I'm having tons of trouble with getting the skin on my face to look well. I have a general red complexion, and still get pimples and acne. I tried using Oil-Free Acne wash, but that dries out my skin. Then, I try using a moisturizer cream, but that causes more pimples.
How can I get a smooth, healthy glow for my face?

St. Ives Apricot Scrub w/ 2% salicylic acid worked wonders for me. You can get it at Walmart for $3. I've used everything from proactive to neutrogena. St. Ives is the only thing that worked for me. also, use a light moisturizer w/spf 15, oil of olay makes great moisturizers--this protects your skin from harmful UV rays. Lastly, apply a 10% benzoyl peroxide. walmart makes one that works great, and its only $2. I now have great skin and always get compliments on my skincare routine. hope this helps you! good luck.

Hi. Ohhh i have tried everything, and i am still dealing with acne at the moment. But i find that using acne products just irritate the skin more so i use mild soaps like Cetaphil and neutrogena facial foam cleanser. But my mum is making sure that i eat healthy fruits an vegetables. Try going on a diet only eat fruits an cut down on the red meat for 3 weeks an u may see best results. Oh you can check a dermatolgist an she might put you on antibiotics. Just dont stress about it... its will go away.

Take a multivitamin for hair, skin, and nails. You'll really see a difference in your skin. I get mine at my local drugstore. Also, try using a facewash for sensetive skin. Aveeno has some great products for that. After you cleanse your face, use a toner that is alcohol free and is made to fight pimples. Lastly, put on an oil-free moisturizer that has some SPF protection befor eyou apply your make up. Also, check to see that your make up is oil free, hypoallergenic, and won't clog pores. It should say it on the label. Good luck!

YOU SOUND LIKE YOU MAY HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN. MAKE SURE YOU GET PRODUCTS WHAT DON'T HAVE BENZOYL PEROXIDE INSTEAD USE ONES WITH SALYCILIC ACID. BP WILL MAKE SENSITIVE SKIN RED AND DRY OUT. SA IS GENTLE ON THE SKIN SO BETTER FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN AND STILL TAKES AWAY PIMPLES. WHY DON'T YOU TRY USING AN EXFOLIATOR SINCE YOU SAID YOU HAVE DRY SKIN. THIS TAKES AWAY DEAD SKIN CELLS. DON'T OVER DO IT THOUGH AND YOU WILL GET MORE OILY SKIN. JUST 1 OR 2X A WEEK. THIS IS WHAT I USE IF IT'S NOT FOR YOU GET SOMETHING SIMILAR TO IT. http://cgarcia1.qbeautyzone.com/products/product.aspx?itemno=E5018
THIS IS SAFE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN. http://cgarcia1.qbeautyzone.com/products/product.aspx?itemno=104210

try to find a cleanser with benzoyl peroxide in it. Then use a non comedogenic moisturizer. Usually the acne washes have salicylic acid in them and it is very irritating. Also use an exfoliator. I like st ives.
You could try proactiv, but it might dry your skin out. They have a money back guarantee.
Better yet see a dermatologist and tell him or her what you said here.

eat a healthy food avoid meat, sugar, fats and alcohol cuz it makes ur face more red. and if u get lots of peoples just go to doctor and ask him for this cream called azelex. over the counter products doesn't really help cuz i used to break out like frequently and it would always leave a ugly mark, and ever since i started using it got rid of my acne marks and pimples and lots of water least 3 liters a day. u know what just try eating only vegetable and fruits, and yogurt for week see if there is some improvement

If your skin is red,especially around your cheeks you may have sensitive skin. Try using products for sensitive skin only. Something Hypo-allergenic (good for people with allergies) and non-comedogenic (wont clog pores). If your skin is also prone to breakouts, stay away from creams and lotions that will only cause trouble for you, unless they are specially formulated for your skin type.
My son used Pro-active and it was great for his skin .

After using Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne wash, use Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture for Combination Skin, it moisturizes dry areas and it controls oily shine. It does not cause breakouts as it is oil-free, non-comedogenic (won't clog pores), hypo-allergenic (won't irritate sensitive skin), fragrance-free and dermatologist tested.
