acne question,10 points?



okay so i have combination skin...in other words my nose is super oily, and the rest of my face drys up sooo easily with most acne products and is VERY sensitive. I don't have major acne, but i have blackheads on and around my nose, and get minor breakouts that take FOREVER to go away, so annoying! what cleanser, mosturizer, and toner would you sugest for my skin type? thanks in advance ! :)

  1. ok well I use neutragena clean and clear face wash and it works!! I used clearasel in high school and it didnt work and I had bad acne and the whole 9yds! So for toner use any toner that doesnt have alcohol, (alcohol drys out your skin) I use neutragena toner, take vitamin E (it clears up your skin believe it works!!) I dont use mosturizer because it makes your face even oilier..you can use face masks to help get rid of blackheads, which are so hard to get rid of! do a routine of all your face stuff, also use a hot compress on your face it opens up your pores and releases the dirt and oil so your face can breathe!

  2. use natural products like tea tree oil and lemongrass they are good for sensitive skin… moisture with kiss my face products dont use make up!

  3. Oh my gosh our skin is like identical!
    I don’t have a solution but I’m watching this question for answers =)

  4. its clear that you’re a woman and your overreacting

  5. you can use rubbing alcohol to dry problem areas, for instance if you had a zit you can apply rubbing alcohol and it will dry out the zit and get rid of it, it might also help dry your nose up some, im not 100% sure about using it to get rid of black heads, ive never tried.

  6. since i am not a dermatologist i will recommend this website get an account and they will give you reccomendations based of your answers i tried this the other day and it made since……once i have the money i am gonna try its reccomendations

  7. I use all natural hippie soap with clay in it. It’s not as drying as most of the chmical filled options on the market, but clay is known to purify your pores. I also am a fan of those Biore nose strips… rip the gunk right outta there lol.

  8. I used to break out a lot too and the one thing that helped me the most was going to a beauty salon and getting facials once every month or so.. but other than that i would use Oxy Maximum strength around your nose area- that should dry it up. and also try neutrogena or clean & clear products for your whole face

  9. well buy a ance thing that says sensitvie skin only and
    leave it on for a little bit and then wash it off and put face lotion onn and then use oil pads for your nose theyre great and for the blackheads use a hot washcloth and lay it on your face it will bring everything to the surface! believe me lol

  10. omg my skin is exactly the same!!! try clean and clear oil absorbing sheets 2 reduce the oil on ur nose, also use clean and clear black head eraser, it cleans deep down in ur pores 2 remove dirt and oil then use burts bees toner and a good mosturizer! go0d luCk

  11. acne runs in my family quite bad and we’ve found that a tanning bed works great with acne plus personaly i’ve always used noxema and that always did me good but my other sister could’nt use it but it worked for me

  12. Witch hazel (witch stick) is very good with spots. just apply a bit every night to problem areas and your spots should go away. as for the dry skin, just keep moisturizing (simple moisturizer is very good for sensitive skin)

  13. well my sister has skin just like yours and she gets balckheads too. she uses stuff called clean and clear. there’s a really nice face wash and nice face cream.

  14. i like Physoderm!
    its for sensitive skin : )

    for the black heads i would use those nose strips– gosh i forgot what they are called…. Ponds strips.
    but you have to use them more than once, they arent just going to magically disappear after the first time you do one

    read the directions on them : )
    good luck hon!
