Hi 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...
