    Acutane has so many risks though. Girls have to sign a contract saying they'll go on birth control and that they'll have an abortion if they get pregnant. Its really extreme and can make teen aged depression even worse. I'm using proactive.

    Clearasil worked really well for me in my early teens (that's when I had the most zits). I also recommened drinking plenty of water, avoid fatty foods... My face always clears up when I do this.

    I'm not saying I have perfect skin, I have pimples around my hairline! I'm guessing it's because of the natural oils in the hair.

    If you get pimples around the sides of your face, tie your hair up. It prevents the ends of your hair from irritating your skin (helps prevents zits on chins and cheeks from layered hair)

    Go to the drug store and get either a cream/gel of Benzol peroxide (2-5%) or one with SA (cant speel it sorrty the A stands for acid) and follow the instuctions for about a month. If oyu have sensitive skin i suggest SA but BP is Pretty harsh on your skin, it works but if you have sensitive skin it might not handle it. They can really clear up your skin alot!

    i know this is weird but someone said to try it and I did, if u live somewhere cold go outside cuz i guess the cold does somthing to ur pores and helps get rid of acne, no idea if it was that , that helped me but it might be worth a try

    Eat healthy.

    It is the only natural way that doesn't involve drugs. I have bettered my diet alot, cutting out sugar, eating less bread, healthier oils and more fruit and veggies and now my pimples have really made a significant change. I used to have my back COVERED, no its only faint, like very pale scabs, instead of pus and blood acne everywhere.
    As long as I remember to wash my face I now look a LOT better.

    ok this is prolly pretty weird lol but it works for me and its super natural, well i don't have horrible acne but i do break out alot and i just take some lemon juice( you know it comes in those lemon looking thingss) and i use a cotton ball and rubb it all over my face once or twice a day, i guess its the citrus that worked i dunno lol but its easy and then your face smells good too lol

    also i brush my teeth with it lol after i sue normal toothpaste, it helps make them alot whiter, lol

    hope i helped

    lots of love

    ok, i read in a magazine that instead of using hot water in the shower, use cold or lukewarm water instead. and hey, it has double benefits! it makes your hair shiny too! ;)

    does the lemon water work overnight or how long until the pimples are gone?

    Well I don't know about the lemon thing, the acids in fruit like that aren't good for your skin or teeth. Dries out your skin and wrots your teeth (or so I was told) but the cold/hot thing they were talking about: Well, if you have a hot spring or just excercise until you sweat your face off lol, it opens up your pours and the sweat or steam (depending ifyour excercising or just ina hot place like a sauna/hot spring) cleans out the dirt and dead skin cells that causes pimples. But make sure, after covered in sweat like that you wash your face with luke warm water - shampoo may be better than soap because it's PH balanced and won't dry out your skin- then pat dry with a COLD wet cloth to close your pours back up again.... Hope that makes sense - that's my welfare way to stay clean anyway lol. And positive to the sweat thing - you lose weight,or just stay fit as you were in the first place... and excercise is spose to help a chemical balance for a person and they're depression is helped - makes them happier with or without a depression problem... Anywho, tht's all for me. Good luck though!

    Bob, I would suggest something less extreme then your method first. Try sand papering LMAO. Just kidding!

    Oxy or Clearsil.

    But the best thing is to have a balanced diet, less junk food and soda. Wash your skin each morning and night with neutrogena acne liquid soap and have proper regular sleeping habits. Sleep does wonders for your skin.
