Can you help reccomend a acne wash that works? read below for skin specifics?

I know a young girl almost twelve who has a light amount of acne. But maybe not for long. Anyways, she has light skin(not super light) with freckles and has acne that are little red spots, but not sores. Although when she picks at them they become red,blotchy spots or litle scars. Her ';clean and clear:oil free foaming facial cleanser'; doesnt work. Any suggestions on acne washes?Can you help reccomend a acne wash that works? read below for skin specifics?
actually i had a troubling acne problem. There are 3 ways to fight the war against acne: over the counter treatments (like proactive or department store acne face washes), dermatologist prescribed ointments or creams (such as differin), or prescribed oral medications. I have tried all 3 and I will give you the rundown on them all.





OVER THE COUNTER TREATMENTS:


most acne face washes contain benzoyl peroxide, which is most effective for whiteheads and teenage acne. But sometimes (like in my case), even if you are a teenager benzoyl peroxide products may not be effective. What I have found to be highly effective in both teenage and adult acne, %26amp; also whiteheads and blackheads, are products with Solicylic acid. If the 12 year old girl your refering to really likes Clean %26amp; Clear products I would recomend their blackhead clearing scrub. When I used it, i saw improvement in my acne in about a couple of weeks.





DERMATOLOGIST PRESCIBED OINTMENTS/GELS:


These types of medication are not too expensive depending on which ones you use. On average they may run from around $45-120 a tube. I used Differin which was about $50. All you do is apply the cream once a day after cleansing the face. The tubes usually last about a month or so and usually releive the acne symptoms within a couple of weeks. The problem with these products is that they quite frequently cause skin irratation (redness and peeling).





ORAL MEDICATIONS:


I would suggest that she go to her doctor and ask about an antibacterial medication called MINOCYCLINE. It's a pill taken twice a day and is very inexpensive, in fact most insurance companies will cover it. My great-grandma and I are covered by medicare and they are able to pay the full cost. This type of drug doesn't need to be prescribed by a derm, you can get a prescription from your family doctor or any clinic. With this medication, her face should be totally acne free within 3 weeks. I've been using it for a year and a half and have not had a pimple since. hope this helps.Can you help reccomend a acne wash that works? read below for skin specifics?
First of all NEVER EVER PICK AT YOUR ACNE IT CREATED SCARS





Neutrogena products and Clean %26amp; Clear would be perfect for her. A wash toner and moisturizer with SPF but oil free would be a good regimen for a young girl. also vitamins!
