I've been dealing with acne since I was 15, and it's gotten worse now that I'm 20. I tried some Ayurvedic treatments, but they didn't really help. A dermatologist recommended clarithromycin and tretinoin cream, which showed minimal improvement for a bit, but now my acne's back and even worse. Is there any real, lasting solution out there?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
