So much acne on forehead. How can i cure it?
I have so many acne on my forehead. It's actually frustrating because i only have them on my forehead and not in any part of my face. I get pimples here and there but they are usually gone in 2-3 days but the acne around my face never go away. If a pimple is gone on my forehead, another one appears. It's really frustrating. My forehead is the only oily part of my face, the others are compleately fine and clear.
I have tiny hairs (kind of like the hairs you would see on your arms) in my forehead (way outside my hairline) and was thinking of waxing them off because i thought they are the ones giving me the problem. I shaved them off before i got the acne problem and i think shaving them was one if the reason why i started breaking out in my forehead.
I have medium length hair and side bangs. I don't think the bangs are the cause of this because i got them way before i even got the bangs. And i always tie my bangs back whenever i'm at home. And the acne grows everywhere and not just around ky bangs. I'm a girl btw.
I cleanse my face twice a day with Vichy facial cleanser. Use clean and clear blackhead/acne treatmen toner after. Then put on Aveeno Daily moisturizer with spf 15 after. I use covergirl pressed powder everytime i go out but only around my nose and cheeks. Never on my forehead because the acne might get worse.
If anyone can help me that will be really great because i have had this problem for 1 year now and i really want to get rid of them. Thank you!!!
best way to get rid of acne scars/hyperpigmentation for fair skin?
Ok well I have these hideous places on my face that are red and purple in color. I know that they will fade within 6-24 months but what is the best method to get rid of the problem for my skin type? Medication, treatment, home remedies, anything will be helpful at this point, I just want it to get better.
Oh I'm currently using proactiv only at night because it dries my skin out a lot and I always put moisturizer with spf 15 on day and night.

Help with skin-care routine?
I would like to include:
1. scrub
2. cleaner
3. toner
4. moisturizer
5. mask
6. spot treatment for acne (hopefully with benzoyl peroxide)
At the moment, I use the Sensaria Balancing Cleanser for normal and combination skin in the morning, and at night I use the Biore pore unclogging scrub. My moisturizer is the Biore moisture lotion with spf 15, and occasionally I'll use this gift-size even better skin tone correcter from Clinique (I'm gonna assume it's a toner, but I don't really like using it because it's more of a gel/oil product).
I have combination skin; oily on my T-zone and normal everywhere else. And I break out mostly around my hairline and on my chin, and sometimes just random places. I enjoy my Biore pore unclogging scrub and I think it works really well, but I would like to change things up to my routine. I heard the Neutrogena "On-The-Spot Acne Treatment" works well, as well as the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel from Clinique.
Thank you! (:
Very oily skin? Please help!?
I am a 27 year old mother of two. I suffer from acne (more now than during teenage years.) I also have VERY oily skin. (only on my face.) I have used products from the expensive such as Proactive and Beautiful Skin to the less expensive over the counter treatments. No help!! Nothing seems to be working for me. I use $Mary Kay$ conceler and foundation and $Bare Essuntiuals$ Powders. I use a face wash,toner and cream each morning before applying my make-up and also a spf 15 shine free moisturizer. An hour after applying make-up my face looks like someone has covered me with baby oil! Even on days that I am home and do not wear make-up it looks the same. I am employed at a residentual behavioral center for teens and most of these kids have clearer skin than I do. This has all happened within the past 3 or 4 years and has greatly affected my self confidence. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW I have been to a Dermatologist and he gave expensive creams that do not work.
Does anyone else have experience with extremely dry, acne prone skin?
I was on proactive, but it made my skin EXTREMELY DRY. So I stopped using the first step (cleanser) and started washing my face with Neutrogina oil free acne wash because I figured it would be easier on my skin. Now, since I stopped using the proactive cleanser, I get minor breakouts here and there, so I use Clearasil Ultra 10% benzol peroxide as a spot treatment. My face, especially this morning, is extremely flaky and dry. I just bought Clean and Clear Soft Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15 to use at the end of my extreme acne treatment, but that doesn't seem to help much and I end up putting pounds of moisturizers on top.
Does anyone have any suggestions of an acne medication that doesn't make your skin dry like proactive? I'm afraid that if I stop using it and if I just stick to my Neutrogina wash and a cleanser, I'll break out again.
The last part that says "and a cleanser" was a typo. I meant "and a moisturizer"

Is the Proactiv Solution Skincare line really worth it?
I'm a teenager and dealing with bad skin.. bahahah.
& of course. I haate it.
I've tried numerous clean & clear, neutrogena, aveeno, and even more types of products specially designed for acne, and oily skin.
but none of it really works out well for me..
And of course, I always watch those commericails with Jessica Simpson in it sponsering Proactiv, but seriously, does it work?
I have:
- Many blemishes, pimples, blackheads on my forehead
- Few blemishes above my upper lip
- Few blemishes/ pimpes on my chine
- Few blemishes around my cheeks
- & I have oily/ shiny skin
Here are a few questions:
- Have you tried Proactiv and would you reccomend it?
- What exactly should I be looking towards: Renewing Cleanser, Revitalizing Toner, Reparing lotion, Proactiv® Solution 3-Step System plus Refining Mask and Oil-Free Moisture with SPF 15,
Mild Exfoliating Peel, Daily Oil Control, Deep Cleansing Wash and Advanced Blemish Treatment.. there's a lot of products!
- How much is it?
- Is it effective? Quickly?
- If you do not reccomend proactiv, then what works for you and what you would reccomend for me?
- And please feel free to add anything else about proactiv or any other effective skin products, and link, and videos would be greatly appreciated.
