ACNE, does ANYTHING work??

Alright well i constantly get acne on my face and I've tried so many things to clear it up, but so far nothing has worked. My acne isn't really bad, i don't have a whole bunch of little pimples covering my face, it's more like i just get a couple nasty cysts every once in a while. They are painful, ugly, and fairly hard to cover up with concealer. They take weeks to fully heal and leave scars behind and it's driving me crazy and lowering my self-esteem.

I have been on birth control for 3 months now and not even that is helping. There hasn't been any change in my face. I've tried tons of different face cleansing products, i try to eat healthy, i exercise and drink alot of water. I don't know what else to try and its getting more and more frustrating.

I've heard of so many girls who's faces were cleared up perfectly from using birth control pills, and the fact it hasn't worked for me is quite disappointing. Should i try switching to a different brand of pill or give the one i am on more time? Are there any other ideas anyone can give me to try and clear up my face?

Probably nothing will help clear them up, you'll just have to wait, i used to get loads of spots and now they are clearing up well and that took about......2-3 years if not more

I've had acne for 5 years now, and it hasn't lessened, it's gotten worse.

try not to touch your face at all, wash it once a day with a very very gentle wash (no exfoliaters they make it worse) i didn't touch my face apart from when i washed it and put moisturiser on for a week and i stopped getting spots. make-up makes it worse too. this might not work, but its worth a shot

i doubt anything will clear it up completely though, and to help them heal you could wash your face in salt water (just put about a teaspoon of salt into warm water and mix it until it dissolves) my skin goes much healthier in the summer when i swim in the sea
