lol your friend and dad are wrong. What you need is an actual face wash. I use neutrogena ance calming face wash. I don't have acne....But this helps prevent it. It helps my rosy cheeks a lot, and it never drys out my face. Also, you NEED a mousitirizer. Many people believe in the myth that it is bad for the skin. IT IS SO NOT! I recommend a good OIL FREE mouistrizer. Use it everyday!
Your dad is right about the ance gel though. That will always help with acne. Personally I can't explain what it feels like to have acne so all I can say is this. STAY confident and don't worry about the acne! Your going through puberty! Your skin will get better with regimen and time!
GOOD LUCK:-D
Well you CAN get hypoalleginic mouisturize and face wash r! That means it is fragrance FREE! Also, moistrizers are supposed to keeo skin soft and not rough, NOT TO GET RID OF ACNE!
With your age, pimples are expected due to hormones. You can get rid of it by increasing fluid intake, avoid greasy foods, avoid sleeping late at night and take adeqaute vitamin A, C and E. Taking green tea can also help.
