best acne treatment for me?
okay this question is short, sharp and shiny. I've been using pro activ for about 3 years and it's worked wonders! It's got rid of my pimples like bam! the only problem is it has dried out my skin and made it all patchy so I want to change brands. Can you suggest a brand that is highly effective in killing pimples yet is still quite gentle so it doesn't dry out my skin? I have sensitive skin!
I don't like going to the beach with my friends because of my acne?
Is this normal or weird ? Because i hate going to the beach and i live in Cali and they go a lot to the beach but thing is i can't because I look ugly without makeup i have chest acne and some bad acne of my cheeks and forehead :( so Im literally scared to go and meet my friend's friends and all ;\ and its almost the end of summer so i really don't know what to do.
And makeup usually smudges off and would clog my pores and make my acne worse so i can't really wear foundation to the beach,.
I do go to the dermi but it hasn't helped but if you know of a product besides benzyl peroxide ,proactiv,etc etc please help
I know many people have acne but these friends don't there faces are beyond clear and whenever i go to the beach i feel like im the only one who has it and pro activ didn't really work for me.
acne prescription, why it is good/bad? ?
so just a few questions...
i really want to go to a doctor and get acne prescription!
But need some help (and info to convince my mom to let me go)
because my mom spent a lot of money on pro activ and it didnt work at all
1. Is going to a doctor and getting a prescription for acne going to work or not really, like is it effective?
2. Do you have to have a parent or guardian with you to get a prescription because my mom says i cant go so i wanna take my sister..... shes older =]
3. Are acne prescriptions bad for you?
4. Is there a pill other than birth control for acne because i dont want to use like gels and crap because i have acne all over.... not just my face....
5. Do acne prescriptions also treat blackheads?
because pro-activ treated all my white heads but didnt treat my blackheads?
6. Are prescription drugs really expensive and after you get the prescription how often do you have to go to the doctor to "renew it" or do you not have to...
lol
im pretty clueless to this.... thanks for reading!
What is a good cheap moisterizer what will not clog my pores or break me out?
I have over sensitive skin and have found nearly every moisterizer clogs my pores...even when it says it will not. I have tried the Pro-Activ but it makes my face peel and redden. So any tips on preventing acne and a moisterizer for when I wash my face?
***Will I get rid of acne, or will my skin just get irritated?***?
I'm doing to do this when I wake up in the morning, and before I sleep:
-Wash face with Morning Burst from Clean&Clear (this has NO acne medication, it just controls shine and gets rid of make up, oil, and dirt without over-drying skin.)
-immediatley after washing face, put 10% bezoyl peroxide (spot treatment) on areas with acne.
*If it matters, I have "combo" skin, pimples on foreheads, and black heads on and near nose. *
Ya I've used pro activ, and i stopped cuz when the face wash got on my clothes, it bleached it and it wont come off.
JUST ANSWER MY QUESTION! DONT GIVE ME CRAP ABOUT A DERMATOLOGIST! I KNOW for a fact that there are people EVERYWHERE in the world who have got rid of ACNE WITHOUT seeing a dermatologist.

Is it safe to use different products for facial wash and moisturizer?
Facial wash: Clean & Clear Acne Wash
Moisturizer: Oxy Oil-control Moisturizer
Acne cream: Clean & Clear Spot treatment
I do not use Oxy Facial wash and acne cream because I heard it dries out skin badly. and I do not use clean & clear moisturizer because it contains salicylic acid which I heard is bad for skin.
So is it safe?
And I did not buy Pro Activ or other moisturizer or acne treatment because I can't afford it at the moment.

Which Acne Treatment will clear my face the best/fastest?
Clean And Clear Advantage(Acne Control Kit), Neutrogena(The pink one that's supposed to smell good, I'm not sure of the exact name), or Regular Soap.
DO NOT RECOMMEND PRO ACTIV OR CLEARASIL,
They don't work on me! Pro activ doesn't do a thing, even after 5 months and Clearasil just gives me more acne.
IF YOU WANT MORE INFO READ THE FOLLOWING, IF NOT JUST ANSWER:
My friend used to use regular acne products on her face and it was bad, like you couldnt see a single clear spot on her forehead, and her entire face was always swollen with them and then she started using Soap and it got better. That's why I included that.
I used to use The Clean and Clear Acne Kit but all of my friends said that it stopped working after awhile, I want something that'll work for atleast a year on my skin. Everyone said it stopped working after a month. It worked really good on my skin at first but i stopped using it after my friends told me this(i had been using it for about 3 weeks)
I used to use Neutrogena All the time and it always cleared things up, not super fast, but fast and It was good. I really liked it, i've never kept up a schedule with The new kind i have to know if it works or not So, I'm just going to go with whatever is most recommended.
My Skin is oily, and delicate. I stress alot and I never know what works. I've also asked another question like this but I didn't seem to get answers I had hopped for.
DO NOT RECOMMEND ANY OF THE OTHER THINGS I HAVE SAID.
Anything else, Feel free to recommend but also if you had to pick please include one of those ^^^ in your answer.
ALSO, I usually wear makeup everyday(cover up) I use a non-oily or pore clogging Cover up, I'm not sure of the brand I forget but thats just a little extra to add...I guess?
