My skin isn't awful, it's mild to very slightly moderate, but I did used to have awful pimples. I was wondering, is there any way I'll ever be able to have the skin I once had before I started getting acne?

Thank you :)!

Do you know of any products that would be good for me?

What is the best foundation for acne scarred skin? I have scarred skin from acne - not the usual bumpy type scars but more like small holes dotted all over, however my skin is fairly uneven.

What cleansers work well for people with oily skin and acne almost all the time? I have tried a bunch of stuff. Right now, I'm using proactiv, but I still have little red bumps on my cheeks and white ones on my forehead. My nose feels oily even only ten minutes after cleaning my face. I need something strong- I don't really have sensitive skin or anything- I just have a big acne problem. So if you know about some really good cleansers, please tell me. (By the way, if you use that Oxy stuff- maximum strength daily wash or chill factor daily wash, could you tell me what it feels like on your skin- I'm thinking about trying it out and I hear it's really good for people with bad acne). Thanks.

What hair products are best for acne-prone skin? I have lots of thick, curly hair, and as a result need to use hair products. I've gone without using anything more than a few times a month for a while, but I really do need something smooth the curls and keep them shapely, or a straightening/heat protectant lotion for when I blow-dry it and use a straightening iron. I have no problem finding products that work, but then my skin ends up suffering because washing product out every night would kill my hair. I have extremely acne-prone skin, and have yet to find anything that makes my hair look great without making my skin break out worse. Anyone out there have any suggestions? Also, price isn't an issue- a quality product is worth the cost. I do use proactiv- that wasn't the question.

How to deal with too dry acne prone skin? I've had acne since I was twelve, and I've been putting benzoil peroxide on my face since then.

What is the best treatment and make-up foundation for severe acne and oily skin? I have oily skin and bad acne...I have tried seriously everything from Pro-active to clean and clear to neutrogena to noxema to arbonne and everything in between. Salycilic acid and benzoyl peroxide do not work for me. I was looking into emu oil, but i dont know if it would make my skin even more oily or not, and if it would look good under foundation. I wear make-up as well, and since my face gets really oily quickly, i was looking for a good foundation that covers up blemishes and also does not look oily. I guess I am looking for suggestions about any face washes, creams, makeup or treatments that work well. I am a college student, and I do not have all that much money, so I usually do not get real expensive stuff. Thanks!
Skin, acne open pore info please!!t? In August this year I broke out with major facial acne for the first time aged 23. I started taking oral erythromycin in September but have since stopped due to poor results. About 3/4 weeks ago I started using benzoyl peroxide. Its really sorted out my skin and I've had almost no new acne in this time. Stupid I know but I think I have open pores. I'm not sure if they've always been there as before the acne I payed almost no attention to skin. The pores are not blocked and I can only see them when I'm almost in the mirror under hallogen light. So my question is what exactly are 'open pores' in terms of size, morphology etc, and if I have them will they go away once my skin heals completely from the acne? Thank You
Dry Skin/Acne on skin won't go away!!!? This is really annoying... I've had dry skin and acne on my skin for a while now. The acne on my skin isn't very bad but when i touch my skin there its sensitive and it burns/stings. i went to the docotr and he gave me a topical solution that i dab on the infected area but this didn't really help. I've been using cetaphil face wash as a soap for my face and then use the moisturuzer they offer after, but this has only helped a little. Sometimes my skin starts to peel on my forehead and its all flaky. Nothing i've tried has really helped. I was thinking about having my mom order me some proactive solution. It seems like it works well. Any advice is good! Thanks!

[except for some scars and stuff] i wash my face 2-3 times a day [depending on what i am doing] with neutrogena oilfree acne wash. then i tone with clinique toner and i moisturize with clean and clear advantage acne control [love that stuff...feels so good] and then on my zits/pimples/scars i put the spot treatment on it. [seems to work well] but i noticed that my skin is like uneven due to scaring and my pores are huge [sad i cant fix that] but what can i do to make it better looking. also i drink lots of water and keep hands away and wash my sheets and all the other precautions for acne. i cannot go to a dermatologist [mom wont take me] and NO PROACTIV ....hate it!!! and i have maybe 3 bumps on my forehead that are NOT ACNE. what should i do? i am running out of ideas. oh and i use bare minerals makeup when i go out but when i am just around the house i dont wear any makeup. duhh!!! of course i know what acne is and how you get it. im not stupid!!! and i hate clinique and i said that i couldnt go to a derm.
Under-the-skin acne? Hi, my question is how to get rid of under-the-skin acne. I don't get very mush acne on my face, but when I do, it's these really painfull under-the-skin pimples. They feel like bruises, but I can barely see them, they just look like red spots on my face. I most often get them on my chin, probably because I play the flute (it's very common for flute players to get zits on thier chins). But the problem is, I don't know how to get rid of or prevent this kind of acne. You can't pop it, and although it goes away on it's own, these zits are very painfull while they're on your face. How can I get rid of these zits FAST?

