Okay, serious skin and body question- no b.s about weight?

Okay, when I was younger I used to get body acne on my back. Since then I've been using a really great cleanser and it's been keeping my back looking great. However, I have a lot scars left over from my past acne that I'm afraid is visable. How do I get rid of or cover up these scars so I can be more confident showing off my back?
Also, I have large pores on my face that I want to minimize. Is there any topical moisturizers or treatments available for that type of thing, something preferably home-based?
Thanks!

Does anyone else have experience with extremely dry, acne prone skin?

I was on proactive, but it made my skin EXTREMELY DRY. So I stopped using the first step (cleanser) and started washing my face with Neutrogina oil free acne wash because I figured it would be easier on my skin. Now, since I stopped using the proactive cleanser, I get minor breakouts here and there, so I use Clearasil Ultra 10% benzol peroxide as a spot treatment. My face, especially this morning, is extremely flaky and dry. I just bought Clean and Clear Soft Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15 to use at the end of my extreme acne treatment, but that doesn't seem to help much and I end up putting pounds of moisturizers on top.

Does anyone have any suggestions of an acne medication that doesn't make your skin dry like proactive? I'm afraid that if I stop using it and if I just stick to my Neutrogina wash and a cleanser, I'll break out again.
The last part that says "and a cleanser" was a typo. I meant "and a moisturizer"

Should I moisturize my skin?

Hello, everyone.

I'm a guy, and I've been battling acne for a long time now. I worked my way through all the treatments, and eventually went to the dermatologist and she wrote me a prescription for Epiduo. I use that, along with a Neutrogena face wash and exfoliator - I also use the Proactiv overnight mask on big zits.

Now, I would classify myself as having oily skin, I think. Around my nose, especially the cheeks under my eyes, I have large pores and VERY oily skin. However, my cheeks and jaw area are the opposite. They get extremely dry from the medications I use, to the point where dry and flaky skin is noticeable from a distance. I've tried exfoliating, not using lotion there, even not washing it, but it stays really dry. I've always shied away from moisturizers because I do NOT want my "t-zone" to get any more oily. I was wondering, however, if I could just use moisturizer on the dry areas and leave my nose the way it is? Now that I can control my acne (to an extent) I'm trying to focus on having healthy looking skin.

PS: Are there any little home treatments I might be able to use to reduce the size of my pores? I don't think it's a huge deal, however. My parents say I have large pores and an oily nose area because I'm part Italian.

Thanks, everyone.

Skincare routine for combination, moderate acne, and acne scars?

Hi!
Recently i've been having a pretty bad time with my skin. I've been swapping my skin care routine around because i just CANT find a good skin care rountine for my combination skin , and i have moderate acne on forehead, cheeks and chin area. I also have many dark acne scars on my cheeks and on the right of my eye area---they are so noticable and visible.
It is really annoying because ive been reading so many product reviews and wanting to buy all these cleansers, moisturizers, toners, spot-treatments, masques, sprays, creams...you know...everything!
I currently use:
Clearasil daily gel wash
Clean and Clear oil-free toner (which i will stop using cause it has alcohol!)
Clean and Clear oil-free moisturizer
Clearasil ultra 5% benzoyl peroxide cream (and on other nights i use Mario Badescy Drying Lotion, but that sometimes makes me break out even more!)
I really dont know what to do, right now i look like a horrible ugly monster with scars, combination skin and lots of pimples and so many blackheads on my T-Zone.
Please help me by suggesting some products i could use for
1. Cleanser, Moisturizer (and toner if you think thats neccesary)
2. Spot treatment, or acne cream/gel.
3. Acne scars
I live in australia so we dont have all the products that the US and other countries have :(
Thanks so much for reading all this!!
:)
