What can I do about my acne?
ok, so school starts on Monday.
I have 5 pimples, and a bunch that are under my skin. I want to get rid of them by Sunday night.
Can you recommend any home remedies, facial cleansers, or spot treatments that really work, and I can get them at like Walgreens or Target?
I know that everyone's skin is different, blah blah blah.
Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub?
I haven't used facial cleansers before or anything specifically targeted for acne but I just bought the Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Scrub because the bottle was pink and it looked cute.
Now I read some reviews online and people have said that it gave them severe red and dry skin so bad it hurt.
I dont have sensitive or dry skin, but should I not use this product?
Acne treatment help?
Right now, I am using Clearasil foaming face wash in the shower in the morning. This sort of dried out my skin, just around my chin and lower cheeks. I then apply face lotion to the area. My skin gets oily during school (prob cause its shitty and smelly ;) ) When I get home I just wash off my face with a wet wash cloth. If I go to the gym or do other physical activity that causes me to sweat or get dirty, I shower around 7 and use proactiv around 9-10. Proactiv seems like it is not doing it's job as far as acne is concerned on my forehead area. I would like to know what some other good facial cleansers are? Also, how do you get rid of acne scars and scabs? Especially around the hairline/ in the hair next to your hairline. How do you keep acne and blackheads from being created in your hair next to your hairline/ and your hairline? Thanks, best answer gets 10 pts.
Oh, and I am 16, White male, normal skin tone in the winter, very tan in summer. If this helps?
Can you please help me with my severe acne!?
It's worse now than it has EVER been in my whole life. I used to complain when I had like ten pimples, but now I wish I could go back in time to have that! Many teenagers complain about having one single zit, but I would give everything to just have that! I'm in 12th grade, and I've had acne since the beginning of 7th grade. I've tried so many facial cleansers, topical treatments, and I've been to the dermatologist a numeral of times. I've been on three different acne treatments by the dermatologist so far. All of them work at first, but I guess when my face becomes 'immune' to it; it stops working.. which is about after a month or two. Right now I'm on the ointment ziana plus the pill solodyn. I've been on erythromycin-benzoyl peroxide topical gel, and tazorac cream. Yes, I've already tried the Pro-Activ and Clean&Clear system. I don't wear any make-up powder or foundation. I've changed my detergent, I wash all my blankets, changed my shampoo and conditioner, but nothing seems to help. I tried that trick of using toothpaste, alchohol, and many more! I'm desperate right now, and I refuse to use accutane because of the side effects. Please help me! :(

i DON'T THiNK iT'LL EVER GO AWAY :(

If you read the whole thing, you would've seen I already used that Clean&Clear system :( I had an allergic reaction to it that made my face swell up like a balloon!
Also, you would've read that I used Pro-Activ! Gawh; lol.. but thanks for answering people :)
How can I get rid of back/chest acne quick?
I've had back acne for a little while now but it's recently broken out pretty bad and it's broken out on my chest as well. It has come to my attention that back/chest acne is MUCH different from facial acne, so facial cleansers more than likely won't work! I'm trying to get it cleared up or at least reduced by the time I go to San Diego on Easter Weekend. Please answer only from personal experience or if you know more about this than I do.
