   it seems like you have skin that is prone to dryness. there fore i suggest spot treatments: only putting medication on the acne..not all over your face
   hydrogen peroxide works the best for me: it takes out the bacteria and gets rid of redness
   because you have dry skin you should get the medicated face cream from clearsil bc it will moisturize your face and attack the acne at the same time
   if not…i have a friend who got laser acne treatment and its totally gone now

   PIMPLES
   Pimples is a unique skin disorder.Pimples are lesions that occur when the skin’s pores are obstructed or infected.They can form for a variety of reasons.However,the mechanism involved in causing some pores to collapse and block drainage of natural oils is not really understood. Pimples may also crop up for genetic reasons. It is not clear how it can be inherited from one’s parents, but studies do indicate a high occurrence of pimples in children whose parents had it,too.
   The pimples associated with adolescence almost certainly occur because of hormonal changes that take place during puberty. Both males and females get an overdose of the male hormone testosterone during this period,causing excessive generation of sebaceous fluids that invariably cause pimples.

   GIVEN BELOW ARE A FEW SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES TO FIGHT PIMPLES.

   1.The most basic form of pimple prevention is hygiene and preventive skin care. Regular washing of the affected areas with mild soap is a must.The soap need not necessarily contain any chemicals designed to prevent pimples .However, face washing should not be overdone or the skin will become dehydrated .

   2.Care should be taken on makeup,moisturizers and other skin care products.If these products are oil based,it would just make the problem worse. Use water based products instead.

   3.Generally we rub, press or squeeze our pimples.Don’t when we do this,we risk spreading the bacteria to other areas.

   4.Lemon juice diluted in water can be applied externally because of its antiseptic
   quality.

   5.Tea Tree oil can also be applied directly to infected pores.

   6.Vitamin A tablets are also a natural and effective cure. Vitamin A promotes healthy skin.

   7.Before bathing, apply a mixture of fresh tomato pulp, honey and rose-water to your face and keep for twenty minutes before washing off.

   8.Juice of raw papaya is the best treatment for pimples.Apply fresh juice of raw papaya on pimples and get a good result.

   9.Directly rub potato slices all over the face, helps to get rid of blemishes and
   pimple scar.

   10.Drink plenty of water and vegetable or fruit juices.

   11.Use cucumber or other fruit and vegetable packs to cure pimple scars.

   12.Maintain a diet that is rich in cottage cheese, salads, fresh juices, fish and
   yogurt.These help to cleanse your system and ward off pimples.

   13.Another overnight home remedy for pimples is to put a dab of toothpaste on it to help dry it out. Calamine lotion also will have the same drying effect.

   14.Pound orange peel with water and apply to affected areas.

   15.Another useful remedy for pimples is zinc. Which can be taken in a dose of 50 mg daily for a month and then reduce the dose.

   16.You can clean your skin with apple cider vinegar as an overnight home pimple remedy.

   17.Aspirin contains Beta hydroxy acid which is a powerful defoliant ,so you can crush 1to 2 Aspirin tablets mix with a little water and apply on pimples for 15 minutes and wash.

   Finally,certain medications may temporarily alter the hormonal changes prevalent during adolescence and cause pimple outbreaks. If this is the case, a simple adjustment in medication may be all that is required.
