I've had semi-mild acne for a few years now... (I'm 19) and I've finally found something that gets rid of it. I've tried proactiv and a number of other things but none of them seemed to work.

What was my cure? I shower twice a day, and use Noxema Triple Clean Anti-Bacterial (twice a day) The second shower is really only taken because I run everyday...

But over the past 3 weeks it's slowly disapeared. Now, there are just a few non-red bumps, but it's all pretty much gone. I'm happy... It certainly boosts my confidence.

Not sure... I haven't had a breakout really since I started using it. I've had one or two pop up... but for the most part everything is gone. I did stop using it for a week, and switched to something else (only because I went back to school, and for got about the stuff in my shower at home) and I did notice it started back up then... but now that I've been using it again... I haven't had a problem.

I don't use anything else on my face other then that... I try not to touch my face what so ever, as well.
 
I know how you feel. Well, actually i felt worse until i took a cycle of acutane. No amount of noxema would have cleared up what i had. 😉

Acutane is some scary medicine but it really works. It cured my terrible back acne in a matter of months and now I have just some small ones every once in a while, barely even noticeable.

I was about to go to acutane... I've had a few prescriptions for otherstuff, but to no avail. Honestly, nothing worked before, it looked the same or worse. I think it must be the anti-bacterial....

 
proactive worked best for me because it would making my skin flake by making it super dry. I hated my skin medicine from my derm because it made my skin dry up like crazy.

No one that I know thats used it has had those problems, it can cause depression and requires shots (so if you don't like that stuff it kinda negates it).

I used to have terrible acne, but I've grown out of it over the years.

Dunno about that, but it does other "fun" stuff.

If you get pregnant or get a girl a girl pregnant while on Accutane the baby will be messed up.

It makes you so dry that your lips crack and bleed all the time.
 
I took accutane and had to go to monthly hospital visits to make sure my liver was still functioning properly. I wasn't able to finish the treatment, but it did have an excellent effect on my skin for a while.
 
a year ago a kid from my high school committed suicide while on accutane, got in a tiny fight with his dad then blew his head off with a shotgun.

but his acne was ridiculous, mine is bad but his was honestly ridiculous.
