I have really bad acne. Is there a product I can use?
I have really bad acne and I have this new skin-care routine using a gental face wash, an acne scrub, and 10% benzol preoxcide gel spot treatment. It really helps, but it never really goes away. Is there anything that I could use to make it go away completly? And also, if anybody makes fun of me for my acne, is there anything I could say?
I need help with Acne, blackhead, enlarged pores, scaring, really oily skin, and want to whiten skin?
So first of all my skin is oily from genetics and slightly sensitive. I have very mild acne but a lot scaring due to past acne. I have a lot of black heads and a lot of enlarged pores. My skin care routine is cleanser toner moisturizer for night and day and a egg white mask when i get home from school 7 days a week and exfoliation with sugar and olive oil before getting in the shower 7 days a week. I really want to get rid of my acne, black head, and enlarged pores and also want to even out my skin because my cheeks are lighter than the rest of my face. I was thinking of using cucumbers or potatoes or tomatoes to whiten my skin but want to fix my skin care routine first. what should i do please help.my questions are how should i fix my routine? how can i improve my acne, blackheads, enlarged pores,and scars? And how can i whiten my skin naturally and which is better cucumbers,potatoes, or tomatoes for whitening (i know i cant use lemon because it stings to much)?
Is it bad to have a skin care routine at 13?
I asked a question asking if i had a good skin care routine and a lot of people say that i shouldnt use all these chemicals on my skin or even care about my skin at 13.
I just use cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer and acne medication from the dermatologist for my back/chest acne.
it would be gross not to wash my face at all.
i also use spf 35 during the day
is that ok?
Question About Skin Care Routine?
I'm just wondering what the best skin care routine is.
1. A face wash, toner and moisturizer.
2. A face wash, treatment gel, acne spot treatment and moisturizer.
3. A face wash, toner, acne spot treatment and moisturizer.
4. Any of the above, as well as a face mask and/or scrub 1-3 times a week.
5. Any of the above, as well as being on the pill.
Which do you think is the best or what would you suggest? I live in Canada, and I've had acne for about 6-7 years. I'm currently using Murad (about 6-7 months). And I'm just trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong or if the products/routine is too harsh for my skin. I have sensitive, combination skin. I've tried numerous products, including proactiv, and I've been to 2 doctors several times and everything they've suggested hasn't worked. I'm just looking for some ideas of what people think is the best. Any suggestions would be WONDERFUL!!!
Thanks :)
Has anyone found an acne cleanser/treatment that you can buy from Wal-Mart that actually WORKS?
I have moderate acne. I used to use Dermalogica Skin clearing wash, rapid clear treatment pads and neutrogena anti-acne moisturizer to help clear my skin. It worked...For a couple months..... Then, it just didn't work anymore. So, I decided to switch up my skin care routine a little. I started washing twice a day instead of just once. That didn;t help...It just aggravated it. So I started using Neutrogena's Pink Grapefruit cleanser, followed by the rapid clear treatment pads and Velocity Moisturizer...Well, once again, it's not helping AT ALL! SO....DOES ANYONE KNOW OF AN ACNE CLEANSER/TREATMENT THAT YOU CAN BUY FROM WAL-MART THAT ACTUALLY WORKS AT CLEARING UP YOUR SKIN?!
YES- I WANT to go to the dermatologist! But my mom won't let me (I'm 17). I feel hopeless, cuz while she's busy telling me that my acne will go away on it;s own, I'm getting more and more scars (I think.... Idk.). And it is hereditary to some extent. My mom had it (not sure if it was as bad as mine) when she was young, but her parents let go to the Dermatologist. Rather than see it as a skin problem that CAN be cleared if we find the right treatment, she blaims it on me drinking "too much Dr Pepper"!

What other methods should I use for my breakouts?
I breakout. It's not even terribly noticeable (Mostly because my bangs tend to cover it. And don't think my hair is causing it because it was just the same before I got bangs.)
Just like anyone else, I don't like it.
I get white heads here and there. Every once and a while I get some that are deeper (kind of like under the skin), and some are just little bumps that don't look like pimples they just look like...well, little bumps. All of this for the most part happens on my forehead and some on my nose.
I don't have sensitive skin.
