I'm over 18 and still have acne on my face. is there any way to get rid of it, or at least reduce the visibility of it? i turned 18 a while a back, but after my birthday, i had a breakout of acne on my face. i've tried proactiv, epiduo gel, benzoyl peroxi

I : I would recommend you follow up with your dermatologist b/c it sounds like you might benefit from an antibiotic. An antibiotic would help reduce the inflammation and improve the red bumps that occur after shaving. I would consider combining that with either epiduo or BenzaClin (clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide) (or similar). Also, make sure that when you shave, you go with the grain, not against it as some of your hairs might be slightly ingrown and causing inflammation and the bumps.

Dermatologist : You should consult with a nearby dermatologist who specializes in the treatment of acne. Sometimes it can take a few different opinions before you are comfortable with the treatment options. Some dermatologists use an aggressive and controversial medication called Accutane for very severe nodulocystic acne (referring to one of the most severe variants of acne which can cause scarring).
