Sorry I don't use medieval remedies.

Yes, mine was called Roaccutane.

Magic pill

Proactive did NOT work for me it was actually a waste of time and money .... but you guys/girls im telling you i used Acutane and regardless of what you heard about it (it being bad in terms of side-effects)it really worked for me, and as long as you follow what the dermatologist tells you to do you will see great results in 6 months and its GUARANTEED to give you no more breakouts in your life and ive been off of it for about a year now and no breakouts yet

Girl, provatice is Avril guaranteed. The end .....

Easy regimen for y'all. Trust me, I have beautiful skin.

Acne is horrible, but I've been clear for 5 years now. Proactiv is not a long-term solution.

Neutrogena Deep Clean Cleanser
Neutrogena Alcohol-Free Toner
Wait 1-2 mins (let the skin dry up a little bit from the toning)
Treat spots with 10% Benzoyl Peroxide
Wait until it is dry
Olay Complete Sensitive Skin Lotion SPF 15

Same regimen at night, feel free to use a night cream (just make sure it is non-comedogenic).
Some nights you can skip the moisturizing part because skin regenerates at night and you don't want to weaken it by "spoiling" with creams, etc. Makes healing faster.

Exfoliate 2-3 times a week with a gentle scrub (I like Loreal 360), but always moisturize after.

Don't obsess over it or get depressed or even use a bunch of stuff... less is more. Otherwise you get acne scars and pock marks.

Diet helps, but I don't think by much. However, drinking water gives you glow so hydrate as much as you can

ETA:

It took me 3-4 weeks to get my skin back to normal. And it wasn't until a year that I had the luxury to use more expensive brands since my skin was already in control. So it takes time.

oh sure, sure and Katy, and Jessica Simpson, and Justin Beiber NO! you shouldnt trust a company that uses famous people to sell a product..... correct me if im wrong because i forgot but isnt it like bandwagon advertising?? yeah Proactive = *PPPPPPT!* =p

Accutane works, however your skin becomes so sensitive and get scars EASILY. I wouldn't recommend it to be honest. Hormones go up and down and I think it's better if the person develops a hygiene that works for them. A lot of my friends who've used Accutane have suffered from this. There's only one thing that truly works without much side-effects and that is BENZOYL PEROXIDE.

I hate dry skin.

I never had problems with acne, really. The acne I did have was extremely mild but there were strangely big pimples. I used acne treatment but it was never a big deal, so that was good.

My only awkward physical changes were really probably my teeth. My teeth grew really weirdly, and I had a really long term with braces. Then when I got them off, I had to get them on for another year or whatever because my I ruined my teeth. Not pleasant.

I'm 17 and I've always been acne-free, friends and family say I have a baby face

Girl I am the same! I had braces and acne, you can only imagine. The worst part is that I completely stopped going to the dentist and one by one the brackets fell off () and when I went back and had them removed my teeth looked completely busted I got them fixed again but I ended up wanting to not have them look too perfect, I think some character is good. I'd like to have Britney's teeth/smile though.

Oh and I'm not sure if this counts here but I use to drink a lot and been to rehab when I was a teen. I was such a rebel back then
