How do I get rid of blackheads?

I use Neutrogena Acne Control which does help my skin, I hardly get any pimples at all. But that's not my problem, How do I get rid of blackheads? I wash my face twice a day and those little suckers are still there. I also use oxy pads but those don't seem to help the blackheads, just the acne. I have tried getting a hot towel and opening the pores and squeezing them out.. but it goes away for about a week and then comes back. I'm tired of having to always do that. Any suggestions? by the way Proactive does not help my skin, it actually made my skin break out even more and dried it up to the point where I had layers of skin coming off.. so no need to suggest that product to me. -Thanks!

How to get rid of acne & oily skin?

i hate zit. i hate them so much. so I used to have perfect skin, it was smooth, toned and pretty with a silky feel until... it started to get oily. Now, I have an acne outbreak with several blackheads (not that much though) and whiteheads. It really grosses me out, I really don't like it. Whenever i look in the mirror, I can never feel pretty and it makes me depressed sometimes. So, naturally I wanted to get rid of it. fast. I tried oxy pads, and some retin A (perscription) and none of it worked so i started using acne free and that helped a lot but the cleanser sucked so I changed to a Garnier cleanser for oily skin and it helped too (nd i used the toner and liquid stuff from the acne free thing). But I still have zits on my chin and my nose that are really bad and little zits in other places. My friend got a pill to help her zits but my mom, who's a nurse, won't let me take them since they're like birth control in away and yeah... So, what am I supposed to do? My skin get so oily after like 20 mins of cleansing my face... Ughhh. I hate it so much. Can anybody help? It won't go away!

btw its sort of combination skin that turns into oily skin...

thanks :)

Acneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee? :o?

I'm 14, and I have moderate acne. I really want to clear it up, but I can't seem to find something that works. Proactiv only works for some people, and I'm not one of them. :[
I have these Oxy pads, and they kind of help. But I keep breaking out.
What acne treatment can I use that isn't super expensive, and if possible, are there any kind of treatments I can make at home with like cinnamon and lemon juice? [it works a little]

Danke. ^___________________^

How to get rid of low mild cystic acne?

my acne is not supperr bad but its still bad, especially on my right cheek...is there a way where it can go away in the next 2-3 weeks? thanks guys!

ps. my routine is: i wash my face with OXY face wash, then Clean & Clear moisturizer, then the OXY pads, then the OXY treatment; the one with salicylic acid in it. then usually if i go out somewhere i get very self-conscious and so i put foundation(Dream Matte Mousse Foundation). then some blush..i know i shouldnt but i dont want to show off my acne :(. but then i wash it off when i come home and do the whole routine again.

pss. i tried proactiv, didn't work
well i dont know for sure if it's cystic acne because it doesn't hurt but it kind of does look like cystic acne because it's red and ugly.

pimple issues?

i have sensitive skin and suffer from pimples. i tend to use noxema facial washes (spec. triple clean, blackhead cleanser, etc.) and acne pads (noxema triple clean, Oxy pads) and/or liquid acne treatments (10-0-6, etc.). these products clear up my skin for a while but i still suffer from pimples and sometimes i breakout in the same spots i used to have pimples in after they cleared up for a month or so. Does anybody know any tips, products or home remedies they have heard of that may help? How about for bug bites? Prickly heat rash on the back?
i've tried clearasil and clean n clear but they make me break out more and turn my face red.
My choices for best answer are: Stara, purplehaze08, kay j., melinda, and me. Thanks to everyone who answered and for the great tips on products and sites to check out.

How do I treat my acne?

I tried using Proactiv two to three times a day for roughly two and a half months, and it had no effect. I also tried washing my face with a Neutrogena facial bar soap and using Oxy pads afterward two to three times a day for about a month and a half, and it did nothing.

I drink mostly water and green tea. I'm very conscious about touching my face, so I never do that. My skin is very oily and a natural light tan color. My acne is mild; no blackheads or whiteheads, just regular pimples and open pores.

Is there any brand or technique you reccomend? Thanks.
