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.

what is the best facial cleanser for a person who has severe acne and extremely sensitive skin?
I've tried neutrogena oil free acne control (over drying, wasn't significantly effective with controlling acne) cetaphil (wasn't significantly effective with controlling acne) Ambi (caused breakouts) Aveeno (caused breakouts) however about 16yrs ago aveeno did have an oatmeal bar that worked really well for me now discontinued:) currently using clean and clear continuous acne control recently noticed 4 large pustles will cont to use for the next wk to determine effectiveness. Can't use products that contain sunscreen (cause breakouts) cocoa butter...shea butter...oils of any sort (clog pores and cause breakouts) skin is red, looks harsh, not soft/smooth texture...currently taking 80mg of accutane per day...Help I need a facial cleanser for severe acne + extremely sensitive skin!
