   Rx Retin A, Benzol Peroxide 10%, some sulfur drugs (clearasil) if you can find it, salycilic acid 2% or 2.5%, Meds can be layered and best to use Retin A first, the follow with other meds, there are Rx strength meds with combinations of retin a and benzol peroxide, Aldapene and there’s one other combination Rx, Also, topical antibiotics, like cleocin, and or oral antibiotics. Some acne is cystic acne, pustules under the skin, can feel more than see them some acne leaves terrible scars that chem peels or laser can help later when acne settles down. Hormones big contributor. don’t use triclosan soap, antibacterial soaps, perfumed or deodorant soaps. clean cell phone , keyboard and wash hands. See a board certified cosmetic dermatologist.

   Hey I think that Clinique will really help you.. I have been using it for several months now, and my skin is slowly becoming better. It does not dry out your skin, also if your skin is red, the redness disappears… One day i decided to use a tomato toner from burts bees and my face became kind of red so i used clinique and it became back to normal.. also here is a helpful website that i thought was good too. http://www.aolhealth.com/healthy-living/beauty-skin-care/acne-treatment it basically tells you the good products and bad products to use or not to use.

   bad
   proactiv
   good
   clinique
   tea tree oil
   etc.

   good luck

   Well,I do have terrible acne and I found that my skin type is sensitive skin and it makes me harder to find the right products that I could use to reduce my acne.That is when I tried Clinique 3 Steps Skincare Regime and it really works for my acne and now I have less breakouts after 3 months usage and I only need to work on my scars from my previous acne to improve my skin complexion.Since Clinique 3 Steps works for all skin types,I would recommend you to try this product since it has the basics of skincare regime and work wonders on your skin.However,you could also try these homemade remedies if you want to improve your chance of healing.Good luck trying these at home(:

   Honey Paste-Another easy and effective homemade acne treatment is to make a paste of honey with cinnamon and nutmeg. All you need is about one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and about half of it nutmeg powder. Add some honey to make enough paste to cover the inflammed area completely. Just lie down as honey may dribble down. Wait for 10 to 15 minutes and wash with luke warm water.

   Orange peel-Homemade Acne Treatment using Orange peel has been found very effective. Pound the orange peel with water on a piece of stone and apply to acne affected areas.

   Basil tea-Basil tea like neem is effective in killing bacteria. Drinking it twice a day can do wonders to the skin.

   Coconut Oil-Coconut oil is a cheap and easily available acne solution. Regular use of coconut oil over a period of time helps to clear your skin.

   Lemon Juice-A simple remedy at home for acne: Apply lemon juice regularly to reduce pimples and acne. This has proven beneficial results.

   Good luck for your visit to the dermatologist.I’m sure that your derm could really help your skin condition.Hope I helped and great skin wishes(:
