What have you guys tried and what would you reccomend.

Also no acutane or hard drugs since its not worth it.

really the only acne I get is by my chin, never on my cheeks and very very minimal on my forehead, but since my brother and sister both had acne pretty bad, I just mooch off their proactive. Works well for me.

there are so many fucking acne threads on 4chan

the jist of it:
drink a gallon of water every day, cut out soda
exercise regularly (sweat profusely = open pores)
get a tan
don't touch your face, ever
wash twice daily with a salicylic acid scrub and moisturize with an oil-free moisturizer
use 2.5% benzoyl peroxide on individual pimples each night

low dose is fine, just borrow your mom's/sister's. remember, only eat the 'fun ones' and leave them with the different colored ones for wk 4.

Go to the store, buy benzoyl peroxide. If you're lazy, stuff a shitton of Zinc and Selenium pills in your mouth every day. There's even a cocktail of vitamins put into dietary supplements such as Acneva.

Homemade solution: Put like 6 aspirins in a small cup with the slightest drop of water. Let it all dissolve, then put on face. It's the same thing as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. (They're biproducts of aspirin)

This helped me a lot in my mid-teenage years back when my hormones went all out in full force.

Oh and toothpaste is also an astringent. Smear on and leave overnight. (You won't be able to keep your eyes open with the vapors.) It also makes your skin whiter which is a plus since you're probably red as a beet from the acne.

What? You've got to be fucking kidding me. That shit is basically guaranteed.

I'm assuming that OP is a guy, so I'm going to suggest that you use start using Neutrogena or Clinique For Men, along with Stridex cleansing pads (maximum strength in the red can) and prescription creams like Benzaclin or Differin. Plus exercising and lots of water.

OP probably doesn't have insurance. Also side-effects. It may cause depression/irritability/rage.

i had acne since i was like 13, at 20 i was going to go on accutane after getting sick of the shit

anyways, read the side effect stuff, thought FUCK that

found the "dip method" on an acne forum, and it got rid of my acne on my face (i still have some on my back but i can live w/that). im 22 now and no acne on my face except tiny little bits if i dont dip

dip method:

get a basin and fill it with hot water, hot enough to turn your face reddish

put your face into the water for 3-5 minutes, take breaths when needed.

(this step opens your pores and lets the hot water fill them up and clean them out. you can move your face around in the water to help water circulation)

empty hot water and fill basin with cold water. dip again for like 60 seconds to help close the pores again a bit.

do this 2-3 times a day. you're face will feel much cleaner after just 1 dip, and you'll see results pretty fast.

in addition to dipping, stop smearing your face with irritating chemicals. i used that bullfuck for like 8 years and it doesn't do shit. go natural, baby

Accutane is barely linked to depression, and the worst side effects 99% of people will get are chapped lips and dry skin.

I use a hand-made soap that has French clay and some lemon juice... seems to work really well for me though admittedly my acne is really mild at best.
