I have suffered from acne since a teenager(now in my late twenties). My top tips to reduce acne are: use a mild cleanser for sensitive skin(with aloe vera in) and finish with a splash of water from the sink, with a couple of drops of lavender pure essential oil in. I also use 5% benzoyl perioxide gel on spots. And if you are female ask your doctor about going on the pill as this also improved my acne.

Hey - I had not thought about going on the pill... I'll have to check that out. Thanks for sharing that with me.
