What's the difference between anti-acne cream and acne spot treatment?

I just got the Skin ID personalized acne kit, it came with an anti-acne treatment (number 32) and an acne spot treatment. What is a difference between the two? The spot treatment was just a free gift, so I dont know if it is important... Please help!! I need to know!! thank you!

How to get rid of stubborn forehead acne!?

I'm pretty sure it started a little more than a year ago when i got bangs. my bangs are pretty long now but they still cover half of my forehead, I would pin them up to help my forehead but then all my acne will show so I never wear them that way in public, but I pin them up all the time when I'm home. I have tried numerous products on my face. Clearasil, neutrogina, department store brand, and many different forms of clean&clear. I bought a clean&clear acne kit with cleanser, spot treatment, and moisturizer and it has worked the best so far but still can't get rid of it all. Are there any proven methods you would suggest to me? It's winter and my skin gets dry during winter, but oily during summer.

Acne treatment help>>>?

I used to have clear skin last year and i was using proactiv and it was working good but i had to stop using it because it costs too much in alaska. after i didn't stop washing my face, just with another cleanser and it was fine until i went to texas and i got serious acne. i started using the proactiv again and it didn't help then clearasil which only made my face super dry (with moisturizer), and now i'm using the clean & clear acne kit, but i see not much progress..i really want my clear skin back. so could anyone help me with some acne treatments that aren't expensive, like something i can buy at wal-mart?

What over the counter cleanser helps with adult acne?

Alright, my husband used to see a dermatologist for his adult acne. Since he joined the military, the Army dermatologists have totally messed up his skin. They took him off of the antibiotics that were working and put him on something else. It totally irritated his skin and so he stopped treatment altogether. Does anyone out there know of a good over the counter cleanser and/or acne kit that works on this kind of acne?
He has a lot of under the skin acne though. I dont think a scrub alone is going to work such as St Ives. Also, he has very dry skin.

how can i get rid of my acne?

I tried proactiv, neutrogena soap, neutrogena acne kit and Murad.

I need an acne soap that...
isn't very strong like proactiv
doesn't dry out skin
is effective

My skin gets dry easily but i also have a lot of pimples and no blackheads.

What is the best acne treatment?

I have moderate acne but it wasnt a huge problem for me and you could hardly see it. but i went to the dermatologist to see if i could clear it and she recommended ziana. I used it for about 3 weeks and all it did was make my skin red and start peeling and gave me large painful pimples in places id never had them before. I'm 15 and a girl, but im just now going through puberty. I havent even started my period. so i know its probably hormones but I was wondering if anyone has used anything that cleared up acne well. It doesnt have to work fast, but i would love if it didnt irritate my skin, or make my acne worse before it got better. Price of the product is not an issue. Has anyone tried Neutrogena 7 day acne kit? does it work? Thanks!

Which Acne Treatment will clear my face the best/fastest?

Clean And Clear Advantage(Acne Control Kit), Neutrogena(The pink one that's supposed to smell good, I'm not sure of the exact name), or Regular Soap.

DO NOT RECOMMEND PRO ACTIV OR CLEARASIL,
They don't work on me! Pro activ doesn't do a thing, even after 5 months and Clearasil just gives me more acne.

IF YOU WANT MORE INFO READ THE FOLLOWING, IF NOT JUST ANSWER:
My friend used to use regular acne products on her face and it was bad, like you couldnt see a single clear spot on her forehead, and her entire face was always swollen with them and then she started using Soap and it got better. That's why I included that.

I used to use The Clean and Clear Acne Kit but all of my friends said that it stopped working after awhile, I want something that'll work for atleast a year on my skin. Everyone said it stopped working after a month. It worked really good on my skin at first but i stopped using it after my friends told me this(i had been using it for about 3 weeks)

I used to use Neutrogena All the time and it always cleared things up, not super fast, but fast and It was good. I really liked it, i've never kept up a schedule with The new kind i have to know if it works or not So, I'm just going to go with whatever is most recommended.

My Skin is oily, and delicate. I stress alot and I never know what works. I've also asked another question like this but I didn't seem to get answers I had hopped for.
DO NOT RECOMMEND ANY OF THE OTHER THINGS I HAVE SAID.
Anything else, Feel free to recommend but also if you had to pick please include one of those ^^^ in your answer.
ALSO, I usually wear makeup everyday(cover up) I use a non-oily or pore clogging Cover up, I'm not sure of the brand I forget but thats just a little extra to add...I guess?

Extra Strength Proactiv or Acne Free Severe to Clear?

I have been using proactiv for two months now...and no change. Should I switch to the extra strength formula kit? Or should i use the Acne Free Severe to Clear kit from the drugstore? I had tried the normal Acne Free acne kit last sumer, and it irritated my skin and I had to stop it before it could really start to work, but I didn't use a moisturizer with it and was in the sun a lot. Now I moisturize with spf like crazy so proactiv hasn't irritated my skin, and i'm thinking Acne Free won't either if i continue to moisturize. So from experience, would you recommend Proactiv Extra Strength, or Acne Free Severe to Clear??
