Acne has been slowly tearing me apart these past two years. I am no longer the person that I was before. I used to be able to approach girls, but now I can't even bear make eye contact with any because I don't want them to see my face. My social life is basically gone and I chose to not go out with friends or go to any social events anymore because I don't want to be seen like this. I really want it to go back to before all the acne came so I can enjoy life and work on my game.
Would anyone care to share how they overcame acne? Using creams and sticking to a schedule for washing my face won't work because acne is an internal problem and I've already tried that. And there is no way i am going to do accutane, that sh1t will destroy your body.

I know this is an old thread but I had moderate acne up until a few years ago. I used the regimen found on http://www.acne.org/ and it worked the best out of anything I tired.

I got a doctor's prescription because none of the over-the-counter crap worked too well and it always burned my face. I take 30 mg of minocycline with 1% clindamycin phosphate and 5% benzoyl peroxide. I was supposed to take one pill a day and put on the clindamycin phosphate and benzoyl peroxide twice a day at first and I stopped getting more acne after like 3 days. Then my face began to heal so much quicker because of that and after 2 weeks there was a very considerable difference. My acne pretty much disappeared at one point (about 4 to 6 weeks after first usage) and after that I stopped using everything. 3 days later I get a big pimple lol. So now I use it all the time, but I only use the cream and gel once a day instead of twice.

This was prescribed by a doctor though, you cannot get this any other way. Doctor prescribed acne control is extremely strong stuff, but it doesn't burn either.

After that, the only known 'cure' for all acne regardless no matter your genetics is isotretinoin, but that is also doctor prescribed and can have some bad and dangerous side effects so they have to monitor you very closely. About 2/3 of people who take isotretinoin never take it ever again because they never get acne ever again either.

Anyways, doctor prescribed stuff is the way to go if you are able to. If not, tough luck then I dunno what to tell you after that.
