clearning up adult acne

i'm 27 years old and struggle with acne (cysts.)  i was on accutane in college and was hoping that i would have outgrown this by now.  other than courses of antibiotics (tetracycline) and cortisone injections, is there anything i can be doing to prevent this type of acne in the first place?  i eat a healthy diet with very limited dairy, i exercise daily, and i drink more than enough water.  i do not over-wash my face, and i limit my lotions, soaps, make-up, etc. to non-comedogenic, oil-free.  no matter what i do, i can't seem to strike the right balance to clear up my skin for more than a few days at a time.  my dermatologist is offering no help other than injections and antibiotics.  what else can I be doing?

Hello,  I am 28 and have done everything that you have said that you have tried for my skin.  Including Accutane.  I am on Retin-A Micro presently.  I use it once every 3 days and I have had great results.  My skin is like normal.  A couple pimples here and there but nothing embarrassing.  The only thing to prepare yourself about is that your skin really will get worse for like 1-2 months before it gets better because it pulls everything out of your skin.  Eeeew.  An if I don't use it for a week or longer and use it again regularly it does the same thing on a smaller scale.  Oh, and it fights aging and wrinkles so that is totally a bonus at our age.  Good luck :)

I had bad acne for years and I decided to try Benzamycin Gel that when my acne started to clear up. As of today I don't have one pimple on my face due to using this stuff. Benzamycin Gel is an effective remedy for the severe forms of acne. A therapy with this medical product can be accompanied by a treatment trial with other acne medical products. This medicine is a mixture between a drying (keratolytic) agent and a macrolide antibiotic. Both these ingredients are well known for their antibacterial effect. Thus, a therapy with Benzamycin Gel is so effective due to its peeling, antibacterial and drying effects. You Can Get Here
