- Get something that has benzoyl peroxide in it (those cream thingies)
or
- Get something that has salicyic acid in it (Oxy pads)

Depends... some skin reacts better with one or the other. BP is stronger though if i'm correct.

I've heard some stuff about http://www.no-acne.com/main.htm , but I'm not sure how good it is. I need to find something for my acne, though I'm sure nothing will work better than a prescription.



Edited to fix link. I need to figure out how to use this with quick reply.

Looks too cheezy to be legit IMO.

Lol if you look at the way bottom of this forum thread, there's some automated ads for acne (links to Proactiv, B5, a couple others).

During your treatment, be sure to wear white or low-neck shirts, and use white sheets and white towels. Anything that touches skin treated with benzoyl peroxide will discolor or bleach. I ruined several shirts and a few towels this way.

Actually, the greasy foods thing might be the cause of my breakouts.

See at school, they sell cheap ass fries for $1. Since I skimp on lunch to save lunch money, I get the fries. Since during the summer, I actually stay away fro these grease infectious fries, my breakouts were gone. As the current school year started, I stayed away from the fries. Then around November, one of the girls at my lunch table asks if we should buy our own fries and combine our piles. Since my lunch shift got changed after the semester ended, I no longer eat fries (Lol). However, I'm stuck with the consequences. :(

PS: Sooner or later, somehow, a female would become involved in such a petty thread. :D

My mom is in her 40's and still has breakouts. My skin is just like hers. I think I am doomed to have acne the rest of my life :(
