Everyone has different skin, and you will need to use your best judgement to pick out the acne treatment that works specifically for your skin type. Acne treatments that work for your friend may not necessarily work for you. You need to analyze your own skin based on these factors:
1) Is your skin oily, normal, or dry? When you use an acne face wash, does your skin easily dry out and become flaky? Or is your skin very oily and require constant washing?
2) Does your diet impact your acne formation? To test this, you can eat health foods for three days and see if any new pimples form. If you intake no oil, sebum production in the skin should dramatically decrease.
3) How sensitive is your skin? There may be some harsh ingredients you may want to avoid. It may take longer to treat your acne, but at least you won't damage your skin (possible scarring) in the process.
4) Family history of acne?
