best medicine for acne and pimples - #17791

Zoya

I am really struggling with this stubborn acne situation. Like, honestly, it's just so frustrating! I’m a 22-year-old who used to have pretty clear skin until last summer. I started getting these really annoying pimples that just won't go away, and they seem to be multiplying lately. I've tried a bunch of over-the-counter stuff, but they just don't work for me. My friends keep saying Neutrogena is the best medicine for acne and pimples, while others swear by Cetaphil, but honestly, I've had no luck. I've also gone to a dermatologist, who prescribed some topical cream that just dried my skin out without clearing things up. I know hormones might be a part of this since I’ve noticed breakouts peak around my cycle. Does anyone know what the best medicine for acne and pimples really is? Like, are there more effective treatments out there? I feel like I’ve spent so much money on products, and nothing seems to help! Are there specific things I should look for in a product or possibly even a prescription that really works? Just trying to get a handle on this, because I can’t keep walking around feeling self-conscious about my skin. Thanks for any advice!
