I am only 11 years old and I have struggeld with acne ever since I was about 7. My doctor gave me this acne face wash but it doesnt work. Ive tried everything on the stock, too. I dont know if its where I have already started puberty and everything but it leaves me wondering.  Please reply.

Hi. Go back to your doctor, there are plenty of other options available. As well as the face wash he will be able to prescribe you a topical gel such as Dalacin-T or Duac. These are much better than the acne gels you can buy in stores.
He may also give you some oral antibiotics to clear your acne.
Have you started your periods yet?

I am 14 and I have the same problem. I use CLINDAMYCIN PHOSPHATE Topical Solution USP, 1%.

I also use Tretinoin Cream USP 0.025%

And one oral pill DOXYCYCLINE HYCLATE TAB 100MG

I have had acne since I was 9 and I am now 14. I was really worried about having acne when entering High School, but this stuff works pretty well. Good luck!
