What teeth whitening strip product do you suggest?
I'm 15 years old and my teeth aren't exactly white, i'm thinking of buying some whitening strips product ( not the floss, or any of those other stuff) so which ones would you recommend? Also it has to be available in like a common store like walgreens, or something cuz i can't shop online. oh ya i forgot to ask is the crest whitening strips that makes your teeth very sensitive a big problem? and does it have a long term effect?

A few random things I picked up over the last few days.
what type of acne wash works the best?
i've tried clerisal, clean and clear, loreal, all types of spot treatments, and home remidies (ice, advil on pimple, and anything else you can think of). none of them work! What type of acne wash/face cleanser works the best? I have normal/dry skin. is there any that i can get at walmart, walgreens or cvs? Thank you so much!
Need Serious Help. Has Anyone Sought Professional Treatment For Their Acne?
My acne got on my last straw today - I walked into the shower this morning and overnight a giant, .75 inches in diameter, zit appeared on my chest. Yes... I have acne... on my chest *sigh* in addition to my back, forehead, cheeks, neck, chin, even some on my lips, and I've gotten acne on my legs and arms before, places people wouldn't typically imagine. I am an 18 year old male and I'm ready to give up on these little WalGreens treatments that suppress the problem for a few days after weeks of repeated use. Even if a patch of red and pus fades away, an even uglier one will replace it somewhere else.
I've always had constant acne since the age of 12 or so but only two or three pimples not dozens or even a hundred at any given moment. This kills me to look at the mirror, to look at my peers who have clear faces (limbs, bodies, etc.) without even trying. I'll admit that a year ago I would pick at and pop my zits and that would leave gross, crusty, fleshy red marks on my skin that only hours later would be replaced with another capsule of opaque pus. I haven't done that in a while but at least then the acne was only on my face! I have run cross country for my whole high school career, obviously causing me to sweat everyday (except Sunday) but I would think that showering wouldn't make that such a huge problem. One more potentially key factor to consider is that this year I joined the weightlifting team and we work out every weekday and on Saturday I go the YMCA to get in more cardio exercise. On Sunday I go to church, work on my video projects (I hope to be a visual effects artist, SCAD accepted me), do the homework I probably put all off for today, and lastly attend youth group. I don't regret my rather packed schedule of honors courses and my part time job as a cashier, I went from flat to six pack and broke to thousand-naire since the beginning of this school year, it's like a dream minus the overbearing, hideous acne. I am not overweight, I am 171 lbs and exactly 6'.
I want to know if anyone has gone to a professional doctor for acne treatment and has had highly satisfactory results. How much would it cost, how long does it last for, what are potential side effects? I am in the Chicago area. Anything, any seriously effective safe treatment, advice, foods, or anything that has worked for your severe bodily acne please do share.
Are there any ways to zap a zit fast?
I have really bad acne. I've tried just about EVERYTHING out there, and yes, each for al least 2-3 weeks. I've tried ProActiv, Neutrogena Wave, just about everything Clearasil has to offer, many Meutrogena clensers and astringents, abrasive soaps, "garunteed results" (not) acne products, EVERYTHING!!! I feel like I'm the reason Walgreens keeps building new stores :) lol jk but still you get my point.
I'm kinda looking for an easy, effective home treatment for COMBINATION skin.
Right now I'm using dermatologist perscribed Duac at night and Differin in the morning. My skin doc said I'd see 99% clearer skin within 6 months, and it's been well over a year and I still have acne. I've been on Retin A and at least 3 different antibiotics but nothing works. I'm 13 and I've had bad acne since I was about 10 or 11, and I know I still have a few more years of it since both my parents had bad acne (mom on her back and dad on his face. I got both. Ain't I lucky :-/ ) I know I could just tough it out the next few years but I'd really rather not since I've already had what I feel is more than my fair share of acne.
My topicals keep huge outbreaks from happening, but I'd really like to know an effective spot treatment for the sits that pop up unexpectedly.
Oh ya and I'm not terribly unhealthy. I eat ok (like most Americans I pig out on sweets a little more often than I ought to and I don't get an hour of excercise everyday) and I'm only 130 lbs, which is only 3 lbs outside my target weight range, and I'm by no means the heaviest one out of all my friends.
I heard you can use toothpaste to dry up zits, but I've never tried it and i'd like to know of anyone has and of it worked for you.
Thanks for reading this and not falling asleep, and thanks in advance for any answers or advice you have!!!
Which Acne Cleanser/Wash would work better?
I have been using the Clean & Clear Advantage 3 in 1 Exfoliating Cleanser because I know a few people with clear skin who use it. I have been using it for a few months twice a day and I don't see any results. It has 5% Benzoyl Peroxide. My main acne problem is blackheads and I heard that Benzoyl Peroxide is much better than Sacilyc Acid at getting rid of blackheads. I don't think that 5% Benzoyl Peroxide is strong enough for me so I found two products with 10%. I am kind of worried that it will overly dry out my skin, so what is a very moisterizing oil-free moisterizer also?
These are the products:

Are these products effective? If, so which is more effective?
