Continue washing your face and applying the strips as usual, but try washing your face with antibacterial soap! This stuff really works. Apply toothpaste at night to large red pimpls to reduce them dramatically. Apply lemon juice, as a mock astringent. Most importantly, go to school with a smile! Nothing looks better then confidence!

Yup, nose strips are useless and a rip off. You just need to have good general hygiene to start off with (which you already have)but try washing everyday with an antibacterial wash for sensitive skin, or use an exfoliating lotion which removes dead skin and helps unblock pores that lead to spots.
Go to your GP and see if he/she will prescribe you with some antibiotics that will help with the acne.
There are also herbal treatments such as HRI's Clear Complexion which is quite good for blocked pores.
Oh and resist the urge of squeezing or popping them... this will irritate the skin, spread the bacteria and result in more spots!

go see a dermatologist and ask what you can do about ur blackheads. tell them you have been having 4 several years. try using noxcema face wash and clean and clear blackhead face wash. i used both and they work. ur mom probably doesn't want 2 spend money on those things. tell her that if she won't buy them, then ur going 2 be a laughing stock at school. she might understand. good luck with that.

Sounds like your mom is punishing you for her bad childhood.
Ask a friend to borrow her Stridex and wash with Dove Sensitive Soap. Take your daily vitamins every other day. Relieve your sexual tension twice a week only. Watch what you eat, but eat what you want in small quantity. Keep busy and clean your pillowcase everyday or every other day. This might be the single most important of all. good-luck !

Stop buying over the counter stuff and go to a dermatologist and get something more potent.

microderm abrasion treatments will help you. there are always specials and coupons in the papers, and there not really too expensive. they also advise or prescribe a really good topical cream you cannot find in a store.
