Hmm...Boys experience acne usually much worse than women do because of their androgenic activity. Firstly, don't use apricot face scrub, it is the WORST stuff for your face, it's horrible, I can't stress enough, it makes little cuts on your face that are too small to see, and it will irritate, aggravate, and inflame acne which will make it worse. I'm not sure if this works for males, but there is organic green tea (that I don't know the name of) which is supposed to balance hormones. You can also get regular organic green tea from a whole foods store or an organic food store, don't get green tea with caffeine as it can dry out the skin. Water if very important, make sure he drinks at least 8 glasses of water a day. Also, he should be taking vitamins C & E daily to help reduce inflammation, tell him not to take a multivitamin as some vitamins can aggravate the skin.
