Skincare routine for a teenager?

I would really like to know some good products for a teenager to use that WORK! I have really oily skin on my forehead, nose, and chin. Even if I wash my face, an hour later, it will most likely be oily again. I constantly have pimples on my forehead, and blackheads on my nose. Though my chin is oily, it doesn't tend to breakout as much, but it has recently. My cheeks don't usually have any zits, though sometimes they may get one or two. I would really like to have clear skin when school starts in a little over a month.

Currently, I use Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Cleanser and Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer. The face wash has almost run out so next I have a Cetaphil one to use. I have heard that I should be using:
-a gel or foam-based cleanser
-an alcohol-free toner
-an oil-free moisturizer with SPF for the daytime
-an oil-free moisturizer for the nighttime
-an acne spot treatment
-a weekly microbead exfoliator or acne masque

The questions I have are: What skin type do I have? (I think its combination-oily but I'm not sure) Do I really need to be using all of these kinds of products? What are good products to use that will help me have clear skin?

Feel free to add anything, but please don't tell me just to wait.

What is the best organic and 100% natural face makeup for red acne bumps and redness all over cheeks?

I want to purchase face makeup and I really don't know what to look for .. I have fair skin and green eyes..I want natural and organic products only .. could you suggest me a good brand? I want something that isn't too cakey- but at the same time covers acne bumps around my face. I really don't know what to look for - loose powder, liquid foundation, etc?? I don't know what to buy for my skin type. I've seen Aubrey organics, ecco-bella, Physician's formula..etc..most of them have organic jojoba oil which some people suggest that it's non-comedogenic and gets rid of acne and blackheads!

Please hopefully I could get a brand type and products I could use for my face including my eyes (i think my eye area is more oily than my face!)..my face is not oily at all..it's in the middle.

Need a face cleanser for oily skin that has acne and black heads?

I am a 15 yr old female, skinny, I have oily skin with off/on acne, and blackheads. My cheeks are never oily, so I guess I have combination skin. My nose gets really oily and I have a LOT of blackheads on it.
I got a facial the other day and the lady said my pores were big too.. if that helps
And I would like a cleanser that is for my skin type. Im using Neutragena Wave right now and it worked in the begining but now its not :(

Neutrogena Personal acne treatment?

I saw a commerical for a 3 step acne treatment by neutrogena about a month ago, but I cant remember what its called, and I cant find it on the website. I use proactive, so I didnt think to write anything down, but proactive isnt working as well on me as it used to, soi I want to switch. Basically you go on line to order it, and put in your skin type, how bas your acne is, etc, and it tells you the solution that works best for you. The solutions have numbering to them, so your product could be like 33,-29-45 (the first step is number 33, the second 29 and the 3rd 45...but thats just an example, I have no idea if thats even in the right range of numbers.) Also, Hayden Panitere was in the comercial (if that helps at all, since she's in most of them haha) Does anyone know what its called? And if so, could you give me a link to where I can order it on the website?

Does anyone know anything to help my acne?

I have pimples, blackheads, and probably some other stuff and it's annoying. My face is red and looks like a mountain. I have them on my face, chest, shoulders, and back.

Does anyone know anything that is inexpensive, preferably natural, and would clear them up fast? I don't know what skin type I have.

Thanks =)

I keep on getting acne! Why is this happening?

I keep on getting acne, but I have really nice face products that suit my skin type, and I wash my face in the morning and at night and I tone and moisturize and use spot treatment. I can feel more pimples forming on my face!! I thought using this stuff was supposed to make my acne go away! The old pimples are going away, but new ones are forming! Why is this happening??

PS: Please don't say to buy any products like Proactiv or junk like that because I have already tried it and I was allergic to it.

any good acne products treatments ectt you have tried? read on….?

okay , i have had acne since well, about 5 years now and i think i am at my wits end! i have severe scarring [ not pitted holes just red/purpley and browish marks] and bumps and some zits. i also have combination skin which tends to get oily very quickly [ eg. i have to put powder on at school nearly at the end of each lesson which is one hour long] i have tried many differant products and i am curently using acne getaway but i dont see any good results yet [ on my 3rd day] so i would really like to know if you have used any products that have worked, not if you have heard they worked, only if you personally or a good friend has tried them [ eg. not a friend of a friend of a friend].

sorry for the essay and i dont mean to be picky, but please tell me how long roughly you have had acne for, if u have scars, how bad you have spots and what you skin type is eg combination, oily, dry ect..

thank you sooo muchh !!!!!!!! :)

I AM 14.

Acne product for my skin??

now i am feeling very overwhelmed with all these acne products so i may need a little help.
My skin type is oily and shiny with blackheads (bad ones at that) with occasionally acne (several per month) so my main problem isn't the acne but the blackheads and oil. currently i use stridex pads, and st ives apricot scrub. my skin is soft after i use the scrub but it doesn't help the oil problem for more than an hour and a half. i guess the stridex works for my acne but i think i need something stronger.

so my question is?
how many products can a person use? (scrubs, cleansers, pads, too many!)
which products should i use?
I'm under the impression that i have to use a face scrub (2 different ones), cleanser, pads, and the blackhead eraser from clean and clear.

now my main question is:
what product (or products) should i use for my oily, blackhead, occasional acne skin?
and does the clean and clear advantage kit work? as well as the blackhead eraser?

sorry if this is confusing but im not good with wording :\
