It's not natural, but I use Clinique Acne 3-step and it works great. I get breakouts every so often and use this and it really gets rid of the pimples. They also carry a body spray with sacylic acid in it and I use that on my back. They carry a large line of acne products that work great.

My 16yr old niece and 13 yr old nephew also use this line and have nothing but good things to say.

Also, even though your skin is prone to breakouts, you need to remember to moisturize. I would suggest going to one of the counters at a larger upscale department store and getting a consult. You can also ask for trial samples and see how the products work.

I'm sure you've already noticed that all acne products seem to be pricey and depending on the brand, they can be available at your local drug store or ordered online.

I have used the Clinque step 3 system, and was very effective. However, my skin was sensitve to the toner and eventually I stoped using due to price and sensitivity.

I now use the Mary Kay formula 3 line, for oily/acne prone skin. This stuff is great and doesn't irritate my skin. It too is pricey. But I surf online for best buys.

Good Luck!
