If I use a Acne Spot Treatment, should I use a acne face wash or just a regular cleanser?

If I were to use the Clean and Clear Spot Treatment Gel, should I use a regular cleanser like Cetaphil or Biore? Or should I use an acne cleanser like Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash in Pink Grapefruit. I don't have serious acne, just pimples here and there.

How to zap acne?

I am in the tenth grade, right around that time when you have frustrating, unexpected acne. My acne isn't severe, but I have quite a bit. I have some red pimples, and a lot of bumps. I've used Proactiv, Clearasil Ultra, etc. I've even seen a doctor about it and he gave me a prescription that did not work.

If there is anything I can do, or use certain face washes, cream, etc, feel free to let me know your secrets.

I've been thinking about just buying a very gentle facial cleanser such as Cetaphil and wash my face with that, followed by a moustrizer, but I don't know if that would get rid of my acne. It would probably just give me a smooth face.

Share your tricks. Thanks. :)

Something’s wrong with me?

ok, I think there is something strange going on with me.

all of a sudden, I've been sort of in a bad mood, and I've been super sensitive, as in, my feelings have been hurt easily (i've been crying a lot lately).

and the weird part is, i just got off my period last week.

Also, I've been kinda tired lately. I've been going to bed earlier on some nights, and the other day after school I had about a 10 minute nap, and I've also been negative about myself some days this week, which isn't like me.

Also, ANOTHER weird thing, my best friend has been going through the same thing. i asked my mom about this, and she doesn't know.

are these signs of a disease I may be getting or something?

Today I even got a little dizzy.

I have also had constant mood swings. But most of my moods have been bad.

Also, does anyone know any good acne treatments that works for all skin types? i've used Proactive, AcneFree, Cetaphil, and Clean & Clear, and they all worked at first, then caused more breakouts, redness, and/or itching. Thank you!
yeah, as a matter of fact, I am a teenager, i'm almost 14.

Has anyone ever used avon clearskin professional acne treatment system?

I started breaking out kind of badly about a month ago and tried using a few things: neutrogena, cetaphil, and a few others but they didn't work that well. I was wondering if anyone has ever used this avon product and if it works, is it good for all skin types, and just some info about it. Thanks in advance =)

My skin is bumpy, but it's not acne. How do I clear it up?

My skin is bumpy and it seems uneven, not the color but just my face itself. It's not acne and it's not blackheads... I use Cetaphil and a green tea moisturizer when I wash my face. I don't sleep with makeup either. I just want smooth even skin! What do I do/use so my face looks better?

MAJOR ACNE PROBLEM…Help?!?

I have oily hair (and sidebangs) and facial skin, which are acne's best friends. I hate all this acne on my forehead. I'm so self-conscious about acne on my face. I switched to a different scrub/cleanser that was better but just seems to "keep it under control" rather than prevent and rid of the acne and blackheads. I don't have any skin sensitivity or problem with it but I just need something better. I've also been getting a few pimples here and there on like my cheeks, which has never happened before. In the morning, I use the Neutrogena Body Wash Scrub on my face since it's convenient while I'm taking a shower with it anyways. At night, I use St. Ives Blackhead & Blemish Apricot scrub (2% salicylic acid) and Neutrogena Acne Spot Treatment (2.5% benzoyl peroxide). Does the Neutrogena Wave really work to rid of acne? Salicylic acid only works "sorta well," but benzoyl peroxide (not 10%, it's too strong for my skin) is better. Any products you can recommend or advice is appreciated.
1) I'm not using "too many" products, the Neutrogena Body Wash in the morning is for convenience and to wash my face while I'm in the shower. The St. Ives is to wash my face at night and the Neutrogena Acne Spot Treatment is a zit creme that I apply to the areas that I have acne. Acne won't go away if I just wash my face, I have to use a zit creme, it's always been like that.

2) I already wash my hair everyday with a dandruff shampoo because I have dandruff, hence why I need to use dandruff shampoo to rid of it and keep it gone. It's a fantastic shampoo and I really would not like to change it, but may consider another shampoo if someone knows of an oil-free dandruff shampoo that they think is better than Selsun Blue, which is what I use.

3) I have tried Cetaphil, Clean & Clear, and Clearasil...Clean & Clear gave "okay" results, and Cetaphil and Clearasil did not work at all.

What treatment should I use for my acne?

Ok, I've had terrible acne(and scarring, especially) for almost 2 years now. I'm talking all over my face, on my chin, and even a little on my back. The scarring is all over my face and is not going away, plus I breakout with a couple zits every 2 weeks or so. I've tried basically everything:
Proactiv, AcneFree, Cetaphil, Noxzema, Clearasil, Neutrogena, Epiduo, Diffrin, Stridex, and a few other treatments I can't remember. I've even gone to the dermatologist, but nothing she's prescribing me is working! I've tried home remedies, such as toothpaste and baking soda, which turned out horribly as well.

Please, I'm about to give up...I'm just so tired of having these scars and acne...Do any of you know what to do? Have you tried anything that's not on my list that's worked well? Please, I'll do anything, besides Accutane, because that's just ridiculous and there are too many side effects.

Please, any help would be appreciated. I'm running low on hope of ever getting rid of my acne.
