Nothing

Out of all the things I've tried, BP 5% has kept me the most clean.
The cons of using BP though are the irritation, flakiness and redness (my pretty much whole face is sun damaged, so, the redness was pretty severe) - that's why I only use it as spot treatment these days.

I haven't found my cure yet and sometimes I'm doubtful if I will ever find one; I hope time will take care of my acne.

That definately sounds familiar :/ i get told pretty much daily that i look "sunburnt" or "RED" so im going to focus of UV light ray treatment so my skin wont be so damaged :/

used everything, nothing has ever worked.i just voted for minocycline becuase it actually did work for a few months back when i had mild acne.

I'm on my second week of doxy at the moment... and so far it's working better than anything I've tried.

You missed a big one: improving your diet.

I was just about to mention that!!

[Randomstuffs261]

I agree actually , changing your diet is extremely important being part of health in general. Just wish i could change the poll

I wasn't on Accutane long enough to remember the results, but Minocycline controls mine better than the others did (went from moderate to mild).

I use a honey and cinnamon mask every other day and have started eating less sugar, no processed foods, no dairy, and more vegetables. Doing this has helped my face out SOOOO MUCH!!! oh and i soak lettuce in a bowl overnight and then in the morning after i wash my face i spalsh my face with the water and i dont know why but it helps . Oh and last thing try to use all natural makeup but make sure there is no zea mays in it cause acne bacteria LOVES it and it will make you break out!!!!!!!!!

Diet is what cleared me. None of those prescription meds ever helped. But I chose salycilic acid as I think it is the most beneficial and least harmful thing you can do of those choices.

Sulfur?

[davidtheskinking]

I've used a lot of things,

Tea tree oil
aloe vera
coconut oil
water
salt

You name it!

Honestly though, it all helped... I cannot say which is best.

I have found that for different people different things work better though.

It's based on your skin and the current state of it's health I think.

Everyone is different!
