Question on how to get rid of pimples as a teen?
I am 15 and I don't have acne. Well, it's more like just gross pimples on my face and most of them seem to be under my nose and above my chin. They get like big greenish yellowish heads on them so I pull them off and then squeeze the pus out of them. Right now I wash my face in the shower with Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser and then once I get out I rub Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment on the pimples. What should I do? Please help, it's really embarassing talking to some one and you're to worried about the giant pimple above your chin and what she thinks of it.
They're on the area between my nose and chin.
Skincare routine for a teenager?
I would really like to know some good products for a teenager to use that WORK! I have really oily skin on my forehead, nose, and chin. Even if I wash my face, an hour later, it will most likely be oily again. I constantly have pimples on my forehead, and blackheads on my nose. Though my chin is oily, it doesn't tend to breakout as much, but it has recently. My cheeks don't usually have any zits, though sometimes they may get one or two. I would really like to have clear skin when school starts in a little over a month.
Currently, I use Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Cleanser and Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer. The face wash has almost run out so next I have a Cetaphil one to use. I have heard that I should be using:
-a gel or foam-based cleanser
-an alcohol-free toner
-an oil-free moisturizer with SPF for the daytime
-an oil-free moisturizer for the nighttime
-an acne spot treatment
-a weekly microbead exfoliator or acne masque
The questions I have are: What skin type do I have? (I think its combination-oily but I'm not sure) Do I really need to be using all of these kinds of products? What are good products to use that will help me have clear skin?
Feel free to add anything, but please don't tell me just to wait.
Am I cleaning my skin to often?
Here is what I do daily:
1. Wet my face with warm water to open my pores.
2. Apply IMAGE Blackhead Scrub (I don't have blackheads, the scrub is just very abrasive) twice a day
3. Rinse off the scrub
4. Apply Clean and Clear foaming facial cleanser, twice a day
5. Rinse off facial cleanser
6. Apply Clean and Clear advantage acne spot treatment, 2-3 times a day.
I do this daily, my skin is not flaky, dry, or irritated. The products work fine, but I'm worried this might cause problems in the future. I also moisturize my face after washing it. Can this cause problems such as acne or irritation in the long run?
Thanks for answering in advance(:
The scrub is not harsh at all, it just tones my skin and peels the dead or dry skin off. Its more like a lotion-like substance with blue scrubing beads in it than a gel type which is what alot of scrubs are.

Problem with acne (I've used a lot of products)?
Hi, im having a bit of problem with my acne,
Im 14 years old and i just started breaking out this year, and i
would say my acne is moderate, but not severe. I usually break
out on my chin, and my cheeks. I don't really break out on my forehead.
These are the products i am currently using:
Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash pink grapefruit facial cleanser.
Clean and Clear; Foaming facial cleanser
Lo'real 360 Clean Deep cream cleanser
Biore' Pore unclogging scrub.
I use them all EVERY Day and I can't get rid of this acne, im tired of hiding behind my makeup. (And please do not tell me to not wear makeup, because i am very very light on putting on the concealer, or foundation.)
Thanks for your help. :)

Please help I got a problem on my face?
I have always had skin to die for when I was younger. I had the clearest face a teenager could ever want. Now, I'm 25 years old and one side of my face has 5 pimples on it. One big one in particular which is the darkest by the way. They are not red or pusy or anything but I cannot stand looking at them!!!! I use olay facial wash twice a day. I wash my hands before I wash my face and wet it then apply the facial cleanser. I can't really tell if it's doing anything. The pimple size has not reduced. I don't have money to buy expensive acne treatment cream or whatever. Is there an approved home remedy that I could use to help me be rid of this problem? I'm really broken up about it!

Will This Prevent and Cure My Acne?
Having this Routine:
First using the Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Cleanser, For Normal to Oily Skin to clean my skin.
Then the Neutrogena Oil-Free Cream Cleanser Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment to get rid of acne.
And then, follow it up with the cetaphil moisturizer.
Will this work? How long do you think it would take?
Will this help my boyfriends oily, acne-prone skin?
he uses a freakin' bar of soap to wash his face... which i told him is probably over-drying his face, making it produce even more oil! so im asking this because i told him i'd help. his skin is SUPER oily, has blackheads, and acne..but not a whole whole lot.
first - exfoliate a few times a week. use enough baking soda to fill his palm and add water till you get the consistency of brown sugar. rub in circles all over his face. leave on for a minute or two. rinse off.
second - use Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash as a facial cleanser two times a day.
third - apply witch hazel as an astringent to skin, especially on really oily-prone and acne-prone areas.
will that help?? the excessive oil may be causing the acne so should he just try this first or does he need to buy a product for acne?
ive researched it............ im just asking what yall think. hes not going to see a dermatologist.
