I am 23 years old and I never had a problem with acne until this year. I think it is attributed to stress,the pollution in the city I live in, bad eating habits, and not drinking enough water. I have tried numerous acne medications including clearsil,avenno clear complexion, acnefree (cheaper version of proactive), neutrogena,birth control pills, and murad. I find that murad is the best for me. Clearsil did not work at all, aveeno help my skin tone but not getting rid of the blemishes, acnee free dried my skin and made breakouts worse, and birthcontrol pills make me sick. I found Murad and I was skeptical at first but I started to see results in days and I haven't had a breakout since I started. My old blemishes are fading away also and best of all the offer you a money back guarantee. The worst part about using Murad is it can only be ordered online or by phone so you have to wait for it but it usually comes fast and it is kind of expensive ($29.95 for a 30 day supply). Murad uses the active ingredient salicylic acid and with the 30 day supply, you get cleanser, treatment gel, skin perfecting lotion,clarifying mask, and acne spot treatment.
I think if you are having a problem with acne you should determine the causes of your acne and your skin type before making any investments in skincare products or go to your dermatologist if you have the funds.
Let me know what you think or if you had any good or bad experiences with these medications.

avoid washing you face with soap, wash two or three times a day with cold water, cold water is very good for skin, i tried several medications to get rid of my acne but non of them worked, i never went in my life at the dermatologist , i believed that time will help me get rid of acne and yes, it did, but having acne at 23 years it's a problem that should have a cure !

Have you tried www.myzeno.com it was on the tyra banks show. I've never used it yet but if I need it I might order it.
I have tried using clindamycin phosphate lotion in the morning and Treinoin at night along with using just the murad cleanser. That helped clear it up some.
I've also tried a high frequency device called dermawand. It clears some pimples within 24 hours.
But what really worked for me was that I prayed and I asked God to heal me of the acne on my face and I told God to please get rid of the breakouts. I believe that he will heal me. Oh my goodness I should have prayed a long time ago. I'm not using anything but murad cleanser or velocity cleanser by mary kay. My face is not breaking out anymore. Every blue moon I break out, but I am not breaking out like I use to.
