This subject is near and dear to me. Not only have I suffered BIG TIME as a kid/teenager/young adult, but I've studied this, deep, dark, and dirty problem (no really, I'm a certified Skin Care Specialist).
It almost pains me to watch commercials and advertisements for pills and products promising better skin. It's truly not that easy, yet it's not that difficult. Our skin in my opinion shows reaction, you just need to find the cause.
Like with almost any other problem we try to fix with adding something else to the mix. What we really need to do is eliminate. Now, I know I've already lost all of you looking for a quick fix where you just take or apply something, but I PROMISE you'll never find a forever fix otherwise. You are already and will always be in the vicious cycle of something partially or temporarily working and needing to find something else or increasing potency.
Parents, save your kids the grief, the potential risks from medications, and scarring.
A true assessment is lengthy and not as easy as I'm listing below, but you can start here. Many of you will actually find answers here...yes, that easy! For the rest of you, I am currently waiting for Google Helpouts to offer and approve me an opportunity to post a helpout ad for this so that I can help you find your solution, so stay tuned!
Your main reasons for breaking out:
Dairy
food intolerance/allergy
hormones
products- laundry products/personal products (SHAMPOO!)
medicines
missing something your body needs - vitamin/mineral/hydration
Solve it:
Easy, remove it! I'd bet my bottom dollar most of you are breaking out from dairy consumption (yes even a yogurt a day or a few times a week)
hormones and other factors you can't change, ZINC and/or flush free NIACIN
Trust me friends when I say be careful with the zinc and niacin, they'll make your stomach upset if it's empty or if you're just not able to hang. I would start off with 500mg FLUSH FREE (otherwise you'll have a rosy red face) once to twice a day, and for the zinc 50mg-100mg per day.
NOTE I AM NOT A DOCTOR - CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE YOU TAKE ANYTHING
*even vitamins and minerals can affect you negatively and interact in a harmful way with your prescription medications, not to mention the possibility of making them ineffective*
Here are some links to my favorite clear skin tools at great prices:
Olay 4 - In One Cleansing Cloths
Get the NORMAL, trust me, even if you're oily or sensitive. If you're dry or oily give it at least a week!

Witch Hazel
Hit your local target, we're talking cents here!
Face Mask
start with twice a week, shoot for Wednesday and Sunday.
And that's all you really need as a start; the more you use the more you abuse (your skin that is). If none of these options work for you after 2-3 weeks you need a more in-depth look into your situation. Give my suggestions a try, the zinc and face cloths saved me from a very scary run of Accutane.
Good luck beauties!
