If you have acne, you must treat it with anything that has BENZOYL PEROXIDE on its content. Oxygen is the number 1 enemy of acne. However I suggest you consult a dermatologist. I never experiment on my skin. I go to my dermatologist for that. Because it may look like acne but it maybe allergies. I have food allergies and when I have breakouts i thought before they were just because i'm having acne breakouts. I didn't know that I was allergic to some food and the allergic reaction looked a lot like acne but could not be treated by regular medicines. So good thing i had it checked to my doctor.

There is a product put out by a natural company called Burts Bee. They have an acne medication that is made from all natural products, in particular tea tree oil. I know you can find their products online so you might be able to order it and have it shipped to where you are. But I'm telling you, in the US where I'm at it's around $8 usd a container, and I have 3 teens that swear by it now! So if you can find it... give it a try! It's a lot less expensive then all those products they have out there!

The only toner that worked for me is the one with Clindamycin but ofcourse like any other medicine it does not work overnight. So you have to be very patient and apply it religiously twice a day. I have incorporated it in my daily regimen of cleansing-toning-moisturizing.Clindamycin can be drying to the skin as it is an antibiotic so I suggest that if you use this you follow it with a good moisturizer. One moisturizer I swear by and would gladly recommend is Clinque's Dramatically Different moisturizer.Going to a dermatologist regularly (atleast once a month) to have your face deep cleaned will get rid of stubborn comedones (whitehead, deep seated dirt). This will allow the topical medicines you use penetrate the skin better.
However if you cannot go to a dermatologist to have your face cleaned regularly you can try using a facial mask made of bentonite clay by: mix 1 tbsp of distilled water or apple cider vinegar (if your skin is not that sensitive) and 1 tbsp of cosmetic bentonite clay.It is important that you use a wooden,glass or clay bowls to mix this mask.slather on face then allow to dry.Rinse with warm water. NOTE: there will be a slight redness after rinsing the mask off your face it will subside in a few minutes.
