Acne is a common skin condition that can be frustrating to deal with. There are several things you can try to help clear acne, including:

1. Give an acne treatment at least 4 weeks to work. Using a new acne product every few days may seem useful, but that approach can worsen acne. Acne treatment needs time to work. Using a different product every few days can also irritate your skin, causing new breakouts.

2. Wash your face twice a day and after sweating. Choose a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser and apply it with your fingertips, as scrubbing with washcloths, sponges, and other tools can irritate your skin.

3. Stop scrubbing your face and other acne-prone skin. Avoid irritants, such as facial scrubs, astringents, and masks, which can dry your skin and make acne appear worse.

4. Use skin care products labeled "oil-free," "non-comedogenic," or "water-based".

5. Spread acne medication on all acne-prone skin, not just your blemishes. Applying a thin layer on your acne-prone skin helps treat existing acne and prevent new breakouts.

6. Protect your skin from the sun. The sun can make acne worse and cause dark spots on your skin. Use a non-comedogenic sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.

7. Shampoo regularly. The oil from your hair can cause acne on your forehead. If you have oily hair, shampoo more often than you do now and keep your hair away from your face.

8. Stick to your treatment. Trying new acne treatments too often can irritate your skin and cause breakouts. Give your treatment time to work. It may take several weeks to few months before you see a difference.

9. Consider seeing a dermatologist. If your acne is severe or not responding to over-the-counter treatments, a dermatologist can prescribe stronger medications or recommend other treatments, such as laser therapy or chemical peels.

Its important to note that everyones skin is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. It may take some trial and error to find the right combination of treatments that work for you.
