My skin is in between severly oily and normal, but I have a problem with small whiteheads appearing if I sweat alot or if I do not scrub my face well. I am wondering what the best acne treatment is for this condition.

St. Ives apricot scrub is good and it's not expensive. So is clearasil. They have different grades of cleansers so that you can choose which is right for you.
If you want to go a little more expensive, then neutrogena carries some really good cleansers.
Older cleansers are noxema, and it's still around and it still is a good one. Dove soap is also good. Keeps your skin in balance.
Hope this helps

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

Hello there. I thought for a minute or two about this due to the oily skin that you have. My advice would t be to ge a good astringent. I love sea breeze ( it's an oldie but a goodie) or plain witch hazel. Both work great on oily skin. Now, to help cover the acne scars. Go to the cosmetics and right to make up for older skin. They make wonderful products that actually go into the deep lines or in your case your scars. The good part about these products is they do not cake or make you look like you are trying to cover anything up. I would also buy a powder from the same product line as well. This will help with oily skin that will pop up during the day. I really believe these products will help you. I'm 42 and those lines and wrinkles are creeping up on me. These are the products that I use. The best part is you don't look like you have makeup on yet it does the job. I hope that this has helped you and best of luck to you.

The stuff that I think works the best is Clean & Clear sensitive skin foaming facial cleanser. It makes my face feel clean, fresh, and tight (if that makes sense), and it smells pretty good, too! AND it's oil-free, so you're not putting unwanted oils on your face. I really like it.

neutragena. Hubby swears by it -- the one in the pump bottle (foaming daily cleanser I think)

plain old water. Wash two or three times daily. don't overdo it, because then your skin will produce more oils to compensate.

Retin-A is avaiable from your doctor. Is works really well, but it makes you very sensitive to the sun.
