If you want something cheap that works fast I would recommend a DIY face mask. Here's what you need:
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon nutmeg

Mix them together and leave in your face for 20-30 minutes. Wash it off with warm water(you might have to scrub a little because its a little gritty) Don't so this more than 3x a week or your face will dry up but I had bad acne as well and could not believe the results! I had tried so many different products and when I used this my face cleared almost instantly(with the exception of a few zits here and there) It decreases redness, swelling, scars, and leaves your face smelling great! If you have sensitive skin though I'd be careful but for most it works fantastic!

Go to your family doctor! Acne is no joke and I know the toll it can take on your self esteem. Ask about a product called "differin" and see if it's right for you. Good luck :)

I agree with everybody that says go to a dermatologist! They will tell you what is going on and to get the right products for your face! Also Clinique acne face wash really works and you can get a pack at Macy's! I wish you the best of luck!

Please go see a skin specialist/doctor so that they can let u knw exactly what the root of ur skin problem is as well as the best products to use.Dont do over the counter or shop products before getting proffesional advice.It will save u alot of time,energy n money.

Covering it with foundation is ok but I would suggest put makeup on only when u r going out and u should start applying lemon juice on it daily for 10 min. And def. Go to a doctor ....

I wouldn't go to you're usual doctor, they dont specialize in skin! they will just prescribe you something like a topic cream and probably wont solve your acne, and without sounding harsh, it looks quite angry, you must be at your witts end! So I would go to a dermotologist asap, he/she will get you the best advice and prescribe you with some pills and a cream that will work! also he will be able to tell you why you have it and all that, trust me, they might be a bit expensive, but sure will be worth it,in the long run you want to save time and money.
I'm saying this because I had problem skin and going to my dermatologist was the best thing I did.Good luck :)

Dermatology first.! :) taking a zinc supplement might help. Also washing ur face with extra virgin olive oil cuz its gentle. I think u can look it up "oil cleansing meathod" i use grapeseed extract into the olive oil and it helps. Tea tree oil on active acne. Drink lots of water and a deep exfoliate once a week or if its sensitive twice a month. Good luk!!

Dermatologist can prescribe you something that can have enough medication to reduce the pimples... I dnt think that makeup is healthy for ur skin right now Bc it can clog ur pores and Cause more... I really wish you the best of luck but for sure go see a dr. They can help.

Hey I wanted to write on hear because I have had horrible acne since I was 12. Now I'm 22. I saw a doctor a couple times but they never seem to get my problem fixed. I feel like my skin has broken out in different times of my life for different reasons. First stress then hormones then some more stress then being pregnant and dealing with a huge hormonal change and now from unhealthy eating. I know it is so hard and you feel like why did I get stuck with this kind of skin..

Recently my skin has been under control, here is what I did to start.

I went to acne.org and just read what the guy wrote and some comments
I didn't want to buy his product and be disappointed so I thought about this cleanser and cream I had bought a while back which I really liked because my skin never broke out truly, It just didnt make my scars go away and I did have an occasional pimple, and it came with a trial face cream that was perfect for my oily skin! So anyways I thought I'm going to buy it, aveeno smart essentials detoxifying daily scrub and daily face cream.

Then I went to Walgreens and bought their brand of invisible acne cream ( because it was cheap) and I liked it. I have to warn you though I slather it on day and night and your skin will go through a phase of being totally dry but it seriously goes away!! I was about to give up after a couple days but it got better. I put the benzoyl peroxide on and let it set in and then add my face cream on top.

When I must wear make up I mix aveeno bb cream with the aveeno moisturizer and then I put almay clear complexion concealer where my red spots and pimple are which is baisically all along my jaw line and my chin.

Now I don't know how much the skin care routine has madey face better or if its what I eat weekly now...

I try to always have fresh bluberries ( which I freeze myself) and red or orange or yellow bell peppers and avocados daily. I those three foods are really good for ridding your body of bad toxins we get from eating processed foods.. And I refuse to give up my fast food when I really want it so I try to make my snack really healthy. I also eat frozen peas as a snack. I know frozen blueberries and frozen peas may sound weird but its really yummy they are sweeter in the frozen form. I also cut out soda for the most part, but I was never partial to it anyway I'm 4 cups of coffee morning and ice tea the rest of the day person. So I kept my coffee and make my own ice tea on the weekends as a treat. And I just try to drink water and like v8 splash and cranberry juice or apple juice if I want somethkng with flavor.

This is the longest review I have written. I hope somebody can read it and think its helpful. We are all so different and not one thing is the right and perfect answer. I struggle with that daily and just try to look on the bright side even when I wake up feeling awful.

I've had acne for years and I've found the best product to use is olive oil and its even better to use extra virgin olive oil it does not clog pores and the oil does not make you breakout! Also every week perhaps 2-3 times put lemon on your face for 15 minutes and steam your face with water before doing this. The lemon will kill bacteria and germs also by steaming your face you'll open your pores. Also once a week I do a sugar facial scrub which is just sugar with a few drops of water do not do this when you do your lemon face wash as it will irritate your skin , since I've been doing this I've had no break outs it's been a couple of months now and many people have said I've not broken out and my scars are fading :') also I have been sleeping 10hours a day now which is great.

Put the olive oil after washing your face every night *
