Getting rid of an acne break out quick?

It's like a little less than a month from prom. I also have pictures that are going to be taken.. I really need help controlling my acne. I use different kinds of acne treatments- all at different intervals so my skin doesn't freak out- but it always tends to come back. I can never maintain my pretty skin. What are some really effective ways of curing acne quick? Maybe some really good products? (The product I've been using the last 3 months or so is Clean & Clear Morning Burst)

which face wash or acne treatment should i use?

i have mild-moderate acne...its worse during my period. ive been suffering with it for about 2 years now. Ive tried everything from proactiv, arbonne acne system, the things you buy at the drug store, and clinique acne systems and cliniques formula for oily skin. clinique was controling my acne but it was never really 100% clear. i just recently started breakin out with the under the skin pimples ( 1-2 by mouth and chin). I tried proactiv again...assuming itll work...so far no help and ive been usiing for a week... I started tanning in march to prepare for prom, during which that time i was usually pimple less around the mouth but sometimes the under the skin pimples would c0me on my forehead. anyways -- what are some skin care lines that are recommended... ( i usually like the 3 step cleanser - toner- and moisturizer process)

also, waht are tips tokeeep zits from coming?

i do exfoliate with a mint julep mask 1-2 times a week.

How to get rid of spots on back and chest?

I have my prom coming up soon, and I constantly have spots on my back and chest - not exactly acne but they still don't look very good. As my dress will reveal my front and back, I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to cover them up, so I'm hoping to get rid of them instead!

Any ideas?

Vinegar for bacne scars?

I've heard that vinegar is a very good treatment for hyperpigmented body acne scars.

I have a lot of spots on my back. I am very fair, so they look pretty disgusting. Any personal experiences, or knowledge on how well this method could work? I don't expect instant relief from a home remedy, but prom is coming up and I want to wear my strapless dress with confidence.

Please help me create my scar treatment routine?

I have scars on my back from acne. The upper part is slightly faded, whereas the lower part has dark spots.
I have my formal/prom in 7 months so I've been using "Dermatix" gel on the upper part ONLY because that's wear my skin is exposed. I'm assuming Dermatix is more effective, and I'm using it sparingly because it's expensive.

For the lower part of my back, I'm not sure what to use. Here's what I have:

- Cocoa butter
- Vitamin E capsules (apparently squeezing the gel directly on the scars help)
- Aloe Vera (the actual plant)
- Emu Oil and Emu Oil moisturizer
- Lemon juice

Some say *mixing* Aloe Vera with Vitamin E is good, but I'm not sure what to believe. I figured trying all of them at once would be a bad thing.

What shall I do as a daily routine? Should day and night applications use the same products?

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

How do I get rid of acne scars?

I'm a 17-year-old male and I have acne scars everywhere on my face. I just want them GONE, hopefully in time for prom. I think they're referred to as blackheads?

Also, how does one...exfoliate? I probably didn't spell that right, but I think my skin could be smoother too. Any advice?

How do you get rid of acne scars on your back and chest.?

I don't have dark skin but i dont have light skin either, i would say it's right inbetween. (if it matters) Anyways i get acne on my chest and back and they leave these dark black scars. Senior Ball (prom) is about three weeks away and i was hoping to rid of them by then or at least have them fade a little. Are there any really good products or methods that can make them go away fast?
