I am a 17 year old girl and have been struggling with acne for a while now. I have what I think is closed comedones. They are skin colored and small, but aaaaalllllll over my forehead and around my mouth. Some are also on my cheeks. I think I have oily skin because when I get farther into the day all my forhead is shiny and my nose and chin. I just bought Neutrogena's Clear Pore cleanser/ mask and am using Finacea gel as my topical treatment. I have been using Finacea for a little over a week now. I was on proactive for a while but then I decided to stop because it had stopped working for me. Since then my comedones have been getting worse. I tried cetaphil as a cleanser but it didn't do much or anything for my acne. Once I got on Finacea after a couple of days I switched cetaphil to the Neutrogena one. I use Finacea morning and night including the Clear Pore cleanser. I was wondering if these products will help with my type of acne and if so when should I be seeing results? I heard Finacea takes about two weeks to work. I also read that sulfur would be good for my type of acne. Is that true as well? I would reallly appreciate feedback or suggestions! I feel like nothing will work with my type of acne. It looks so horrible :( I've tried so many things!!! Help!

I have the same problem! Closed comedones pop up all over my skin. I can't stand it. Birth control helped mine & when I stopped taking it I got them horrible again. I'm finally back on the pill and still trying to clear them up. I have found exfoliating helps. Have you tried st Ives Apricot scrub? You have to be gentle because it's very abrasive but it has helped me. Also I ordered the glycolic cleanser from Aqua Glycolic and that has helped my skin too(forehead is much smoother)Def. Not perfect but have seen some improvements. Hope this helps :)
