for about a week and a half, and it's working wonders.

And at night I use unrefined coconut oil, unrefined Shea butter and grapeseed oil that I mixed together at home. In the morning I moisturize with L'Oréal Triple Active day moisturizer:) my skin looks and feels fantastic!

(Just to clarify, I use the oils to moisturize after I wash my face with the African black soap). You can buy all the oils on eBay/amazon:)

And I do what amber does. Mine is shea butter, grapeseed oil, and sesame oil. You will need something to moisturize your face with.

I got that 'Oxy face cleanser pads' and they are amazing! I had been using this other face wash and one day I washed my face with my old cleanser then used a pad and I was really surprised with how much dirt and gunk was still on my face! They minimize your pores, get rid of excess oil and fight acne and pimples. Get the deep clean one (blue packaging not red). Finish it off by rinsing with cold water (minimizes pores so less dirt can get in)

To escape the expensive memberships to these acne products I found Acnefree. I bought it on a whim from Walmart because I'm fed up with trying everything under the sun to have clear skin too. Its not fast at clearing your skin but once it does it keeps it clear even if you don't use it daily.

Don't try anything too strong. The chemicals can make your skin worse.

I use Clinique's 3 Step in the #3 version (for oily/combo skin) and I have trouble with blackheads and whiteheads but this has helped tremendously! They have the 3 Step for Acne as well but I don't feel my acne is bad enough for that. Try that?

Cut out all dairy for 2 weeks and drink lots of water, don't use harsh products that irritate it even more since acne is really inflammation dairy can cause it and I found most acne products make it worse. wash daily, use a benzoyl peroxide wash at night and cerave moisturizer, use a mild cleanser like cerave or cetaphil and use argan or coconut oil to moisturize. that has cleared me up.

DO NOT TAKE ALL RECOMMENDATIONS ON HERE HUN! HEre are two Options I am giving you, ONE. Go to Sephora, and talk to a skin expert, and they will show you the best products for your skin type using skincare IQ. and If that doesn't work I would TWO go to a DERMATOLOGIST. Otherwise you could destroy your skin.
