You have come to the right place! I have suffered with (and STILL do) for about 11 years now. If people tell you it gets better as you get older...they lie! It's still here and I'm 23. I tried pretty much everything. None of the store bought cleansers worked at all. Stridex pads did work for a while but then started drying out my skin too much and made me break out again. argg. =) I even tried the infamous Pro-Activ...that did not help either. I even saw some dermatologists and they were no help. One thing I've learned that helps is to NOT pick at your zits- no matter how badly you want too-I have that problem. Keep hands away from face. The treatments I've found to really work great is from Philosophy called "Purity"-

http://www.rhondaallison.com/pages.php?page=must there are a couple of cleansers that work- one being pumpkin cleanser. Also if you wear makeup- make sure foundation says "non-comedegenic" or something similar. "Bare Minerals" is a great foundation/powder. Check these out and experiment and Good luck!
