The problem is that most men don't want to use things like specialty cleansers and facials because it is deemed "girly". Not true - men have skin problems too and need to maintain their skin just like women do. Everybody's skin is different therefore different things work for different people. Look for cleansers that are specially formulated for oily skin and shrink pores. Biore is a good line for pore care that you could look into. Proactiv is relatively inexpensive and a lot of people say it has worked for them. Acne is best treated with cleansers that have some salycilic or glycolic acid in them but be careful, sometimes products like that can really dry out your skin. Of course, the best bet is to see a dermagologist and they can give you more skin-specific instructions.

The best product for this type of problem is any of the "Neutrogena PORE refining" products.
With Alpha and Beta Hydroxy ingredients they help to
A) Of course minimze pores
B) Help with Acne by sloughing off dead skin cell's and exfoliating.
YOU can buy these products at any drug store type place. Rexal, Shoppers Drug Mart, Pharma Plus, Zellers or even check out there site
www.neutrogena.com
YOU can actually buy the product ONLINE from the safety and comfort of your own home.
Remember to follow the instructions on the package if you have persistantly irritated skin from using the product instead of washing twice a day with the product switch to once a day or 3-4 times a week taking a day off in between.
The thing with any product is that YOU have to make it a part of your daily routine. Don't expect a MIRACLE cream because there isnt' ONE but with regular USE of these products after a few day's you will notice a BIG difference in your skin and YOUR ACNE.
Don't forget to PICK UP the TONER that will help you even more and YOU can use the toner on YOUR off day's so you can USE the wash ONE day and the TONER or switch it up and USE the WASH one day and the TONER the next.
Hope this helps.

NO. Eventhough my first answer is No , there are many exceptions also . What I want to say is that a girl with skin problems may not be the initial attraction of a guy . But most relations develop not only just initial physical attraction , there are other factors like personality , character , other good skills and qualities of girls [like kindness,honesty etc] . So final answer is if a girl is able to cover up skin problems with other qualities she will win ! Good luck !

My son is 18 and had the same problem, now he is using Mary Kay cleanser (velocity) and acne treatment and is working very well for him. You can order on-line and shipping is free

Try Queen Helene's mint julep mask. Its cheap and dries up oil and minimizes pores.
You can get it at Target.
