I used to have really bad skin. Pimples all over my forhead. Now that I've grown up a little, the pimples only come once in a while; but they've expanded there territory to my cheeks and a little on my chin. Not only do I have scabs on my cheeks and old scars, but I also have new pimples to deal with. HELP! What can I do to get better skin?! (And I've used every product out there, including Proactiv. And I lead a pretty healthy lifestyle.)

See a dermatologist & ask about Retin-A or Differin. I've used these prescription products; they've helped w/ my adult acne and minimized my scars too.

Try Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Foam Cleanser. That's what I use and it's working VERY well for my skin, but I don't know about you. Remember this when you're using an acne treatment or a cleanser--you won't see results in just one day. You have to wait at least a couple of weeks to let it work. Maybe you'll even have to finish the whole bottle to get clear skin. However, the best bet would be to see a dermatologist, so she/he can prescribe you an acne medication that is sure to clear your skin. Good luck!

I had the same problem nothing worked for me proactive, medications, everything off the shelves. The problem was my skin go so dry it was blochy and red. So i bought moisterizer and burts bees gentle all natural cleanser. And my face has been clear since( it takes time to work tho). Acne medications and treatments don't really work because even when they clear pimples they also beat up your skin. But when you have moist functional skin you barely ever get pimples. Hope this helps

Drink more water.
Use a gentle deep pore cleanser followed by a nonalcoholic astringent. Twice a day.
Back off the junk foods, tea and sodas.

I suggest purchasing a ZENO if you're willing to spend the money. You put it on your pimple, it applys heat for about a minute or so, and the next day it should be smaller. It works well for me.

Go on YouTube, search "Beautiful skin remedy" by bubzbeauty It's not a cream or soap! So try it!

first of all, go to a dermotoligist.
when i went, she gave me a prescription for my back acne, and she said i could use it on my face. also, dont keep using different products. it takes a few months for your skin to get used to one product.
