Q: Acne Product Questions

Hi Smile I am curious about how to clear up my 'acne' It's not technically acne, but it is still very bothersome when all my friends have pretty much flawless skin. I usually only have 1-3 pimples at once that really stand out, but I have these bumps on my forehead. They aren't read, or do they look like there is pus in them, but I believe they are whiteheads. Problem is, they don't go away. Unless I squeeze them which a) is gross and b) causes it to turn into a pimple and scar. I have tried so many products. (okay not that many but I don't want to waste money) I am currently using Clean and Clear advantage system. It comes in silver and purple bottles. I tried neutrogena acne stress control and I also tried noxema blackhead control and oil-free neutrogena acne wash. I want to use pro-activ but am scared of the cost and I heard it isn't very affective and also I would like to try this new Neutrogena acne system. It says it's the number one choice by dermatologists, but don't they all say that? I would love some advice!! Thanks =)

I've heard proactive wont do any good either...my dermatologist actually told me its pretty much like everything else thats already out there its just way more expensive..if you continue to have problems try Differin..it comes in a gel or a cream and I get the occassional break out but one application of that over night and its pretty much gone, its great stuff..but you have to be careful bc it can dry your face out...i'm pretty sure you have to get a prescription for this too...but its great..if you do end up trying it out go for the cream instead of the gel...i find it dries my face out less

hey^^

when i used proactive i got all these really itchy red blotches on my face... =___=
Try "lalisse"
i've been using their "anti-spot serum" for about 3 months and so far it's working pretty well on me. My skin hasn't completely cleared but it is a lot more under control~ it contains crushes pearls, which are apparently really good for skin~ although it's kinda pricey...

hope it all goes well for you =]
