How can I get rid of acne scars, acne, and blackheads?
I would like home remedies if at all possible. I have a little acne on my chin and it won't go away, well they go away but then more follow immediately. I have a few small pink scars from me picking at them and I know that is horrible but it's a habit I am currently working on breaking and so far no picking for a couple of weeks but the scars are still there. Their small, no a big problem because they can be covered up with make-up but I don't want to do that. Is there anything I can buy in a health store or anything to take care of these?
And what about home remedies for blackheads and acne? I have very oily skin, seriously, I wash my face and 30 minutes later it's completely greasy. I watched this video on youtube before but I can't seem to find it. I believe an asian girl was showing what she uses and she had a website, it looked professional, for more information. She used, apple cyder vinegar I know that. But if you can't help me with finding the video do you know what I could get?

Maybe the video was one of Michelle Phan’s? In between all of her makeup videos, she does a lot of skin care tutorials as well.

My own advice:
Get something called Milk of Magnesia at a drugstore and put a thick coat of it on your face at night after you wash. It cleared up my acne dramatically in less than a week! And it is only like $3 so you don’t really have anything to lose when trying it!

I’m right there with you girl! But to be honest there aren’t that many home remedies that can help with that stuff. What I did was I went to the doctor and they recommended this product called Retin- A. It works super well to prevent acne and oily skin. To get rid of existing acne I use this stuff called persegel. It’s made my clean and clear. I haven’t tried this, but I’ve heard that clean and clear has these two products (the mark eraser and the blackhead mask) that work amazingly. One last thing you should try is a strawberry facial. It’s kind of messy and you’ll feel like an idiot but it works so well that it’s completely worth it. you can find the recipe at http://beauty.about.com/od/homemadefacemask1/r/strawberry_acne_mask.htm

use an dove sensitive skin soap everyday and 3 nights a week use a apricot scrub on your face and after you wash off the soap and when every you use the apricot scrub dry your face and then use witch hazel with a cotton pad and you will notice that you face will clear up nicely

there’s nothing you can really do for acne scars except wait for them to fade on their own. but for pimples and blackheads, the neutrogena wave is really good. use the ones for the shine-free blemish-free pads (they come in three types and this ones probably best for you). they work really well and they don’t irritate your skin. plus use shine control cleansers when you don’t use the wave. if the acne doesn’t lessen, you should probably see a doctor.
