Hi! I've had acne for about 6 years, and was hoping to find some help and advice. I tend to get pimples mainly around my mouth, chin area, and forehead. My cheeks have never really been a problem. I get mostly whiteheads and blackheads, and I have oily skin. I am 15 at the moment, but when I was 14, my acne was really starting to clear up. I was using the Oxy Benzoil Peroxide cleanser. Out of curiosity one day, I decided to switch to a Salycic Acid cleanser. This was the biggest mistake. My skin freaked out, and I started breaking out in a way I hadn't in a long time. I was scared, and switched back to my original cleanser, which no longer worked. My skin was so dry and flaky, putting makeup over it wouldn't even cover it up. Right now, I am on Proactiv +, which has helped some, but I still have multiple pimples on my face. My parents won't take me to the dermatologist, because of the expense. Also, this summer, I'm trying not to wear any foundation, except on special occasions, hoping that maybe that will help my acne clear up faster. I'm literally trying almost everything I can. I'm exercising daily, my diet is good, and I'm trying to drink more water, and be careful on my dairy intake. So, I could use all the advice I can get! Thanks so much. :-)
