A friend recommended AHA/BHA exfoliating deep cleanser by COSMEDICS . It is enhanced with Tea Tree Oil & Green Tea Extract. When used daily it works well. It also helps with oily skin in general. I bought it from Amazon

Acne, folliculitis for me has one cure... isotretinoin (AKA Accutane) in a low dose about 20mg Per week. I've had breakouts my entire life chest, back and face, scalp. This is the only remotely effective cure that I've found.
Because it can cause birth defects, it isn't for everyone and requires strict adherence to the ipledge program. See a dermatologist and see if it is an option.

Don't eat sugar at all

Never had the problem of acne, sorry

Tea tree oil. Magic stuff. I used to use wipes from a company called "Desert Essence."

It's strong and can sting and dry out skin; might not be for use every day, or in combination with other products.

Witch hazel for toner.

Acne can be the result of any number of issues. Hormonal, the use of pore clogging face care products, bad diet and or internal imbalances. A few things can be done to manage it. Clay masks are one way; they detox the skin by drawing out impurities. Just be aware that clay will also dry out your skin so use sparingly. Tea Tree Oil can also be used to kill any infection that there is; products that have glycolic acid, salicylic acid or vitamin c in them, they exfoliate and help prevent pore clogging and again use sparingly; try and include the daily use of probiotics (internal) because they will help balance the good/bad bacteria in your gut which can affect the skin. Also check to see that your skin care products are non-comodegenic (non pore clogging). Daily cleansing will help remove dirt and oil that can block the pores. Last but not least try to drink sufficient amounts of water, daily. This also will de- tox the body as well as hydrate. Hope this is helpful.

Eat a clove of raw garlic just before bedtime (to spare your friends the smell during the day). This often clears up skin overnight, but if done routinely, will keep skin clear.

Add vegetable juice, or other fresh, raw food to your diet. You get acne when your body gets too acidic.

Limit processed food, skip sodas.

Get outside for a walk in the sunshine.

I've never had acne and I've never used a mask.

Egg yolks work better than any treatment I ever tried. I had extreme acne as a teenager, like on a commercial, it was bad. My mom read it in Ann Landers and I tried it. It heals your skin and makes it soft and even. Separate the yolk and let it dry on your face for 10 minutes once a day seriously. I tell people about it all the time. I don't have a big problem with this any more but still use them once in a while if I get a blemish, or just want my skin to look nice.

Try applying a warm/hot wet wash cloth to the area.

Yes, clay will draw out the infection , but you must let it dry completetly.

I use a face scrub of a baking soda paste then use a diluted unfiltered ACV.

if it does you no goood it will do you no harm you can buy fullers earth and make that into a paste.

I don't see how it would help, unless it has an antibiotic in it.

I had terrible acne as a teenager - the only thing that cleared it up was antibiotics. When summer came and I was outside all day at our family cottage, sunlight cleared it up as well... I was told it was the disinfecting qualities of ultraviolet rays that did it.

Growing up I had terrible acne and the only thing that helped was proactive. As an adult I had some wonderful years of acne free bliss but now I'm getting black heads again more and more. I've found an activated charcoal mask with benotine and aloe has been working wonders, though it is horrifically painful to peel off. (There's something oddly satisfying about ripping the flesh from your face off LMAO)

My skin was very oily and I'd break out ALL the damn time. Then I cleared up for a while, and then I got pregnant and my skin thought it was 13 again, each time. After kids I'd have occasional breakouts. Now past menopause OMG is my skin dry, but I rarely break out. I'm pretty sure if I had a better diet and better habits as a teen my skin would have been much better.

Used to have problems - now have dry skin. Never heard of it. Vitamin E used to help when I had adult acne.

I suffered with acne as a child and tried everything. Clearasil, Stry-Dex, Egg masks, prescriptions. It was only when I send to Air Force basic training and was required to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day that my face finally cleared up. It might not work for everyone, but it did for me.

Nope. The little acne I had got treated with prescription drugs and some alcohol based lotion.
