I am 21 years old. And for about a year I had the perfect skin! I was so glad to be rid of my teen age acne. Then bam I broke our worse than ever before. I have always been the home remedy girl since. I don’t have the money to go out and buy any thing and I rotate through the ones. I know work to keep My skin from becoming immune. Now I am broken out bad and the one store bought item that worked made things worse and home remedies are failing me!! Help!!!

Hi,
I am 16 years old male and recently my acne has been getting worse. My skin is oily with mostly whiteheads ,but recently seen more and more blackheads that are making things worse. I am thinking of trying clear pores? Is that my best option?

Hi Sydney,

Make sure you get a full nights sleep. I remember freshman year as being pretty stressful in itself (even if it doesn’t feel like it). New environment and new people can always cause your body to act differently, and this could be what is causing your acne to flare up again.

I’ve said it before on here, but in case you haven’t seen: Always wash and *MOISTURIZE* your face before you go to sleep. A lot of people skip the moisturizer thinking it will make their face greasy.. But in fact, if your skin is too dry, your acne can ironically get worse. The only thing you have to look for is that the moisturizer be specifically designed for facial use. Moisturizers for the rest of your body can clog your pores and make your acne worse. Drink plenty of water and your acne should clear up shortly.

Thanks for the comment, Sydney. Keep in touch,
David

Hi
I’m 14 years old and I’ve had trouble with acne for a few years now. I’ve been using proactive, and it worked for a long time, just about up until I started freshmen year… Now it’s starting to flare up again and I don’t know what happened. I’m not more stressed or anything. Do you have any advice or insight?

Gia,

Don’t worry, your acne sounds hormonal and your genetics probably have something to do with why you are the only one of your friends experiencing the problem. It’s completely normal and you have plenty of treatment options. But first, let’s cover the obvious:

If you don’t already do this, try thoroughly washing your face (don’t forget to moisturize too!) every morning and every night before you go to sleep. Also, being an athlete like yourself, it’s very important to wash your face after every practice/game because letting sweat sit on your skin is just asking for more acne!

Now, onto some treatment options:

If you don’t want to purchase an acne treatment online, ask your doctor about writing you a prescription for a medicine called Doxycycline. It’s a cheap antibiotic and is very effective for getting rid of persistent acne. You should see major results after a month of use and while it’s still a prescription, it’s less dangerous than taking something like Accutane. You don’t have to worry about your acne getting worse before it gets better either.

Thanks for your comment. Let me know how it goes!
-David

Well we've always preferred Acnezine (our #1 last year) but Dermology has been creating quite a buzz recently and has topped our charts... I'd recommend either treatment over a drugstore treatment any day, but Dermology has a great offer going right now... I think its free after their mail-in rebate or something like that (minus shipping of course). Comes to about $8. @Michel: How old are your kids? And how bad is their acne?

I’ve always used that one Proactiv treatment… I was on accutane for a couple months but then I stopped because I couldn’t take the pain it was causing my face.

I need something thats not too harsh but still effective… Opinions?
