Anyone have an acne system that may work for me?
I've always had bad skin and nothing seems to work. I've tried Proactive (that crap doesn't work for everybody!!!), Murad, IQ Derma, Natures Cure, Clearasil, Neutrogena, Acne Free (got that from Costco), Garnier, just plain Witch hazel, and probably a couple more that I can't think of.
A coworker, who's an esthetician, says that my skin seems to build up, not getting rid of the old skin. She says I should stick with a system that has a 2% salicylic acid treatment as part of it. (She told me to try a system from Avon, which I just started using about a week ago). The only problem is that my skin is so sensitive. Gels seems to make me break out more. The salicylic treatment in IQ Derma was the first one that made my skin feel healthy but it won't get rid of this beard of zits I seems to have right around my mouth nor my onslaught of blackheads.
Any ideas?
(oh and as a side note I drink about 64 oz of water a day and my diet is relatively good.)
Quick acne treatment?
So school starts on September 5th, and I'm really hoping not to have bad acne by the time school begins again.
What are some good treatments that I can use that work in about 1-2 weeks?
Also, I'm going to the dermatologist in a few days, so if any prescription drugs (either topical gels or pills) worked really well for any of you, would you mind telling me about them?
Best overnight spot treatment?
Oh also, my skin is sensitive and fair, which tends to lead to my acne being more scar-prone. Are there any good scar fading creams/gels that are good for the face and for fading acne scars while not, you know, causing more acne?
My acne is VERY mild now, but I still get spots here and there. Generally, they are either small red bumps, or mostly under the skin.
What are some good (and affordable) spot treatments that you have used and that have worked for you? Either store bought, a prescription or homemade, doesn't matter. Also, is it good for sensitive skin?
My second issue is with blackheads and whiteheads. My blackheads on my nose aren't as bad as they have been (or at least, when I drink a lot of water they aren't) but I still have some on my nose and chin. I also keep getting larger whiteheads on my nose, which is way more annoying than the blackheads (not a lot, but one or two sometimes)
What is a good overnight treatment for blackheads and whiteheads? I saw someone mention this product somewhere..

But I've never used that brand, nor do I know if I would even be able to find it locally.
Any product suggestions are greatly appreciated :)
Acne treatment cream/gel that actually works?
..that doesn't cause dryness, redness and itchiness the next day after you wake up, and prevents future breakouts. I've already tried Retin-A, Duac, (even taken accutane pills), all kinds of topical gels, and nothing seems to work. :( Which ones have you used that actually works and doesn't do the things I've just mentioned? Thanks.
which makeup is better to hide acne blemishes?
hi, i don't have like severe severe acne, but it is irritating because it will not go away! i have tried several over the counter and gels from the doctor, but it does not leave :(
part of this is the oil makeup i use. so which oil free foundation works best? the maybelline pure concealer with the pure powder or the maybelline pure makeup?
thanks :)
junk food has nothing to do with breakouts - ask a doctor if you don't believe me.
the loose powder is oil free and says covers up blemishes and the concealer has acne medicine
