I did some research and talked to my doctor to find the most common causes of acne.





鈥?Hormones: The number one cause of acne is the production of sex hormones, known as androgen, that begins at puberty. This is why majority of acne sufferers are adolescents and teens. Hormones are responsible for then acne flare-ups during menstruation and pregnancy.





鈥?When the sebaceous gland is stimulated by androgens, it produces extra sebum. In its journey up the follicle toward the surface, the sebum mixes with common skin bacteria and dead skin cells that have been shed from the lining of the follicle. While this process is normal, the presence of extra sebum in the follicle increases the chances of clogging 鈥?and acne.





鈥?Stress: can also cause the production of hormones, such as cortisol, which can aggravate acne. Stress brings upon different hormone levels. With hormone changes the body prompts the skins oil glands to enlarge, secreting more oil. Which causes white heads, black heads and pimples.





鈥?Oily or heavy make up: Heavy make-up clogs the pores and oily make-ups add more oil, which only adds to the problem if oily skin already exists. Cosmetics, especially certain moisturizers, foundations and pomades contain lanolin, petrolatum, vegetable oils, butyl stearate, lauryl alcohol and oleic acid.





鈥?Certain medications and steroids: Vitamins are good for your body, But an excess of vitamins B1, B6 and B12 can cause acne flare-ups. These vitamins are good for the skin, but avoid overuse.





鈥?Diets: For some people, a diet that is high in refined carbohydrates and sugars can actually aggravate their acne.





鈥?Over abrasive cleansing: Harsh exfoliators can damage skin and spread infections.





鈥?Picking and squeezing: This can actually send the infection deeper into the skin and can cause scarring.





鈥?Environmental irritants: such as high humidity and pollution. High humidity actually causes swelling of skin. Pollution is of course is a big cause for clogging your pores.





鈥?Genes: Family members who are also acne sufferers. Acne is inherited and severe cases known as cystic acne usually come from heredity.





And..,





What the skin needs is a product that clears pores and kills bacteria, thus preventing hair follicles from clogging and turning into acne. This is what you should be looking for if you want to get rid of those ugly acne.

I've answered this question for another person and they said it worked. I use AcneClear, which you can find at Costco. After I wash my face, I gently rub in sugar for one minute. I still use the Clean and Clear Spot Treatment. It worked really well for me! Make sure the moisturizer you're using is non-comedogenic. I use Olay. All makeup you wear needs to be non-comodogenic as well. This means that it won't clog pores. At night, keep all hair off of your face, and drink tons of water. Try your hardest not to drink sugary drinks, and eat more fruit and vegetables. If you stress out a lot, try some de-stressing exercises. That worked for me! And just remember, it takes time and patience, but I promise that it'll work!
I have used those two, and your right my acne multiplied! I bought the Aveeno Clear Skin and it helped a hole lot. The only thing for me is my face starts to get used to the cleanser after a few months. I've even tried proactive! no help there either! I guess it depends on age and stuff!
I have found some good tips in following link, It may be good for you too

go for an acne treatment kit, which contains several discrete steps -- cleansers, toners, repairing lotion -- for clearing up skin problems . The widely-marketed Proactiv Solution 3-Step System was deemed the top product in this category.
