I’m not going to write a ton of stuff about the types of treatments out there, and how people get spots etc. I’m just going to tell you what I used that got rid of my severe acne after 16 years of trying every medication, potion and lotion under the sun.
P8N8 Multi Vita Sensitive Serum (one squirt on bare skin every night and day for 10 months, switching to just at night for winter, then finally to whenever I get the odd spot now and then).
It’s pricey (£22) but, dayam, it worked. It totally worked.
Website is www.p8n8.co.uk (product link is http://oochi.biz/p8n8/products.php?cat_id=4 )

Just a little rant. I am FED UP with the stupid acne advice given by doctors, magazines, friends, etc etc. They don’t understand the problem (you have to starve the bacteria causing the acne AND soothe the skin AND allow the skin to heal all at the same time). Doctors just go through the motions of roll-on stuff followed by birth control pill followed by retin-a (or retinova) followed by accutane. None of it solves the problem, and in the case of accutane the side effects aren’t worth it and it doesn’t stop acne happening again (if you took it and it worked for you then that’s because within the 7 years it took for your skin to go back to normal the cause for your acne went away naturally.)
It really is bloody simple. Reduce the oil (no moisturiser until it clears up), don’t put anything harsh on the skin and don’t reinfect the skin by using old towels or sleeping on unclean pillowcases. Why didn’t anyone tell me this 16 years ago?!?