I have a skin care routine as well. Mornings I use warm water, clearasil daily face wash to get out all of the oil and dirt, and then follow it with clearasil Ultra to prevent breakouts. I repeat this at night before I go to bed as well. I use oil free moisturizer and make up. And I'm careful to not use more than necessary. Even most of the week I don't wear make up because I'm in my house a good majority of the time.
This is not severe acne. Just the typical breakouts. I don't have a lot of stress and I don't work in a dirt filled environment.
What else can I do? My routine is good enough to keep it somewhat controlled but it's not enough.
I've tried A LOT of other products and nothing has really worked.
Any tips?
i need a dermatologist to help me! or just someone who knows about skin!!!?
ok so im 13 and my family cant afford to send me to a real dermatologist. and we cant really afford lots of expensive medications that might not even work. so here is a description of what my skin is like...
i have very oily skin. right after i wash my face its not too oily but about 5 minutes after its really oily again. i try not to touch my face a lot, and i try to buy oil free skin products. the acne on my forehead and chin is like so : some pimples and the rest (a lot) are small little skin colored bumps. and on my chin i have tons of little whiteheads. i also have whiteheads on my under eye area. i get those same little bumps (i guess their pimples) around the corners of my nose. i have blackheads on my nose and a couple acne scars from where i (foolishly) poped pimples. i have very large very dark purpley blue under eye circles and i also have eye bags. i have little red blotches on my cheeks. yes i do wear makeup. i wear oil free dermatologist tested liquid foundation that wont clog pores. i also wear a very thick layer of concealer (which doesnt even fully cover the circles). and i wear mascara and blush. but thats it. i have two small little red dots on the line of my bottom lip. they look like they could be really small red pimples. but theyve been there for a while and they havent changed.
this is my skin care routine...
i wash my face with clean&clear face wash. then i use witch hazel as an astrigent on my skin. then i use acne treatment moisturizer by clean&clear. my routine doesnt seem to be doing anything to my skin at all. i would really appreciate some tips. and maybe some home remedies. im kinda scared to try any home remedies right now because they might make my skin worse.
im making my skin sound really bad and ugly. it isnt too bad but i would never go out in public without my foundation and concealer. thanks for anything!

what are your best homemade acne remedies?
for the most part, i have totally clear skin if i stick to my skin care routine, but every once in a while i get really deep, painful zits usually on my nose, but i can shake them in a day or so. i got one the other day on the side of my nose, and it is so big and ugly and painful and i cant stand another second with it. i've spent the past hour trying to make it at least hurt less, i've done 2 face washes, 5 scrubs, a mask, my wave, a spot treatment, an i even tried toothpaste, and it looks no different. i cant go to longs or anything anytime soon and i need it to be gone by tomorrow or i'll go nuts, so i need a really good, fast working homemade acne treatment, does anyone know one? also, i only need one or two, so dont send me to a site with over 100 or anything cuz then i'll just get confused. and dont make them too weird, make the ingredients stuff i would have
and changman, did you even read the question, what do you think i've been doing for the past hour
argh, what is with all these ppl saying wash your face, read the stinkin question!!!
Skincare routine for combination, moderate acne, and acne scars?
Hi!
Recently i've been having a pretty bad time with my skin. I've been swapping my skin care routine around because i just CANT find a good skin care rountine for my combination skin , and i have moderate acne on forehead, cheeks and chin area. I also have many dark acne scars on my cheeks and on the right of my eye area---they are so noticable and visible.
It is really annoying because ive been reading so many product reviews and wanting to buy all these cleansers, moisturizers, toners, spot-treatments, masques, sprays, creams...you know...everything!
I currently use:
Clearasil daily gel wash
Clean and Clear oil-free toner (which i will stop using cause it has alcohol!)
Clean and Clear oil-free moisturizer
Clearasil ultra 5% benzoyl peroxide cream (and on other nights i use Mario Badescy Drying Lotion, but that sometimes makes me break out even more!)
I really dont know what to do, right now i look like a horrible ugly monster with scars, combination skin and lots of pimples and so many blackheads on my T-Zone.
Please help me by suggesting some products i could use for
1. Cleanser, Moisturizer (and toner if you think thats neccesary)
2. Spot treatment, or acne cream/gel.
3. Acne scars
I live in australia so we dont have all the products that the US and other countries have :(
Thanks so much for reading all this!!
:)
