Get CLYDAMYCIN gel. It's available by prescription.
Having said that first, here is my background... I think this is the same site I went on a few years ago when I was at my wits end about my adult acne and pimple picking problem. It was completely controlling my life. I missed days of work because of it and would not leave the house at times. I tried all of the acne products I have seen on commercials, I tried birth control products, and I even spent thousands of dollars on dermatologist appointments, facials, peels, and painful laser treatments. I washed my hands regularly, avoided touching my face with dirty hands, changed my pillow cases and bedding often, kept my make-up brushes clean, switched to mineral make-up, used one of those facial pimple picking tools when I did pick- you name it, I did it. I still had pimples of all kinds- blackheads, whiteheads, regular pimples, bumps that looked like pimples but nothing came out, and even those big huge cystic ones that hurt when I laid my face down on my pillow to sleep. I felt like a diseased monster. It was pitiful and depressing and I didn't even want my husband to look at me. I locked myself in the bathroom for hours from the moment I woke up so I could get my make-up just right before emerging for the day. Sometimes I did my make up over and over again. Sometimes it took so many tries that I gave up and just called in sick for work or asked my husband to be left alone all day if I was not working. I never went anywhere without make-up and would not even swim at the beach or in the pool because my make-up would wash off and my ugly skin would be seen. Make-up didn't completely hide my acne by the way, I still looked bad, just not as bad.
One day, I went for my yearly physical and my regular doctor was sick. Just before my appointment was over, the substitute doctor asked if there was anything else I wanted bring up. Even though I thought it was useless, I told her all about my unsuccessful attempts to control my acne. She mentioned a product - CLYDAMYCIN gel. I was doubtful but had nothing to lose. With my insurance, it only cost me $5. Within days, my face started to clear up and now I don't get blemishes at all so there is no reason to pick at my face. I even look good without make-up now!
I couldn't believe it- all of the thousands of dollars I wasted, painful treatments, etc did not stand up to this $5 cure. It didn't dry out my face like some products, I don't have to implement any crazy rituals or lengthy regiments to my normal routine. I just put this gel on after washing my face in the morning and night. Everything else is the same. I put my make-up on as usual. Just to be safe, I still avoid touching my face because I don't want to put germs on there. I wash my make-up brushes and pillow cases regularly- all the common sense stuff. But the real difference was this gel.
I hope this helps someone!! Good luck to you all!
