do deep cleaning products help/prevent acne?
like the neutrogena deep clean gentle scrub or the st ives blemish and blackhead scrub. However is it safe for sensitive skin?? What lotion do u use
but i have lots of acne scars and red patches so im not sure i want to prevent more acne and more discolouration
I do cleanse, and miosturize. I use the aveeno daiily moisturizing lotion and its not greasy at all but it has petroleum in it. That fine??
Oxy Cleansing Pads in Maximum, will it work for blackheads & mild acne?
I just purchased these Oxy Cleansing Pads on a whim because I'd heard good reviews on it before. I'm a 16 year old girl with pretty mild acne & oily to normal skin but my real problem is stubborn, deep blackheads on my nose that I've not been able to get rid of for a looong time.
These pads don't specify anything for blackheads & I now realize that there are some directed to get rid of blackheads but that's not the one I purchased.
So I'm wondering if anyone has used this product and gotten positive results with getting rid of blackheads?
And also I'm a bit confused on when to use the pads? Some say use it as a cleanser, but I wear foundation to even out my skin tone so shouldn't I wash my face first?
I currently use a mild honey & oatmeal soap morning and night to cleanse my face and I also just bough the walmart version[brand equate] of Aveeno's Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer which I intend to use after using the pads.
Cetaphil for acne? (only those who used or knows someone who uses)?
hey
im thinking of trying cetaphil gentle daily facial wash and the moisturizer that comes in a similar bottle
but at the moment i use aveeno foam clarifying cleanser, st ives blemish and black head scrub, and aveeno redness reducing lotion
which doesnt really do me any good cuz i always break out....
i have
-somewhat bad acne
-whiteheads
-blackheads
-large pores
-combination skin
-and very sensitive skin
would you reccomend this to work for me?
Is this skincare routine alright? What should i eliminate/add?
i'm a teen. i have super oily skin! (in the middle of the day you could fry chicken using the oil off my face and it looks so shiny, that's why i go through a pack of oil blotters so quickly!)

-aveeno positively radiant daily moisturizer
(Oil-free/hypoallergenic/noncomedogenic)
Night:
-clearasil daily pore cleansing pads (2% salicylic)
-prescription trerinoin gel:0.01%
once a week i use Queen Helene Mint Juliep Masque (do you think i could use this everyday before school if i wanted to?)
to treat huge pimples i use: clean & clear advantage acne spot treatment

I just recently switched to the Aveeno moisturizer from the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion because Aveeno is oil-free and Clinique seemed to clog my pores.

How should I get rid of my acne?
I have this really, really annoying acne problem that kicked into high gear towards the beginning of this year. Started out with maybe a few on the forehead that I could easily ignore, but now they're proliferating in great numbers on my face.
I've tried Aveeno and Neutrogena; Aveeno was total crap for me, and Neutrogena worked in the beginning but now doesn't seem like it's doing anything. Zits are still pretty much the same as they were a week or two ago, and more are sprouting.
I'm desperate so any sort of acne treatment product recommendation is greatly appreciated!
Will this routine clear up my skin?
I'm a 15 year old girl with combination oily/dry skin and pretty severe acne. Will doing this clear me up in a few weeks?
Morning- Clean and Clear's morning burst shine control facial cleanser and oil free moisturizer
When I get home from school-Wash off make up with moistruizing cleanser
Before bed-Wash face with Aveeno's exfoliating skin brightening cleanser and apply differn (topical prescribed by dermotologist)
Once a week-Peel off facial mask
If I do this, wear less make up, pull back my bangs at night and drink lots of water will my skin clear up within 3 weeks?
any other ideas?
thanks :)
acne breakout after using new face wash… help?
i've been using a face wash called purity (by philosophy) i've read a lot of wonderful reviews on it and how it works wonders!!! but after using it for a week and a half ive been breaking out and my acne is just getting more red/inflamed. when i used it at first, my skin became calm after washing it and it felt so smooth but now i dont see an improvement. i heard that a lot of times when using new products you break out and then your skin gets better. do you think this is what is happening? also, i use aveeno's ultra calming moisturizer which doesn't seem to be helping out my skin.... (it makes my acne red/inflamed) what do i do? any at home facials? any organic natural spot treatments? just any suggestions would help
Is the Proactiv Solution Skincare line really worth it?
I'm a teenager and dealing with bad skin.. bahahah.
& of course. I haate it.
I've tried numerous clean & clear, neutrogena, aveeno, and even more types of products specially designed for acne, and oily skin.
but none of it really works out well for me..
And of course, I always watch those commericails with Jessica Simpson in it sponsering Proactiv, but seriously, does it work?
I have:
- Many blemishes, pimples, blackheads on my forehead
- Few blemishes above my upper lip
- Few blemishes/ pimpes on my chine
- Few blemishes around my cheeks
- & I have oily/ shiny skin
Here are a few questions:
- Have you tried Proactiv and would you reccomend it?
- What exactly should I be looking towards: Renewing Cleanser, Revitalizing Toner, Reparing lotion, Proactiv® Solution 3-Step System plus Refining Mask and Oil-Free Moisture with SPF 15,
Mild Exfoliating Peel, Daily Oil Control, Deep Cleansing Wash and Advanced Blemish Treatment.. there's a lot of products!
- How much is it?
- Is it effective? Quickly?
- If you do not reccomend proactiv, then what works for you and what you would reccomend for me?
- And please feel free to add anything else about proactiv or any other effective skin products, and link, and videos would be greatly appreciated.
