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.

I would like to get an advice about pituitary micro adenoma which affects the growth hormone.?

There are also physical changes taking place. Laboratory shows that Insulin growth factor and serum human growth hormone are increased. There are no medicines taken yet. What will be the next step? Do medicines can decrease the tumor or it should be removed surgically? Is there any life changes after the operation? Thank you. Hope I can get response soon. Thank you.
