I used to have very severe acne. It was all over my forehead and cheeks and chin and temples. I strongly recommend you talk to your dermatologist about this combination:
Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser: GENTLY apply to wet face and rinse 3-4 times a day.
Doxycycline Hyclate (antibiotic) 1ce a day pill.
Tazorac (tazoratene .05%) for 3 months. Apply a pea-size amount (NO MORE THAN THAT) once a day to entire face.
Once the acne flattens out completely, ask your dermatologist about Duac Topical Gel. It worked amazing to get rid of flat marks.
When using these products, MAKE SURE you do the following:
1) wash face with Cetaphil.
2) GENTLY PAT DOWN face with towel until most of the water is gone.
3) Apply a high-quality moisterizer that wont clog pores, i recommend the cetaphil moisterizer.
4) After a few minutes, apply tazorac OR duac as directed (DO NOT USE MORE THAN DIRECTED, YOUR FACE WILL LOOK LIKE A CHERRY!)
For the first month, your acne will get worse, as this is the process. What happens is all of the acne gets brought up to the surface of your skin. After the breakout phase, then begins the clearing phase. For the next month, your skin will improve, and about 1/3 of your acne will disappear. The 3rd month is the miracle month, this is where most of your acne disappears leaving you with a few scars. The 4th month usually gets rid of most scars. After about 4-5 months of treatment, once ALL of the acne is gone and all thats left is a few scars, I recommend getting microdermabrasion to get rid of the scars.
Hope I could be of some help!
