Acne Products

As you can see my counter is filled with tons of different face creams.

These are all the sample cream I got in just 1 visit to the dermatologist.
The pictures posted are of all the different creams I have tried to remove acne on my face. One thing I have noticed on my own and also is a proven statistic is that over 95% of  acne products don't do what they claim to for acne. Acne can cause a lot of different affects for a teenager like social pain, a beauty disgrace that becomes the cause for stress in many teenage minds. Middle school was the time when I started getting acne on my face and was wondering why I have this, Because when I looked around at the other kids they didn't have anything on there face so made me feel really embarrassed. But eventually i realized that acne had something to do with puberty and that I was the oldest in mu class, so therefor was the first to reach puberty. Part of the reason why I have so many creams in the pictures above is because I have not been able to find a cream that works for acne and dry skin. I have been going to multiple dermatologist for years because I have yet been able to find the cream for me. Every time I go to the dermatologist they hand me 5 more prescriptions and these different generic creams to try. Now you would think after going to different dermatologist for years that the doctors would start to overlap the prescriptions they would give me, but that is yet to happend and I'm still searching for the right cream for me. One of my favorite products that i have used over the years is Olay, which I have found to really help keep my skin clean and acne free. However in the past year Olay has helped with acne, but has not helped in the dry skin aspect and tend to find my skin till very dry and flaky. The one thing I wish that Olay had, was more combined creams that worked on multiple things on your face. I have found that part of the reason I have so many creams is that each cream only works on a aspect of my face. I think it would be very helpful if companies started combining some of there creams together. Olay though is the only cream that has truly helped my skin, so would be very difficult for me to pick another favorite because at this point feel that all the brands and creams blend together and don't really have anything unique that separates one from another.