Oily Skin, acne, whats your routine? Hey i have mildish acne and was wondering what your routine was for cleaning your face. I mainly want people from Aust to answer this cos i need something i can get from my local Terry White, Woolies or Coles. I have oily skin (runs in the family) and at the moment i have acne. all i've been doing is not touching my face and putting methylated spirits on my face every morning and night. It seems to have helped a bit but i want to know what you recommend. Thanks.
I'm 28, sensitive skin, acne prone, with combo skin and chapped cheeks...? As my subject line says I'm 28, with sensitive skin, am acne prone, with combo skin and chapped cheeks...the acne prone and combo skin I've started to get covered...the chapped cheeks? Hurt, flake,and are pink. I've been using some cetaphil daily facial moisturizer with spf 15. It burns. And a Mario Badescu lotion with spf 17 which sorta burns...barely. Out of the 2, the Mario Badescu works better, but I don't have a lot...it's a sample. Anything else out there I could try? I use cetaphil face wash, and cetaphil moisturizer. So it's non-drying. I also live in NY, so we're very cold right now and dry. I'm under a dermatologist's care for my acne and it's finally going away. I use differin cream. I've not had any issues with it at. The dry skin came out of no where during some low teens temps. So my acne isn't the issue...preventing it is. I wouldn't want to put anything on my skin that would cause it. And the cetaphil I just bought for moisturizer, to try to help with this dry skin. I wasn't using one prior. So it's not the cetaphil drying me out.
oily skin + acne free? I have really oily skin, & I wash my face 2 times a day with acne free. Are there any other remedies to get rid of it, or at least keep it under control without interfering with the acne free? I would love/need everyones input!
Bad skin, acne, whiteheads and little lines. What should I do? First of all, I am 19. I dont drink or smoke at all. I dont eat candies, or fried food. I wash my face everyday. Ive tried proactive. Im currently using Acne Free to get rid of the whiteheads./acne on my forehead but it doesnt seem to work. I dont go to tanning salons, never have. I use sunblock but sorta stopped since winter started. I get an avg of 9 hours of sleep. I drink green tea occasionally. I believe I exercise (i walk alot at school, but havent done running/ or any type of aerobic exercises since fall). I put on lotion. Yet whiteheads have been showing up lately. I dunno how to get rid of them. Moreover, I noticed these small 2 lines on my forehead. Is it possible to get rid of them? Is it possible to for my face have clear skin at all?
Strange facial skin (acne related)? I'm 18 now, and had moderate acne from age 14-17. Since then, it's been mild, however you can see red dots and areas where smaller blemishes are appearing. However, if I look closely at my face in a mirror, I can see large pores, particularly on my nose. They appear as grey/beige dots about 0.5 millimeters in diameter, just under the surface of my skin. If I break the TINY bit of skin covering these 'dots,' I can slowly squeeze out a small, very firm, honey-colored lump about the size of a sesame seed. What are these lumps? Very old sebum that solidified? I can see around 50-100 on my face if I look closely. They've been there for the past year, although they're impossible to see without a bright light and a very sharp eye. I have no other skin conditions such as psoriasis or eczema, so it would be strange for something to be medically wrong. Any Ideas?
could hyperthyroidism cause skin problems (oily skin, acne, seborrheic dermatitis)? im a 23 year old male and have never had skin problems on my face until the past 3-6 months. i've gotten fairly bad seb derm on my face and scalp, along with some acne on my face, back, chest, and arms. my skin (epecially my forehead and face) is extremely oily, when i've never had oily skin before. i've also been feeling fatigued so i got some bloodwork done about 3 months ago. the paperwork got messed up so i didnt get the test results until today, when the doctor told me my throid levels were high. i got more bloodwork and will get the new results soon. i'm wondering, could the hyperthyroidim be causing the skin problems? i've never had skin problems on my face until now. my entire body is also itchy even in spots that look normal.
Sensitive skin/acne? so i have very sensitive skin and all like store bought acne products irritates my skin. I have tried like every one and my parents won't get me like proactiv cause its to expensive to get every month. The only thing i can wash my face with is Dial soap and that doesn't stop breaking out. How can i get rid of my pimples??? is there anyway without using the medicines from the store.

