Do any of you have any advice on how to clear up acne?

I know most of you are not probably teenagers yet and haven't really experienced acne problems. But for the teenagers my age or around my age, what is your advice? Do you have a special way to get rid of acne? I'm asking you personally. I've been trying Aloe Gel, it seems to have done a lot of help. I'm also exercising, cleansing my face regularly, etc. But my acne keeps popping out, any advice will be appreciated. . .

I don't have much acne but I bought these salicylic acid pad things and all you do is rub the pad all over your acne once or twice a day and it seemed to work pretty well. Don't eat chocolate. Drink water.

Eat healthy and don't touch your face. Oh and showers. 2-3 times a day.

@Zoey I barely eat chocolate, but I'll try to look into the acid pads you meantioned. Thanks.

@chewy My diet is pretty healthy from the looks of it. And I always touch my face, but I always make sure my hands are clean, but I'll have to stop, that may be a big reason my acne is flarring up often. Also,   I do shower 2-3 times a day.

Thanks a bunch.

Your acne will vanish when your body says no more acne. Until then you can only reduce the acne, but it will probably not fully disappear.

I usually shower twice. Sometimes more. Is that unusual?

You should always wash your face and when you sweat, you should wipe it as quickly as possible so you don't become oily.

^ That. Go see a dermatologist, they will consult you with some stuff that can clear up acne.
Also Imo diets don't work. Your missing out on awesome food... sure some of them give you spots but only if you constantly eat stuff like fries etc...
Water only really helps with skin hydration, it doesn't actually do anything to acne.
Okay look this is normal, not every teenager has acne during growing up because of their hormones acting differently, I think you should just see a dermatologist, and Keep cleansing your skin, If your a boy I don't know if you wanna try this but I use a cleanser for removing make up and it also keeps my skin really clean and ever since I been using it my skin has been really clear and hydrated,
Moral of my post = Diets don't count, keep drinking water, and cleanse the skin Oh and exfoliators are good too

Eat healthy and don't touch your face. Oh and showers. 2-3 times a day.

Actually, that's very very bad. When you shower a layer of your skin called the "horny layer" (as in, pertaining to the element of a horn, nothing to do with arousal) is removed/damaged and your skin needs time to repair this. If you shower 2-3 times a day your skin won't have time to heal and will only make it worse ( http://health.howstuffworks.com/skin-ca … -skin1.htm ).

As TGT and DK said, you can't actually stop it, just decrease/prevent more. Hormones will cause you to keep having acne, some more than others.

A friend of mine used to use benzoyl peroxide ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzoyl_peroxide ) which is pretty aggressive stuff but seems to have good results. You can probably buy this at your local pharmacy.

*EDIT*

Oh and as other said, your diet makes a difference. I never have acne but if I touch chocolate or peanbutter my face explodes :/

This. Benzoyl peroxide is what I used to get rid of (or atleast reduce a substantial amount) my acne. It works wonders.

Re: Do any of you have any advice on how to clear up acne?

Well, to get rid of acne you need to know how acne is formed. By dirt getting in the pores of your skin. Mainly your face, because it's the most exposed.

Don't touch your face,
Wash your face when you wash your hands,
Don't get your face dirty.

If you've been a commando about all that and you still have acne, use a product. I've never had a problem with acne, so I wouldn't know which acne medication works the best.

I'd refrain from using one, though, because it's not a very healthy choice to rub that acid on your face 2+ times a day, despite what the commercials tell you.

Yeah, well, you know that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

Witch hazel works for me. I'm not obsessed about my looks enough to see a dermatologist, but every day (that I don't forget) I take a cotton ball, douse it with witch hazel, and pad it on my face. And the stuff smells good, too.

I shower once. Sometimes I go a whole day without showering.

so yes, yes it is.

Agreed. My usual shower schedule is
M-F: Once a day, at 9PM
S: generally don't shower, unless I choose not to shower on sunday, in which case I shower around 10
SUN: Shower at night, 9PM, regardless of whether I showered in the morning for church or not.
