Answer 1

you need glycolic skin peel

Answer 2

There are some simple solutions that you can do from home to reduce the size of your pores and help your acne scars. Also, there is a great all natural product that I recommend as well to shrink your pores and reduce your blemishes.

Home Remedies
#1: Try opening up your pores by steaming you face. Pour hot water in a bowl or in your basin. If in a bowl, heat the water in your microwave for about 3-5 minutes and place your face over the bowl for 10 to 15 seconds. Do this three times. But, be careful not to scald your face. Take some ice cubes out of the fridge after doing this and rub them over your face.

#2: Scrub your face with baking soda and lemon juice. This is probably one of the most inexpensive, but pore-tightening and effective washes that you can use.

If you are not the home remedy type, or you would like to purchase something that will work even faster at shrinking your pores, then I suggest you buy Beauty 4 Ashes Large Pore Shrinking Kit. It is filled with several pore shrinkers, including citrus fruits and essential oils that tone the skin and tighten and unclog the pores, like sage oil. It works. Probably within 1-2 months, you should notice a difference in your pores, especially on your cheeks. You can find in some drugstores and online at www.discoverb4a.com.

Answer 3

Have you tried chemical peel? There are a lot of peeling sets that you can use at home. Use a toner with salicylic acid, it removes blackheads caused by oil build up. Salicylic acid is also available as a skin peel.

The scars and blemishes caused by acne will be cleared by chemical peel too. The superficial peels from AHA glycolic and lactic acid, and salicylic acid are safe to use at home and guaranteed effective. You can use preparations in creams or lotions and apply every other night or once a week depending on the strength of the preparation.

You will definitely notice a change in your skin for the better. It will be smoother, whiter and rejuvenated because the old, dull superficial skin has been removed.

Answer 4

Use the tretinoin at night and an alpha hydroxy acid in the mornings. You may also want to try a pure Vitamin C Serum. Also remember your sunblock to protect your skin.

You may also want to try doing some home peels, such as 30%-50% glycolic acid. This can help to refine pores and give you smoother skin.

For the indented scars, you may also want to try purchasing a Dermaroller and using this to needle the scars, which stimulates collagen in the centre of the scar raising it to the surface of the skin.

Answer 5

Keep using the Retin-A. Stop using the vaseline - it's too heavy/rich.

Try a lighter moisturizer - Clinique, aloe gel, Aveeno, Cetaphil lotion.

Wear sunscreen because Retin-A makes your skin more sensitive to the sun.

Consider using a toner like witch hazel & occasionally using a clay mask. (ex. Beauty w/o Cruelty, Murad clay mask, Origins Charcoal Mask)

Answer 6

Try Arbonne's nutrimin c re9 regime. It's the best and good for you and your skin.
Your skin will glow in days and your pores will be better.

You should also use a bi weekly exfoliant
and a once weekly mask.