What is something that will work fast and harshly (I do not have sensitive skin) I just need to get rid of it. My face also gets red and I sweat easily. After even 10 minutes of exercising my face looks like a tomato and my pits look even worse. I shave regularly and wear strong deoderant and that prevents it for a while but it still doesn't work!!!

does the nu skin acne system work? http://www.nuskin.com/corp/product/coresystems/clearaction.shtml Have you ever used this.. does it work? Have you ever used a similar product by Nu skin? has that worked? Are you happy with the Nu skin brand? Do you think I should try this for my acne... which is mostly just faded bumps and redness..there are a few white-heads and black-heads and nasty red ones, but I have a lot of face redness. I've been to the derm. and the meds did nothing for me!
Under the skin acne? Okay, I've been using Oxy now for about a month I'd say and there was slight improvement for about a week (maybe week and a half) and now it's all back, but instead of being all stand-out zits it's just a lot of what I call "flat zits" That's when they aren't really sticking out, but they're red and inflamed and they hurt to touch and sorta feel like they're standing-out just under your skin but they're growing inward. Most of my face is iffy, my cheeks never have any acne on them, but between my eyebrows and my chin. My chin is the WORST. It's covered in red dots. They aren't stand-out zits, they're the "flat zits" that never seem to go away. Any help? Okay, well I don't think it's cystic because my brother was diagnosed with that and mine doesn't look like what he had. Mine is light and it just looks like blemishes. But I can feel them like a pimple. On all cystic acne it's more like small pockets, mine isn't pockets, it's flush against the skin.
Applying makeup on fair skin/acne prone skin? Can u reccommend any good makeups? I mostly use Clinique's Super balance or Loreal true Match. In your opinion are these good brands? How do suggest I apply my makeup? Im fairskinned, some acne, facial skin is some what rough and I tend to get blemishes. If u could help me out that would be great!
Hhmm, 10 % benzoil peroxide is too much for my skin (acne), what else could I use on my face? Hhmm, 10 % benzoil peroxide is too much for my skin (acne), what else could I use on my face that is less strong but equally effective? Also my skin is a bit dry and some areas of my cheek are a little irritated, I know that it returns back to normal because when I used to apply the porduct on my cheeks, they would get like that, but if I stoped using it, then it will return back to normal. I mean I know this product is too much for my skin, but it works so good, oh well. What is a better acne product, and salicylic acid is more irritating on my skin. What are some foods rich in vitamins that would help my skin complexion, and what are foods that I should stay away from? thanks for the help!
Remedies/ vitamins/ natural ways to help skin (acne, luminosity,etc)? I was wondering if anyone knew of any natural ways to benefit skin. I was hoping to find something natural to help with acne because I can't find anything over the counter that works. I'd like to avoid a skin doc if I can. I've tried vit e and exposure to natural sunlight. I heard both helped but I didn't see any difference. In fact, after taking a nutrition class in my college, I realized I was taking like 3300% the daily recommended value of vit e and it doesn't even have benefits for your skin! Can someone think of an herbal product or food or something I can try? Right now, I'd be willing to try just about anything.

acne & skin issues? im at the end of my rope right about now. After a long while of using clean and clear, it stopped working and i started breaking out. i had combo skin, but the oily parts werent that bad. then i started using proactiv which gave me the most GEORGOUS skin ever....untill about 3 months later when that slowly stopped working. The worst part is that the proactiv dried out my skin and when i stopped using it, not only did my skin break out even worse, but now my skin is horibly oily. im still getting verry enflamed, red, itchy acne in medium to small areas, and after trying clean and clear yet again along with nuetregena (rapid clear), it seems that its hopeless. i contunue to break out and it nothing seems to calm it down. SO.....the question is.........try out acnefree, murad, dermitologica??? or my last resort...extra streingth poractiv? im SO lost. PLEASE HELP! Any brand suggestions are welcome! and THANK YOU!
acne/skin problems? I've had a really bad case of acne in my teens years. Today, I admit that it is clearer but I still see flaws with my skin. My skin tends to be oily on cheeks, forehead and maybe sometimes nose & chin. The rest might be dry. I tend to get red very easily. To me, my skin tone appears very uneven. Like it can be dark brown, pale, red or a mixture. But that I'm never too sure. I still have acne too. There more like blackheads or whiteheads? And my cheeks look like they have tiny holes in them, but I'm guessing those are pores. I really dont know what to do anymore. I dont want to try proactiv. Any suggestions to solving some of the problems above? I'd appreaciate it alot Thanks:)

acne/skin & diet? it makes sense, but i'm not sure if its true. if you eat alot of bad,greasy junk foods, can you get bad greasy skin and acne from it? what about if you eat healthily? if you eat fruits and veggies, will you have better skin and less breakouts? i think this is probably true,but not really sure. what do you say? anyone had experiences to share?
