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.

How to get rid of pustule acne?

I've tried different treatments but nothing works and I usually don't like rubbing random sh*t on it, are there any organic/home remedies for pustules? And I usually pop them, but then they bleed for a minute or so, do I pop them too soon? They're annoying and I wanna pop them the second I see white. Also, I only get it under the bangs, and I'm NOT cutting my bangs no matter what, but will the acne never go away if I don't? Is there any special shampoo I can use like anti-oil shampoo or something?
Thanks.

Accutane questions, alternative to Accutane, or ANY OF YOUR ACNE TREATMENTS?

Hi,
I have just turned 13, and I'm wondering what I can do about my acne. It's really not terrible, I sort of go through spells of worse acne, and when I'm not in a spell I at least have a couple spots. Right now my chin has 3 red, pointy type pimples. My nose has loads in those cracks on the side of my nose, and I have a bunch between my eyebrows. I'm guessing this is because of eyebrow waxing..? Oh, there are also lots around my hairline. I have side swept bangs so that side gets really oily. I usually tie them back, but I recently got them cut and I think they're a bit too short this time around. I guess the best way to describe it would be that it's not the kind of acne that's red and inflamed and stuff. You don't see patches from far away. Standing 6 feet away, you'd be able to make out a couple red pimples around my face. Honestly, I know other people have worse...

But that doesn't mean I like it. I doubt anyone would put me on accutane, especially since accutane fixes the oil glands, but all the oils in my pimples come from hair or wax or something. Does that matter though? I know the side effects, by the way.

Are there any weaker alternatives to accutane? Any acne advice? Any non-prescription drugs? I'm sick of looking like this.

Acne and skin problem?

Well, I have bangs that cover most of my forehead, and I would like to know what I can use to clear up my acne, and what I can do to prevent more acne from spreading. I used proactive, but I saw little results, and now I'm using Clean & Clear blackhead scrub, and Noxzema, and that could work better, I think. I also have something sort of like little sun bumps under my eyes and some on the sides of my nose, and I want to know what would prevent that too. Thank you very much.

Help with breakouts!?

I can't make it stop!! :\ It's like one morning I woke up and my face like declared war or something. I wash my face at least once daily and use special acne-spot treatment but nothing seems to make it stop. Any ideas on what I can do?? I don't use any styling products in my bangs that would clog pores, I pin my bangs back at nite and I really don't wear much makeup, on my forehead especially... except when I breakout and I just ose L'Orael concealer. HELP!!

SOS!!!

how do i solve acne? (face, back, chest,legs)?

i have had acne since about the start of 6th grade. the reason for it is that i had THICK bangs, and so my face was covered in acne. also, i have it on my back and chest. i have used MANY products, like benzoyl peroxide twice a day, salliyic(spelling?) acid, and Apricot Scrub from St. Ives. those are a few of the products i have used~ i have probably bought over 30 products! the cost is overwhelming.

How should I wash my face? Should I use…?

Also, forgot to mention before, should I wash my face with Neutrogena or not? Should I just use the Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment ?
Okay, so i have some acne I want to get rid of.
Just some zits on my forehead, one on chin, and a couple around/on my cheeks.(the bigger/darker ones are on my forehead, i have bangs, if that helps)
Anyway, i was wondering how I should wash my face, stupid question, I know, but im kinda new to this whole acne thing.

Okay, so my plan is to the wash my face with the grapefruit Neutrogena cleanser,dry my face, then wet it again, and rub Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment over my pimples.

Is that a could process? Have you used the Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment? If so, how did it work for you?

Hah, wow i wrote a lot.
Basically, can you let me know if that's a good 'face cleaning 'process and have any tips to share?

Thanks so much (:

How can I clear up my acne over the weekend?

Well I'm 14 and puberty is really kicking in.
I'm planning on cutting my long hair but the only thing thats really holding me back is that I have some pretty gross acne on my forehead that my bangs cover. I've been washing my fave for about 3 weeks and the stuff I use isn't helping very much. In the morning I put on Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Cleanser and after I use that i put on Clearasil ULTRA Vanishing Acne Treatment Cream and then i put on Clearasil ULTRA Scar Care Protecting Day Lotion. After school I use Clean & Clear again, then at night I put on Clean & Clear and the Vanishing Acne Treatment again but its not working too good. Are there any products I should use to help it go away fast? Or should I keep my routine?

What products should I use for bad blackheads & occasional bad zits?

I have, of course, heard of tons of products to help acne, blackheads, pimple, etc., BUT considering I don't have the money to go buy a at-home spa I'm not sure what to use or do.
I don't have bad acne (thank goodness, but I get bad pimples in my hairline, and occasionally on my nose.
My worst problem is my blackheads which accumulate on the side of my nose, are super hard to get off...
Anyway, I am about to start the Clean & Clear ADVANTAGE deal with all the bangs and whistles, but before I do, anyone have a better suggestion?
I do not have sensitive or oily skin, and my best friend is already benzoyl peroxide. But anyone have a name-brand product that works well?
and does the clean and clear blackhead eraser work???
