How do you know the difference between the type of skin you have?

How do you know if you have normal skin, oily skin , or whatever the other one is, or both?

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.

Is it alright for teens to use toners?

I'm a teen and have oily skin, I have some acne blackheads, whiteheads and have big pores. I think I have these because of my oily skin, I have read some polls online saying that my skin type should use Pond's Toner for Oily Skin. Is it alright for me to use it? I just turned fifteen this May. Don't suggest some brands though, I'm afraid they are not available here in the philippines. thank you

how to naturally get rid of acne scars fast?

For the last few months, ive been getting lazy about caring for my face and havent cared baout he large amount of acne ive had on my forehead. Ive recently bought products that have really worked to clear my acne up!

Ive been using
clean&clear morning burst skin brightening facial cleanser in the morning
any random simple drug store spot treatment
and clean&clear continuous control acne cleanser at night.

THIS HAS MADE MY SKIN CLEAR UP SOOOO MUCH IN ONE WEEK, AND MY SKIN IS SMOOTHER AND BRIGHTER.

Anyways, so now it seems like my main problem is no longer acne, but acne scarring.

Even though i barely have any acne on my forehead now, it still looks like I do because of the
scarring.

Any natural ways to get rid of these?

thank you

P.S. if you have oily skin as i do, i reccomend using the treatments i said above, to get less dull and acne filled skin!

Effective Acne Treatments?

I have oily skin and get a bunch of blackheads. Recommend a good treatment? I'm not allowed to take any pills or tablets or anything swallowed unless its natural. I also tan easily and get a lot of freckles so a good moisturizer with spf that makes my skin less freckly would help too. Recommendations?
