Post What should i use now (easy to reply to)

Hey all, just a couple questions. But first: my situation.

When i first got acne, it was RIGHT when I hit puberty really early in grade 7. It was really bad on my forehead, but in grade 8 it got somewhat better. Finally, I went to my doctor to help it out, and he gave me Tetracyclin and Differin gel to use. They worked so well and my face was completely clear for about 6 months until I ran out of the stuff and my acne came back quicker than I could get a refill. After it came back the Tetracyclin and differin didn't work.

Right now I'm on Benzac and my face is fairly bad. I've been on it for a few months and its not really working. I'd say inbetween mild and moderate. Luckily my zits are always pretty small and never have whiteheads--but still--all these old zits healing is making my face look really bad.

My doc says if this doesnt work (which it isnt really) I should go on the dreaded accutane (lol), but I'm not really ready for it. My question is what else is available for me to try for my acne. thx a lot.

I'm going to suggest more natural ideas... I'm tired of expensive drugs that have side effects. I havnt done this but I likely will in the near future. Garlic. Research it on the internet.. basically cut a garlic piece in half and smear it on your face twice a day and in a couple weeks you should have good results. Look on this board for more information.,

I also recommend 100% clear aloe vera gel.

thx for the advice but i was sorta looking for prescriptions stuff...I don't wanna resort to smearing garlic on my face.

Anyone have any products to reccomend? I'm sure there can't be just 3 out there for my type of acne. thx again
