Possible Treatments

I've been suffering with serious acne for about 4 years now. So far the most effective treatment for me has been the oral antibiotic Doxycycline. It took about 2 months of taking the antibiotic for my face to clear up enough so that I would feel comfortable with my skin's appearance. During the time that i was taking it, i was also washing my face routinely with Cetaphil antibacterial soap. Unfortunately prolonged use of oral antibiotics can have other serious effects so I stopped using it and stuck with my face washing routine only. It worked for about two months but my acne came back.
For the time being I'm experimenting with clindamycin topical antibiotic and aqueous base benzoyl peroxide gel. I've been using it for about a week now. So far it has not had any significant effects on my skin but it still hasn't been long enough to tell. I discontinued the use of my cetaphil soap but will use it again.
With this new treatment I'm also trying a diet change/lifestyle change. I'm drinking water throughout the whole day and getting plenty of vegetables(especially carrots). I personally believe that having better eating habits will help me feel better as well as keep me healthier; therefore it'll lift off some stress of my everyday life which may also be another factor in my acne problem.
I really recommend the Cetaphil products. I have used their moisturizing cream as well, it works wonders.

Hey guys, I totally agree with you acne is horrible and really does lower someone self-esteem! I really like using Estee Lauder products, they are really inexpensive and really do work! What I thought was AWESOME is they are having a competition on 50littleluxuries.com and if you win, the winner wins great prizes including their skincare products! All I had to do was say how I would spend $50, and now I'm just waiting to hear back. I HOPE I WIN!!
