Well, it is really hard to make acne go away or fade, especially fast. There are a few things you can try, like a product such as proactiv or chemicals peels. For some thy will work, for others they won't. You could try getting your parents to let you go to a dermatologist, who, if other products aren't working for you, can perscribe a medicine that keeps oil production down or kills bacteria in your pores. You could also get some other types of treatment from your dermatologist, if he thinks it fit, like laser or heat therapy. These treatments are usually costly and need to be kept up. Perscription medicine could be a little more reasonable.

For your make-up: To make your blemishes insivisble, try to find a good concealer and pat it (DONT rub) onto them. Also, I have heard that using a product that is formulated to reduce eye redness can get rid of a pimple's redness. I have never tried it, but have heard it works well.

For your scars-first, STOP picking at the pimples. The only way you can do that and possibly not get a scar is if you only pop whiteheads, and with a pair of tweezers. Even that can lead to scarring in skin that tends to form scar tissue. So stop picking at them first. Then, go to your local pharmacy and find a bottle of pure Vitamin E oil. Every night dab a bit on top of the scars. I've found that it works amazingly. Don't worry about getting more pimples from the oil, if you just put it on the scar, I've never had any problems with pimple from it, and my skin is sensitive to getting blemishes.

Lastly, a few blemish prevention tips-
1-Keep your hands off your face. Hands have bacteria and oils on them, two perfect riggers for pimples.
2-If your hair is oily, wash it thoroughly every day and keep it out of your face as much as possible. Sleep with it in a bun.
3-Any creams or other products you use on your face-make sure they anre non-comedogenic, meaning they won't clog up pores
4-Don't scrub your face when you wash it-this will irritate your acne. Gently massage your face.
5-Take a positive attitude. If you are always acting depressed, that will be even more unattractive than a couple blemishes. Don't hide behind hair or hands, first this can cause more acne and second it looks terrible! Much worse than the acne.

Good Luck!
Happy Valentines Day!

Personally, I have struggled with acne since I was 13 and I am 17 now. I have also utilized Proactiv but it did not help at all. At first it did but then it just infected my whole face. As a result I decided I needed a dermatologist. So, I suggest you get a dermatogolist because I have no pimple left. From time to time, I get a pimple but most of the time it leaves the next day. For the acne scars, those will fade gradually as you visit the dermatologist for acne treatments such as dermabrasions. As for me, I have been going to Tijuana, Mexico to visit a dermatoglogist every month. He is amazing. I was clear in a month! If you live near mexico, you should try going to him. He seriously is the best dermatologist. I have gone to dermatologist in los angeles but none are good or they charge a lot of money. If you are interested, you shud go to his website: www.dermacosmetic.com

Hi,
You may think I am NUT for suggesting this, but it works SO well for me that I feel like I should share it. I use Apple Cider Vinegar as a toner (after I wash my face)..use a cotton pad to apply. When that dries (watch out it may sting your eyes, so close them while it dries) apply Milk of Magnesia as a mask. This will dry and you will feel a tightening...I leave it on all night...
AND I also apply a thin layer of it before I put on my make-up....it makes an amazing primer.
So why might this work.. I think it is because the MOM and the ACV puts your skin at an alkaline PH level..making it impossible for bacterial to exist.
The cool thing about this is MOM and ACV are easy and cheap to get a hold of.
IVE TRIED SO MANY THINGS and spent a lot of money trying to find something that works..so far this has been amazing.

Answer 5

ok, pro active is good to rid off ur pimples. for the scars, go ask your doctor, maybe he'll remove your scars by lasers etc... but if ur scared of those, just use ALOE VERA soap,gel or lotion, it helps remove SCARS. Just don't pick ur pimples, or if u accendently pop it, clean it den Look for a vitamine E liquid, put it on ur wounds, cuz Vitamine E helps healing your skin without scarring. Put it everytime it dries up.

Answer 6

1. quit picking. no really, QUIT PICKING!
2. wear mineral makeup...Jane Iredale is the best....Bare Minerals is also acceptable. if these aren't an option, pick something with light, sheer coverage, not a thick heavy foundation.
3. Nothing is going to heal them overnight. Period. To get rid of redness and swelling temporarily, dot on extra strength Visine a couple of times during the day.
4. Start using a gentle cleanser, Like cetaphil.
5. Once or twice a week, before the cetaphil, use st. ives apricot scrub for acne and blemishes. Scrub vigorously, rinse, and follow with cetaphil. Store brands are fine too.
6. Use a washcloth when you cleanse....buff gently.
6.5 Tone with witch hazel...it's gentle, antiseptic, and will pick up any residue the cleanser didn't. you can get it at the drug store, and it's cheap.
7. Follow with Neutrogena's On The Spot Acne Treatment or Mary Kay's acne treatment gel. Neutrogena is $4-$5, and the Mary Kay is $7 plus tax. I like the Mary Kay better, and it lasts longer. To use at night, squeeze product along the length of your finger, and spread across your face. Focus on the most inflamed areas, and avoid the outer corners of your eyes, lips, and nose to avoid redness. It will b thick and still wet when you finish. Let it dry b4 you rub against anything. It will bleach fabrics, so sleep in a white t-shirt and use a white pillowcase, etc. For daytime, spread a thin layer across the face and follow with sunblock/makeup.
8. Clean your nasty phone daily.
9. Again, stop picking, squeezing, or even touching your face when you're not cleaning or putting on makeup.
10. Wash your nasty hands every chance you get! (If you're going to touch your face, (and you are, beacuse it's a hard habit to break,) do it with clean hands.)
11. Easy on the hairspray and product that can get on your face and clog your pores.
12. Carry a bottle of water with you all the time...and drink it.

i have only today been told that pro-active is actually not good for your skin as it has bleach (what the?) in it. Pretty silly if you ask me.
St Ives scrub is great, esp if you get the blemish one.
Cetaphil soap is good as it is a neutral ph and is gentle on the skin.
As far as scarring goes, try Bio oil. Its great, non greasy and helps scars fade.

Let you face breathe for a couple of days if you can. If you must use makeup, use a tinted moisturiser

Answer 8

try Neutragena Rapid Clear face cleanser. I had the same problem as you and i started using it my 9th grade year and within two weeks i seen a difference in my face. it was much much clearer!! i still use the stuff today and i am now in college. it worked for me, so maybe it would work for you as well. it would be worth a try (walmart $6). As far as your scars, im not sure?! you may ask your doctor or dermatologist what they would suggest because you can buy stuff at walmart or other drugstores but they may be a waste of money. good luck!

You have to attack acne where it starts, with your diet. For me, diet was the cause and solution. Topical medications fight the symptoms. Start by eliminating trans fats and eating more fruits and vegetables. Once you start cleaning up the inside of your body, by eating properly, the outside of your body (your skin) will be get cleaned up too. I started a website to document my problem and solution.

You might find it helpful to read my story. Just remember to eat an all natural/organic diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. Stay away from processed foods. Use mild, all natural cleansers and don't pick at your face. Get lots of sleep and enough water for your body weight. Remember, clean body = clean skin. God Bless.

Answer 10

I have been using a great product from Nu Skin. It has been working really well for me this past year. Check out this page, there is a ton of stuff for all kinds of ailments.

Answer 11

make up probably isnt a good idea because it clogs up your pores..try using St. Ive's Apricot scrub or benzoyl peroxide creams or the actual benzoyl peroxide. keep your face dry. wash your face twice a day too with a face wash.
i'm not sure about the scars though
