A teenage friend of Hubby’s came to me a few weeks ago asking what he could do to clear up his acne. I told him about going to the doctor over mine when I was his age, and that they gave me oral and topical antibiotics. He said he had gone that route too, but for some reason which escapes me at the moment he ended up giving up on it.

I looked through the medicine cabinet and found a bottle of antibacterial wash that Hubby got when he had to have surgery. I gave it to him and told him to try that, because I had used something similar at one point and it worked well for me. But he forgot to take it with him, and he hasn’t been back for me to give it to him. Actually, I think he might have been scared of it.

Maybe he should start trying out stuff that you can get a free trial with, like Triclear. Then if it doesn’t work, he wouldn’t be out any money and could try something else. I know how stubborn acne can be, and what works for one person doesn’t necessarily work for another. But surely there’s something out there that will help.
