I battled with severe acne for 5 years. It was so horrible that people bullied and disgusted me. I tried all the remedies and treatments anyone could imagine and it only made my face worse. Here are the products, remedies, and procedures that I have used that worked for a while or did not at all: - oatmeal soap - instant oatmeal (rubbed on the face and set for a while) - lime juice (rubbed on the face and set for a while) - tomatoes (rubbed on the face and set for a while) - Kojie San Soap - Rohto Acnes creamy wash - Rohto Acnes gel - Rohto Acnes cream - Ponds facial wash - Ponds facial scrub - facial treatment (IT WAS A WASTE OF $$$ AND MADE MY FACE A WHOLE LOT WORSE) - hot water wash After all those years of agony, shame, bullying, mockery, I finally found a solution that worked for me and I have been sticking to it still. I now just wash my face with cold water, sometimes ice water. Just that. Then when I go out, I use La Roche Posay sunblock and at night, La Roche Posay Lipikar Baume. Some people call this the caveman regimen but after digging more information about it, I don´t think it fits the method. My journey in finding this regimen will be another post. Have you or are you currently battling with acne? Share your story and let´s talk in the comments section.

@jamiemill I'm sorry for that. I would love to help with some advice, but I never had that problem.The only thing I can tell you is,do not pay attention to what people are saying or doing. People will always talk. Always. Even if you do not have acne,they would find something else. Cheer up! Do not let your self-confidence loose!!

Thanks! My skin is actually better and clear now because of my current regimen. It made me realize how putting less products on my skin can do great things. :D

I did because I was just so desperate. I was not thinking of the harm it can do to my skin before using it, which made it a whole lot worse. But now I´m perfectly fine with just water.

I had acne a lot growing up, but don't remember what I used for it. I still get it a little bit now when the weather changes. But now I just leave it alone.

I have acne when I am a teenager but now that I am older I seldom get that.It is better to wash your face with a mild soap and then use a toner and cleanser and acne cream.
