Try these home remedies for acne:





鈥ash the face twice daily with a tea of calendula officinalis,





鈥ix 1 teaspoon lemon juice with 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder. Apply this paste on the pimples and wash it after 20 minutes with warm water. Repeat for two weeks,





鈥se aloe vera juice on the pimples morning and night for as long as necessary (perhaps five months or longer).





鈥ake orange peel paste by grinding it in some water. Apply on and around pimples.





鈥ub garlic on and around pimples.





鈥pply fresh mint juice over the face every night for the treatment of pimples.

Try the milk of magnesia product...they say it works especially for cystic acne and eczema.
ohh have you tired benzyol peroxide? I used to have the worst skin and i started to try ';benzac'; that contained 12% benzyol peroxide my skin started to clear within a couple of days :)
have you taken accutane?
Make an oatmeal paste. Use the original kind, not the packets. Mix it with water until it forms a sticky paste. Apply it to your face like a mask. Let it dry. It will be messy and itchy. But it will draw out all the dirt and oil out of your pores. Rinse it off. Then use Witch Hazel as a toner with a cotton ball.





I hope this helps.





Best wishes.
You are not going to the right dermatologist.
I wasted alot of money on dermatologists but finally my kitchen was the real drug store:-). N this answer has been used not just by me but many on the yahoo answers n they have thanked me coz it helped them alot.





I would suggest u something better---


Put toothpaste on acnes over night(the one with peroxide or mint works best). After u wash it, moisturise ur face coz it makes the skin dry.





Use a good acne medication twice a day.





Use clay mask or fuller's earth mask twice a week.





Crush neem/mint leaves n put them on acnes for 30 mins everyday.





Splash hot warm water on face for 1 minute n then wipe it with towel. Put heated honey or half spoon honey +4 drop tea tree oil for 15 minutes- do it twice a day.





Dats what helped me :-) good luck
