How can i get rid of acne/prevent it?

Not curable: Get over the idea that you can "get rid" of it -- it needs to be managed like any other chronic illness. For the worst cases, Isotretinoin can give you a prolonged remission. Otherwise... If topical benzoyl peroxide has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician who can add prescription-strength Rx.
