How do I know a cosmetic dermatologist is really what I want to be?

I really love helping people boost there confidence with makeovers, masks, etc. But I also love the human body and the way it works. How do I know that's what I should do?

Are laser treatments effective in reducing oiliness in skin?

I have been plagued with EXTREMELY oily skin. My makeup can't last any longer than four hours because it just slides off. Mattifying primers break me out, blotting papers are not long lasting enough, toners make my skin produce even more oil in the long run, and I can't go on accutane because I have a history of depression. I've used masks, Milk of Magnesia, washed with Cetaphil, washed with Neutrogena's salicylic acid wash, etc. I'm beyond help! I recently read an article that the laser treatments used for acne damage the sebaceous glands and reduce oil production by A LOT. Is that true?!
I wasn't asking about acne, I said OILY SKIN.

What are some good homemade face masks/washes to help remove and stop blackheads and acne/breakouts?

Im 16 and before i never really got pimples or blackheads, my face and skin was pretty clear but then in about 8th and 9th grade i started to break out, but it always cleared up. At first it was just my forehead that broke out, and now its around my nose, my forehead, cheeks and chin! Ive use alot of face washes and none of them work! Is there any homemade facewashes/masks or anything that actually works?

Really Bad Acne I Need Some Help, Please?

Okay, so I've looked at some acne questions people have asked and I've noticed that they are kind of broad. They don't mention what skin type you have, how acne prone you are, ETC. So here some stuff about me before I continue-
I'm thirteen
I've got really acne prone skin.
Its kind if oily
Tons of acne scars
No blackheads
Its a genetic thing
It comes from stress(I am guessing).

Okay, so I've tried Clearasil, Panoxyl, Biore and Neutrogena.(None worked for me) I am currently using the Anti-Stress Foaming Face Wash and its helping, some. My face doesn't break out as much anymore, but I still have scars and tiny bumps across my forehead nose and chin. I don't want to use make-up because it won't really get rid of these problems and personally I find that I am too young. I don't want to use proactive because I've heard your skin gets totally dependable on it. I am convinced that my skin works with Salicylic Acid washes, but do they hurt your skin? And also, I've heard of something called Skin ID, is that really good?
I've tried going to dermatologists, but all they can do is get rid of the acne, not the scars. The scars are what I am really worried about.

So my main question here is: What are some good washes, remedies or masks of anything else you've got that can get rid of the acne and the scars.

Okay, thanks!

Really REALLY stubborn blackheads?

I have had tons of blackheads covering my nose and just under it, on my chin and between my eyebrows since I was 13.. I am now 21, and they are ALL still there. I have gone to the doc and gotten prescription cream which did nothing after an entire year, I've used Proactiv, Acne-Free, Biore pore strips, Clearasil blackhead pads, all different kinds of cleansers, astringents, creams, pads, etc.. I wash my face morning and night and use oil-absorbing sheets for my oily face.. when I wear make-up, I use non-pore-clogging products only and make sure it's all off at night. I've used all sorts of peels and masks, and boiled water to "steam" my face for 15 minutes to loosen the dirt... NOTHING budges these buggers! I've even squeezed them and the dirt comes out, but it's right back in there the next day, and I can still see the spot even after I squeeze it. Many of the things I've mentioned keep me from getting pimples but these blackheads are UGLY!

Face help please: Blackheads and Acne scarring?

I have a lot of blackheads on my nose and on my cheeks right where it meets my nose. I also have alot of acne scarring on my cheeks and chin. Plus, I have oily skin but it dries out if I use a harsh cleanser. I would like to keep it from getting shiny through the day but do not want to dry out my skin.

What is a good face routine for me? Like what facewash, mosturizer, toner, and spot treatments should I use? And please, only products that I can find at cvs/walmart/target! Plus, does salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide work better to fight blackheads?

Also, do you know any facials, masks, or do it yourself treatments I can do on my face weekly to really make it glow? Or if you have any other tips, they would be much appreciated! I really want to clear my skin once and for all! Thanks for your help :)
