Answer 2

Try a face cream with 8%-10% alpha hydroxy acid. Put in on once a day before you go to bed. It really helps get red out of your skin, and helps heal acne. It's also a moisturizing cream, so you'll have smooth skin. Water also really helps, but only if you drink two liters every day, in my experience less than that doesn't realy help, but water's good for you anyway!
