"i&#039;ve had moderate acne until i was about 15 then it started breaking out severely on my cheeks since i moved to texas with the weather and hormones started kicking in. also i was always oily and still am sadly and going to the dermatologist to figure out how to deal with it. i&#039;m now 17 and i never wear makeup and religiously wash my face and use a toner. i went to the dermatologist recently and they gave me a prescription of aczone and it cleared my face up in about 1 and a half to 2 months. my face burned, purged, and dried (don&#039;t pick!!!!!!!)but it helped. you just have to stick with it and give yourself a pep talk that it&#039;s worth it at the end. i&#039;m am left with a few pimples. it&#039;s better than the cystic outbreaks and clogged pores i had."
