Just start with a simple nondrying face wash or cleanser bar. Pick one you like with no Fragrance. Cerave, cetaphil, and Olay sensItive are good. Use a simple moisturizer with no Fragrance. It doesn't have to be fancy - I actually use aveeno body lotion! But you could use cerave, cetaphil, olay. Pick one that feels good on your skin. Wash and moisturize your face twice a day. Don't scrub too hard and use cool or warmish water not hot.Add in a light exfoliating treatment that will help prevent acne. AHA is gentle and you can actually get it as amlactin at the store. Give it fourweeks. If that doesn't work completely, try adding in a pea size of benzoyl peroxide all over your face.The important thing to realize is to go slow and be patient. You can't "dry out" your acne. That's not how acne works and dry skin can make acne worse. I wish someone had told me that when I was 13! Keep your skin healthy and moisturized or he treatments you put on it won't work!

These are the tips I gave my 13 year old brother and they worked for him
