Mabey this can help you - I found it on the net for you.
------So I am not saying this but maybe it helps-----------
How did the Regimen come about?
For years I experimented with every conceivable over-the-counter and prescription acne treatment, including retin-a, antibiotics, cleocin-t, sulfur, salicylic acid, and several others. Some cleared me up a little bit, but never a very noticeable difference. The one thing that always seemed to work was benzoyl peroxide, the key ingredient in the over-the-counter medications like Oxy or Clearasil. Although benzoyl peroxide worked better than the other medications I had tried, it still did not work well enough. I now know why. I was not being gentle enough with my skin, and I did not use adequate amounts of benzoyl peroxide.
I finally found a routine that cleared me up about ten years ago. I was astonished and elated to find myself free of acne after so many years of experimentation. As it turns out, my current regimen works remarkably well for almost every person who follows it precisely. We now have 30,000+ unique visits a day to this web site. I encourage anyone with light to moderate acne to try it. If the regimen was an equation it would look something like this:
Gentle Cleansing + Plenty of 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide
+ Adequate Moisturization = Clear Skin
A note before you get started: people often tell me they were skeptical of my routine before it worked for them. Quite honestly, a large dose of skepticism is required on the Internet. This site was not started for monetary gain, however. The necessary products are all available over-the-counter at your local pharmacy. I'm simply trying to share my success with people. Maybe some of the success stories below will help convince you this routine is for real. Thanks to everyone who has written me such nice letters.
Why does the Regimen work so well for so many people?
I have conducted research in many books, medical manuals, and dermatology journals in an attempt to understand why my regimen is so effective. The success of my regimen can be boiled down to the two facts that:
Acne is bacteria (propionibacterium acnes) growing in a plugged follicle. Benzoyl peroxide medication kills this bacteria well. Benzoyl peroxide first saw use in the 1930's, and remains a mainstay of acne treatment because it has proven itself to work well. To this day, benzoyl peroxide actually kills propionibacterium acnes (P. Acnes) better than any other medication on the market, prescription or otherwise. What I found is that you have to use enough of it. It's very simple. If you use plenty of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide and stay gentle you'll be on your way to clear skin. Also, unlike antibiotics used in the treatment of acne, it is impossible for your skin to develop a tolerance to benzoyl peroxide. If it works at first, it will always work.
Irritation of the skin can aggravate acne, and should be avoided. The Clear Skin Regimen is not just about 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, it is also about how you treat your skin. The exact science of what causes pimples is not known. It is known, however, that irritation can make it worse. As long as you are not picking at your face, scrubbing it with a harsh washcloth, or otherwise irritating it, your skin is primed for benzoyl peroxide. I will talk more about what causes irritation and how to avoid it in the coming pages. Because an effective acne regimen requires a non-irritated face, if your skin is already irritated from the medication you are currently using, it may be a good idea to give your skin a few days to get back to normal before embarking on this regimen.

Don't fret over your looks so much, which isn't easy, but it's important.
Have you visited a Doctor? Often they can give you medicine creams that are better than what you can buy in shops.
Good luck.
