I personally suffered from horrendous, painful cystic acne in my senior year of high school. I must have spent hours searching the internet for remedies, everything from household honey to cortisone shots. I had probably tried everything to try to get rid of it, although I later learned it was due to internal/hormonal issues. I still did everything I could to prevent it or get it under control though.

I recommend aloe vera gel as a face mask or makeup primer, and Grandpa's Pine Tar soap, which you can find at most health food stores. For the longest time I relied on products with salicyclic aicd and benzoyl peroxide, but with my sensitive skin I could only really use them as spot treatments. When I started using natural products, my skin was much more calm and even, whereas drugstore products dried out my skin and ravaged it. 

What are some ways you guys have controlled it?

 
Boscia's Purifying Cleanser, Clinique's Acne Solutions Clarifying Toner, as well as, Clinique's Anti-Blemish Solutions helped me paired with Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair serum. Also, drinking more water helped too.

 
Cystic acne is much worse than common acne. Try to make an appointment with your dermatologist. It is the only way to provide peace of mind. I would also suggest Proactiv, but it really depends on the user. I know many people that swear by it, and then others that searched for years and tried proactive, but it didnt work.

my dermatologist put me on retin-a, benzoyl peroxide face wash and gave me a topical antibiotic for the cysts.

 
When you have cystic acne, it's best to go to a dermatologist. Being an esthy, I would want my client to go to them first, get it under control then come see me. I would never want to make that worse. I had it when the Dr put me on Yazmin. Ruined my skin. Stopped it and within a few months my skin was back to normal.

 
Try applying Fuller's clay mask. Clay is one of the best natural skin mask which acts as exfoliate agent. It removes the excess oil by eliminating all the dead skin cells and cleans your skin to prevent the cystic acne. It speed up the healing process and also lessen the chance of forming scars.

 
I can't suggest you a full cure most product help reduce my acne for several month then the product stop working. I guess that just my skin but these product actually help me became acne free for several month. If you don't mine spend the money just to get better skin for several month then try the GM colin acne complex. I also try going to a chinese herbalist since it was recommended by my brother in law who was once a sufferer of acne. I try drinking their medicine for a month, it help but I couldn't do it anymore. You really need persistent for this one since you have to drink their medicine 2 time a day for several month which tasted horrible. It took me at least 30 minute to drink the medince the first couple of day. My brother try accutine and it work for him but I really don't want to take it until I have no other choice.
