So this answer was intended for someone else.. but Yahoo doesn't let you answer your own questions... sooooo Merry X-mas..





Currently, the products that I'm using are: Neutrogena Pore Refining Cleanser (6.7 fl oz), Murad Anti-Aging Acne Treatment, 2: Treat/Repair (1.7 fl oz), 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide Gel (4 fl oz, and can be obtained from acne.org along with a possible treatment method), and End-Zit Acne Control Drying Lotion (0.65 oz at endzit.com).





The Neutrogena product is a good cleanser. Another cleanser that you might like is Cetaphil.





I use the Murad product for its salicylic acid, which is said to penetrate pores to clean the hair follicles, eliminating bacteria that may cause acne.





Benzoyl Peroxide reduces inflamation and also kills bacteria.





What I am doing now is cleansing my face with a gentle cleanser, pat my face dry GENTLY, and then GENTLY (barely touching skin) apply a thin layer of the salicylic acid (Murad product). I wait for that to dry. Then, I GENTLY apply the Benzoyl Peroxide. A moisturizer may be needed depending on your skin type.. I've used a moisturizer from Cetaphil.





The End-Zit product is used to dry out fresh pimples. I use it in place of popping, though it is very tempting at times...





Be aware that if you have sensitive skin, you might want to do some research yourself before you try what I'm doing at the moment. These products can cause irritation and redness to those people with sensitive skin.





For some final thoughts.. here's some information that I've found around on the net about acne. These may or may not be reliable, so do some research on your own to be sure:





Hormonal imbalance, improper dieting, and stress are factors that can contribute to acne.





Oils trapped in hair follicles can cause bacteria (P. acnes) to multiply rapidly, causing acne.





These bacteria are sensitive to UV light, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and benzoyl peroxide.





Skin regenerates - top, old layer gradually falls off and is replaced by a new layer that is beneath the old. This process of regeneration may be slowed by lack of sleep, improper dieting, and stress.





Popping pimples will release pus and bacteria, letting them roam free on your face.





Popping pimples may transfer bacteria from the fingers and nails onto the face, infecting the burst pimple area. The infection and cause an inflamatory response = redness and swelling. Practically all sources warn against popping pimples. If you do pop, make sure your fingers and nails are CLEAN - use an antibacterial soap. Only pop on the surface. Better yet, heat up a needle to sterilize it and poke just across the surface of the whitehead of the pimple. I would imagine just using End-Zit or some other product to dry out the pimple is better than popping.





So yeah.. here are some of my ideas on getting clear skin...





A gentle cleanser should be used to clean the face of any impurities upon the surface.





Maybe a microdermabrasion cloth can be used once a week in combination with the cleansing to remove dead skin cells and allow new skin beneath to come to the surface.





Either salicylic acid or glycolic acid can be applied (or maybe even both) to the face to allow penetration of the products to the pores. Glycolic acid molecules are smaller than salicylic acid molecules from what I've read, so it would penetrate the skin better than salicylic acid if this were true.





Benzoyl Peroxide would be the main acne treatment.. from acne.org 2.5% concentration is said to work just as well as the higher 5% and 10% concentration without the extra dryness and irritation. I think applying it in a thin layer very gently and slowly, allowing it to be absorbed by the skin, would be beneficial.





Radically, I wanna try products that will extremely dry out my face. I don't suggest others doing it unless they know what they're doing.. The reason I would want to do this is to dry up the pimples and at the same cause the skin to peel. This way, the top layer of skin cells will be removed and replaced by a newer layer of skin. If my face clears up by doing this, I would begin to use moisturizer to eliminate the dryness.





For scar removal, I'm thinking about first getting rid of the pimples or at least having them dried out, then using some kind of facial peel such as Jesner's, TCA, salicylic acid, or glycolic acid. As of today, I have never tried any facial peels.. so I cannot tell you the details. However, the peels take off a certain amount of surface skin layer, allowing new skin to surface. The peels may cause redness of the skin depending on the strength of the peel and how much skin is taken off.





Of course use this information at your own risk. For the safest advice ask a dermatologist, though! Good luck!I have lots of acne on my forehead and boils. Is there any cream i can put on to treat it? heres a picture of?
Wwll you look like you could be a very cute girl!!!! I think you should either go to the dermotologist or get proactiv or the new much less expensive clean and clear kit! Also i would suggest you pluck those eye browls!!!!!!
1. Keep your hair and all hair products off your forehead.


2. Don't touch your forehead at all . . . except to wash it.


3. Wash your face once a day with a mild foam facial cleaner


4. Spread a thin layer of acne cream on it at night only.





That should help it clear up pretty fast!
the best products will be prescription only.


make an appointment with a dermatologist


they will know what products are best for your situation.
Ask your parents if they will take you to a dermatologist.





Make sure you wash your face twice a day (morning and night).





Try these steps


Wash twice a day with a good cleanser like clean and clear foaming cleanser





Exfoliate once a day with st ives apricot scrub





Use a toner like seabreeze after each wash and as needed throughout the day





Also apply a light moisturizer during the day.





Make sure you keep your hair off of your forehead





Good luck girl! :)





I would really ask your parents to take you to a dermatologist though. Hopefully they will do that.
PROACTIVE SOLUTION! it totally works.. just takes some patience..about a week to see results.. Also try washing your face b4 skool and b4 bed
