acne, blackheads and oils?

so i was looking up on how to get rid of blackheads and i came across something that said:

I've had incredible results massaging with natural oils. It quickly and permanently got rid of my blackheads, my pimples and scars . I now have a totally blemish free, healthy and glowing skin. The secret is to massage over and over quite vigorously and they will reduce day by day. Do with a forward and back motion using tips and front of fingers and sometimes palms depending where on face you massage. Circular massage is not effective. Try to do 20 to 30 minutes a day(can be in two or more sessions) for best and quickest results.

Olive oil or any natural oil works fine.
You will see clearing of skin and reduction of pores in as little as 2 to 3 days.

REPLY FROM A USER -wannabeblue28 : Hi Mukunda M. "Omg, I've been following your advice and massaging my face vigorously with oil for the last three days and I see results already! Thank you ever so much..this could be the solution to my all my skin problems.. I have just been rubbing my face and neck with the ridges of my fingers and hands.It has made a HUGE difference in my complexion after just one night..... my skin looks so much tighter and i no longer have bags under my eyes! ...Thank you so much for your post, I have been suffering with acne and under-eye circles since i was young."

.....well How will the olive oil not cause breakouts when it's 'oil' ? I'm kind of confused..

Does Retin-A work on clogged pores as well as acne?

I don't have any pimples or blackheads because I take very good care of my skin, but I have very large, clogged pores, and I've tried just about everything to extract them.

I have heard that Retin-A can make your skin flawless... would it cure my clogged pores like how it cures other people's acne?
Also, would my doctor prescribe an acne medication for a pimple-free complexion?

how to get lighter skin through home remedies (please read)?

i don't want LIGHTER SKIN,as in change my skin tone to a lighter shade.
i'm a tanned complexion.
but i have had earlier trouble with severe acne on my cheeks and forehead.and my acne left hyperpigmented spots.
the spots are visibly gone now,but the area that was affected by the acne,has just developed this darker skin tone that is one shade lighter than my original one.
i'm not looking for treatment of spots here.i just want to bring the darkened skin back to normal.
it's not a skin problem.i've visited the dermatologist.
but he says it's due to the acne hyperpigmentation and it will take some time to fade naturally (like half a year or so)
but i've gone through the torture of acne itself for about 7 years now.and i can't go through another year of hiding my blemished face for another year.
please help.
home remedies that might lighten the skin tone.
sorry,i mean,it's one tone DARKER than my original skin tone (not lighter ).
also i said ''another year'' twice.
:)

How to treat mild acne?

I have a normal complexion (some oil on my T-zone, but not much), and I get lots of whiteheads on my forehead. I also have tons of blackheads on top and on the sides of my nose. I usually have 2-4 pimples on my forehead at a time.

How should I treat this?

How can I get rid of acne?

I have really bad acne. I know how teens are supposed to get acne but mine is really bad. My friends get minimal blackheads and single zits sometimes but they just have to put ice on them to make it go away. I get whiteheads all over my face, back, chest, and upper legs. When I first started to get acne I used a generic cleanser and moisturizer to maintain a healthy complexion. Then the acne started to come more, and more and I added an on-the-spot medication to target the zits. That didn't seem to work because they just kept coming.
So far, I have used Stridex pads, products from Mary Kay: deep cleanser, moisturizer, blemish control toner, and acne treatment medication lotion, Proactiv: renewing cleanser, revitalizing toner, repairing lotion, daily oil control, oil free moisturizer, and the revitalizing mask, and some Biore products: blemish control toner, foaming cleanser, and exfoliating soap. None of them seemed to work.
I am currently using the Biore products. They felt like they were fighting the breakouts and made my face softer but zits still come regularly all over my face. I skipped one day and had my worst breakout ever.
I recently saw an ad for an improved Proactiv. I only gave the regular proactiv a couple months and it didn't work for me. Should I try out?

I really need help. I get teased because of my problem all the time. I am trying to eat healthy and I really need to drink water more. If there is any product that you recommend for a girl who has a serious whitehead problem, please tell me! I dont get any other kinds of breakouts, just whiteheads all over my body. Also give me any advice to have healthy skin. Thank you! :(
