Magsss, if you're a teenager, you are more prone to have acne but adults have acne, too.

Definitely taking birth control pill can help. I understand that there're birth control bills that have lower dosage of hormones and be taken to lessen PMS symptoms. However, I'm surprised that your family doctor does not offer other remedies. For example, my family doc prescribes some antibiotics which controls inflammation (which cause pimples), in addition to some prescription lotion to put on the skin.

For non-prescription remedies, I've used ProActiv. It helps to clear the skin (as promised). I stopped using it because it blocks the pores (so I ended up having white heads). I also tried the clinique lines which doesn't really help.

I find that products that contain Salicylic Acid or Glycolic Acid work better those that contain benzoyl peroxide, which dries out my skin. I like Neostrata (e.g. http://www.neostrata.com/product ... .do?sortby=ourPicks) which can be found in major drugstores. Try using a lotion that contains Salicylic Acid. I find that helps keep my face clear.
