What is a good foundation that will make me look flawless and not cause me to break out?

I want to have perfect looking skin, like a doll. I don't have major acne, just some blackheads and I have a few freckles. Thanks!

Has anyone had any experience with lasering procedures for blackheads?

I am on Retin-A now for very mild acne. It works very well and I have no more acne flair-ups but I have a very annoying blackhead patch on my cheek. I always thought they were freckles until my boyfriend (who's mother is a skin aestician) decided to extract them. Well after that ordeal they seem to be much more prominent now that the "seal" has been broken. There's also a small vein that probably has gotten damaged that runs right through the patch.

I want to get lasering to help reduce the pore size, kill the bacteria, and help remove the small vein.

It's only an area about 3/4 inch diameter. It's not a huge patch but enough that I'm tired of looking at it.

I wouldn't mind also doing a combination of microdermabrasion for poor size and lasering for the vein.

No ads for Pro-active would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks!

Newly prescribed Minocycline and Epiduo for acne–simple question?

today i was prescribed minocycline (pill) to take once a day and epiduo (topical) to use every other day and then eventually everyday and i have a pretty simple question:

1) if the minocycline is a pill, will it also clear my back and chest acne?

i dont get super bad acne on my chest, just blackhead looking things and little red spots...but i also have a few freckles so it looks worse than it is..but my back is a different story...my lower back has some problems but i think it is just because the lower part of my back has a little hair and it gets clogged or whatever but my upper back especially where my bra and bra straps are and around on my shoulders and shoulder blades...some of it looks like little stubborn blackheads that are just a little inflammed and others are worse..will the minocycline fix this? or do you have any tips? thanks

**also i have a ceremony thing where i have to wear a dress and all that good stuff which is on May 25th...about 9 weeks away..will my back and chest be clear by then if im on minocycline? thanks again

How to lighten freckles and acne scars?

I am caucasian and would like to lighten some acne scars and freckles but can't afford microdermabrasion or that kind of thing. Is there anything I can buy that works, such as a cream or something or even an inexpensive treatment at a dermatologist or spa (I live in nyc)? I could use some advice thx!

i need help with my skin?

i need help with my skin. i think that it's very sensitive because if i shave my legs or underarms, the areas that i shave get red and bleed a bit (sometimes they don't, but other times they do very bad). is there any solution to stop this and to have smooth, clear legs and underarms?

i also have acne on my face, chest, and back. it's not the really big, red kind of acne. it's more of the small and annoying kind of acne that will not go away no matter how many products i use. i've tried everything from neutrogena (rapid clear) to clean and clear (advantage). i've also used st. ives (apricot scrub) and acnefree (clear skin treatments - 3 steps). i also used the neutrogena wave and it worked for the first few days, but my acne always comes back. i still have all of these products but i rarely use them due to the fact that they don't work on my skin. some of them have worked, but they dried up my skin and made my face peel and my skin got all over the place. i also have freckles and oily skin, which i hate, so my skin looks very unclean and oily. i know that many people wish they could have freckles, but they make me feel very ugly because they blend into my acne.

is there any solutions to have smooth, clear legs and underarms after shaving? and is there any solution to get rid of my acne and oily skin? please suggest any products, home remedies, face masks, diets, foods, and/or anything else that may help control and/or even clear my acne and give me smooth, clear legs and underarms. thank you!
