Annoying Spots.....

This topic has probably come up before but Im just hoping someone can help. Its just that I seem to get spots even though Im washing regulary when other people never seem to get them ,they're not horrendously bad but they still affect my confidence I guess and I just wish I could get rid of them. I use Clearasil Biactol in the mornings and evenings and them oxypads twice a day and I had these minocycline tabs form the docs but I still get them and its sssooo annoying, I've seen the oxy 'on the spot' things and all that but just trying every single thing is bound to irratate things. I was just wondering if anyone has any advice please?.....

How bad are they, are they just spots or is it more acne? Spots are just hormonal, and will clear up in time- just keep washing, and try to avoid a lot of fatty products.
If you are worried, go and see the doctor.
It matters not who won or lost, but how you place the blame.

Obviously you end up going to the loo a lot more but it's so good for you and you will notice a difference
Only they have the authority 2 prescribe the strongest drugs around. i was on sumfink called 'Roaccutane' (chemical name is unpronounceable) for 6 months in total and it really reduced the level. mind u, i was diagnosed with cystic acne and i had huge lumps (2-3cm across) on my back. bloke said he'd neva seen nefink like it. and it is REALLY strong - u ave 2 ave blood tests b4, during and after use 2 make sure its not harming u. it buggers up ur liver, so u cant drink ne alcohol whilst ur on it, and it can have other nasty side-effects such as depression. - but it does work!
Also I've heard some people take Dianette (brand of contraceptive pill) for more serious disorders. Otherwise, Evening Primrose (you can get pills at holland & barratt or other health food shops) is supposed to work. Oh, and HRI Clear Complexion pills have worked really well for my friend (natural, herbal remedy for acne / minor skin disorders).
Tempting as it is don't spend too much money on new products, it would do your skin much more good if you were to use a facewash (or cleanser and toner) and moisturiser (oil free ones esp. good) and get into a routine which you can keep-than to continue trying out new things.
