I have quite bad acne on my face and on my back. I also have it on my chest. I have tried almost everything and nothing seems to really work. What is a really good product that i can use?

Hi,

I suffered from acne for years.

I went on the pill - it worked but as soon as I stopped my acne returned and I got oilier skin. The health scares regarding taking the pill for a long time scared me, so I decided not to go back on it.

I used ProActive - again this worked while I was using it, it was quite harsh on my skin and occasionally I had dry flaky and red skin. I couldn't afford to use this all the time, when I stopped my acne returned.

The best treatment I found was Top Shirley Medicated Cream - it was very gently, is almost like a chalky cream which I massaged into my face for two minutes morning and night. I saw instant results and even when I stopped using it the results lasted. I no longer use the cream purely because I don't have too. I highly recommend this to anyone suffering from acne.

• If you're female and say 15+ you might want to think about a birth control pill, seeing as your acne is probably hormonal and on your body as well. There are various pills used for acne such as yaz, yasmin, cilest etc. Just don't take Dianette/Diane 35 because it can make everything 10000x worse when you come off it.
• No joke. Products do not actully contain a spot removal formula they just contain a spot defender type formula, Well most of them do anyway.
  I HIGHLY! recommend going to the doctors over your acne and they will prescribe a antibiotic spot removal. Its very very very! effective and if your a student or on benefits i believe it is free.
  
  If you want to use home remedies, i did try the old wives tale in where you apply toothpaste to your spot leave over night then wash off in the morning. Believe it or not its rather effective. But be warned it may dry out your skin. But it didn't for me.
  
  Hope i Helped
