Any acne product you recommend (for dry/combo acne prone skin and acne scars)?
I recently started getting acne. (And by recently, I mean last year in 6th grade. The same year I just started getting my menstrual cycle. a.k.a period.)
Any-whoo. I'm in the 7th grade and I'm 12 years old. I have combo/dry skin, and I've tried almost every product in the world. Which isn't very wise considering the fact that the economy's bad. :P
HISTORY:
When I started getting my monthly, I also got a zit once a month. I used some products, but it didn't work. It started getting worse in the beginning on 2010. I started getting 2-3 zits a month, and then, right when I went to go to China, (around July) I had 6-7 zits all over my face. I just broke out. Blackheads, whiteheads, crystalline acne, anything and everything. You name it, I had it.
I couldn't stick to a daily regimen because when I was in China, I was in a village, and plus, you don't see many 12 year olds with travel size acne kits, now do you?
Anyway, when I came back to America, some of my acne had diminished. I was stuck with a lot of scars. But my skin was still pretty bad because my pimples just kept coming back. When one zit had disheveled, another comes. When that goes away, another comes. It was a never ending cycle. But then I started using Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Cleanser and it went back to 1-2 pimples a month. I'm still stuck with scars.

Now that that's done, can anyone recommend me some products? I know that everyone's skin is different, but I'm still willing to try anything and everything to reduce my acne and my acne scars. I know I inherit my acne from my mom (she had had it when she was little and my brother has acne too...but much less milder than mine) and maybe because of my period? I don't know.

Acne treatments anyone?
I have this red zit on my nose, i need to get rid of the redness like by tomorrow, anyone know any home remedies to make it not so red? please help :)
Does sun help get rid of body acne?
I have been suffering from awful back acne for the past 2-3 years, and some mild chest acne. Ironically, I have the odd zit on my face, other than that i'm clear.
It gets really bad in the winter, and in the summer it pretty much goes completely away.
So my question: Should I go tanning to help get rid of it? I've been scrubbing my back for months and it has helped, but it's still pretty bad.
Also, if I only go once or twice does that increase my risk of cancer?
Getting rid of chest blemish marks?
So occasionally I have a little chest acne. Actually I don't even think I could call them zits because sometimes alot of it is just these little bumps on my upper and lower chest area. I exfoliate, use face wash on them. If one is actually a zit and I do have to pop one however, there are always these little raised white marks on me after it's gone. I have very fair skin, and they always show on my chest unless i'm tan. It's not bad, but it's enough to bug me. Would anyone call these post bump marks a scar, or new skin marks? And how would I go about getting rid of them? They seem to not go away at all.
Neutrogena oil-free acne wash redness soothing gentle scrub?
So basically I have pretty clear skin except for really bad blackheads on my nose and reallllly red cheeks. I mean I get an occasional zit, but that's it.
So I bought this cleanser today. Has anyone tried it out? Do you think it'll help with my skin problems. How long will it take to see results?
If you've tried it and it didn't help, do you have anything to suggest?
Thanks(:
WILL CLEAN & CLEAR ADVANTAGE ACNE SPOT TREATMENT WORK FOR THIS!?
okay, So I have a problem pimple,... yes we all hate them! ehhh. It appeared Sunday afternoon and it was beyond swollen, and it was one you just can't squeeze. Anyways I have been putting ice cubes on the zit to take away the swelling, and for the most part it isn't really swollen no more...except the fact that it's realllllllllllllly red around the area. ummm the redness diameter is about the size of my thumbnail, I think...But the actual swelling is very little. And to make it worse, Monday night I accidentally scratched over the area and the skin peeled a little bit >:/ so it is almost an open wound kinda,.. and I don't want it to scab over badly (any tips to help with this) The skin didn't peel to where it is a big open wound, it only peeled a little bit. But will this spot treatment help with this zit... and will it make it go away if not make it way less red so it won't be too bad, and so that it will be okay to cover it up till it goes away? Thanks!
If I use this as recommended 1-3 times daily will this visably reduce these symptoms by saturday!?!
