Acne: Wash daily, keep out of the sun, use few creams and moisturizers. Only use medications prescribed and directed by a qualified dermatologist.

Forget "hygiene": Acne is not a hygiene or lifestyle-related illness, and I am sorry that anyone blamed you for your illness. If topical benzoyl peroxide has not cleared you in two weeks, a physician's office visit is in order. Since you're female, the oral contraceptive pill may clear you if it is right for you, or adding a topical antibiotic may be all that's needed.
