Does iqqu acne serum work?

I've always seen these products on michelle phan's videos and read some reviews about it. Most of them were positive results, but it's , so I'm still debating on whether I should get it or not.
I have whiteheads, blackheads, acne scars, pimples, big pores that I want to clear up.
Please reply if you've used iqqu acne serum!
Thank you (=
I'm just asking if you've tried the iqqu product, not what causes acne because I can obviously just google it. Please don't give me other product recommendations.

I need help finding a new skin care routine?

Ok, I have been using this routine for a while now and I think it's time to change it. Because some of the products aren't working as well as they used to.Right now i'm using:
Cetaphil moisturizer for dry sensitive skin - This stuff saved my skin during the winter.But it tends to make my skin feel oily and sometimes i'll break out.Occasionaly I'll use Neutrogena oil-free moisture - I love the fact that it has sunscreen so I can wear it for when I go outside but the only drawback is it doesn't really moisturize my skin it gets flaky.I have mild acne just mostly blackheads so I use Clean&clear Advantage acne spot treatment -Sometimes it works well sometimes it doesn't i've also tried benzoal peroxide and I didn't like that.So thats what I use.. If you feel I should remove anything or add something please let me know what product and where you can get it I prefer getting it from cvs.I heard your supposed to be using a brightening serum and I want to use an antiaging cream like olay
Oh and I also use biore nose and forhead blackhead strips I like those... Thanks for all your help!

Any Aestheticians??? I need to know about High Frequency Facial Equipment usage for treating acne?

Okay...so i have cystic acne and the 1 thing that actually worked on my skin when I received a facial was the high frequency machine. I bit the bullet and bought a high-end spa device that is the identical device that my aesthetician uses on me to treat acne using high frequency.
she put a salicylic serum on my face prior to using high frequency. she told me that the combination of the serum with high frequency would help to further penetrate the salicylic serum.
I am just confused because i thought that this device should not be used in conjunction with alcohol based products.
Can you let me know what is classified as a safe serum to put on my face (that will help my cystic acne) prior to using the high frequency device. I want to use a serum in conjunction with the treatment!
Please give me proper instructions for the most effective treatment( inclusing best serums to use with this device during treatment).... including how often i should to it!
THANKS

ACNE HAS RUINED MY LIFE!?

So I'm 15, male, and I have acne, not super super bad bad pretty bad. I have a mess of zits (more just red bumps) and such on my chin, 4 or 5 on my forehead, 4 or 5 on my cheeks and 5 or 6 around my jaws. I just have a ton and it is ruining my life!

1) I don't want to hang out with friends any more because I know they think it's gross and I look ugly with the zits, it's disgusting, and I don't go to any fun parties or anything like that. Cause before I was hanging out with people and stuff, I had great funny friends, hanged with popular friends etc. and now they see me at school and wonder who does he hang out with and stuff and they think I'm a loser and everything!
2) I've tried numerous cleansers before and doctor prescribed spot treatment and none of that has worked. Recently, about 4 weeks ago, I was Google-ing the Top Acne Treatments and I found Exposed Acne Treatment at the top of every list. So I ordered the kit and I've been using it for 4 weeks, and NOTHING has happened. It's even safe to say that my acne has gotten a liitte worse, more zits!
3) I don't get much sleep because when I'm at home I'm always trying to treat my acne or I am just so time consumed over it (always looking in the mirror) and stuff, and it takes time away from me doing my homework, which I have to end up staying up really late to do in the end, after I apply my cleanser, clear pore serum and acne treatment serum (from Exposed Acne Kit). THEN, I have to wake up earlier before SCHOOL so I can apply my cleanser in the shower, then after apply my clearing tonic (from Exposed kit) and some oil-free moisturizer in case my skin is peeling in some places.
4) I miss a TON of school because my zits flare up a lot or I'll get a big one on my face, or my skin is peeling and I simply stay home from school. Then I miss a lot of work, get stressed, which causes more acne! And I just hate going to school cause I know that other people think that my zits are gross (especialy girls) and I can't even look people in the eyes when I talk to them because of my zits!!
5) I know that without my zits I'm really really good looking and with them I look horrible and gross. I really hate it and I just feel like FU*K MY LIFE, I want to DIE.
