What is the best treatment for moderate, persistent acne?

I'm a 14 year old boy and I have a moderate case of acne. What's the best treatment for this?

  • I have acne on my chin, and both sides of my face. It's mainly red, a few whiteheads here and there but I only have blackheads on my nose. Proactiv doesn't work for me and I recently started using AcneFree but I found out it's an adult acne system. I am desperate to find something that will suit me. Everything works for me right away then fades or stops working after a while. I see Neutrogena has a ton of products and I don't really want to buy them all and figure which one's the best from there. Please someone tell me what's the best acne treatmen for early teenagers. Thanks!

  • Answer:

    See your dermatologist for suggestions. Be patient all teens go through acne. Look at this as a way to make yourself stronger. Dont try and cover up the acne because this will only draw attention to your face. Ask your parents if they had acne. If yes then accept the fact that its your turn. Dont waste your money on acne medication.

I am allergic to benzoyl proxide (in Proactive and other products) and I use a product called Murad! (I'm a 14 yr old girl) and it keeps my fresh clear and pretty. The webby is www.murad.com and it's in the acne section. It works really well and my bro uses it too and works great for him too! Hope I helped! : - ) --- Mypupinky

At this age it is quite normal. You have to wash your face quite often and keep it clean. secondly do not tamper/ fiddle with the acne which is also quite normal but you have to keep your hands off. otherwise you will get a permanent black spot. thirdly keeping yourself awake late night also will trigger to get more.

Hi Garrett! I'm so glad I saw your question. My son also used to break out. Proactive even made it worse. Anyway, as a very last resort I purchased a product called "Nature's Cure" I did not expect it to work at all. and neither did he. But, honestly, within two weeks there was a significant difference. Within a month his skin looked 90% better. I highly recommend it (my son would too!). Here's the web site (we bought it at a local drug store... CVS, but they also carry it at Target). http://www.naturescure.com

Acne and pimples is one of the most distressing and depressing problems faced mostly by youngsters. Soak cotton wool in mint juice, and apply every day. Mix cinnamon powder with lime juice to make a fine paste, Apply on pimples. Check out http://useinfo-acne.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.

Speak to a physician about Accutane. It's the only product that really works on severe acne, but you need to use it under a doctor's care. Good Luck ED
