and has definitely helped my skin with a good diet but also a good cleasing/moitsurising/toning regime too. microdermabrasion can be expensive but i would definitely recommend it but i have foudn over the years that they dont all do it well. i have now found a local company who do it well but we are in middlesex and dont know where you are based. try to call up their association or the company that runs/trains them in this as it is a specialist area. I think i pay around £45 for this with a mask that follows.
Also drinking a litre a water a day helps and i have recently started taking the biocare multivatimin which contains vitamin B complexes in it and the skin is really healing. i would really recommend it but then again you have to buy the right quality of vitamins. bio care has worked for me - and i have acne on and off since i was a teenager (now am in my forties) and my skin really has cleared up but i really have to stick to my routine - otherwise it goes out of the window.
microdermabrasion has helped a bit with the scarring.

Anyone tried microdermabrasion? I have a salon voucher to use and I've read a lot of waffle on the net saying it's good for acne. (My back is worse than my face, it sucks)

My spots cleared up when I started using Australian Bodycare tea tree face wash and started eating properly but its definately a case of trial and error to see what works for you.
Dr Brandt microdermabrasion is great for reducing the redness and giving you soft skin. Have also tried the Philosophy microdermabrasion and that is very good too.
My friend had teenage acne and she swears by Prescriptives and Liz Earle for stopping her erruptions!

Hi - I had terrible acne from approx 23 to 37 - I'm 40 now and still get the occasional spot. Over the years I've tried everything from dianette to every skin care brand on the market (I can confirm the expensive ones are no more effective than the cheapies!)

Unfortunately I don't think there is any one sure thing or everyone but it's a case of trying them out and giving them a chance to work (ie don't give up after a few days when no miracles happen!)

My main cures are to drink LOADS of water - this is a must. Also, don't touch your skin - I mainly get spots on my chin from sitting with my chin resting in my hand whilst browsing the internet. Also it's really important to treat the skin gently - nothing too severe as excessive drying only leads to "stress" spots.
