^^+1 many times. skip the clinique counter of the cosmetics department and go straight to the doctor. after a year or two of trying OTC remedies (including the acne.org remedy), i finally went to a GP who prescribed duac and then a dermatologist who prescribed retin A and I dont' get pimples any more. if i went an year or two earlier and i wouldnt have the scars i have now also if they prescribe you an antibiotic pill make sure to swallow it with lots of water. i swallowed it once w/o water cuz i was in a hurry and it got stuck and caused an ulcer in my esophagus. super super painful. could barely eat anything for a month. also get some good sunblock (i use spf 85. im not sure if theres such thing as over kill with sunscreen) also also if you use a good moisturizer with benzo you dont have to worry about flaking
