First you need to make sure you're cleaning your face on a regular basis. Second, although this seems counterproductive, you always need to moisturize after cleaning your face. What happens is that when you clean, you are stripping your skin of its natural oils and if you don't replace them, your skin goes into overdrive to overproduce that oil and that's what clogs your pores. Use an oil-free formula if you want to avoid that greasy feeling. Also try a clay mask once a week to cleanse your pores and shrink them - I LOVE Queen Helene's Mint Julep mask. It's cheap and at any drugstore. Also use pore strips once a week, but it's super important to moisturize after using these because they majorly dry out your skin. If these don't work, consult a dermatologist.

I've always had large pores and broblems with blackheads, but last Fall/Winter I went through this breakout, that just kept going. I went and spent a fortune, prettry much buying one of everything ( I'll admit-I was desperate) The first, and only thing I wound up happy with was the Clearasil Ultra Pads, and acne spot cream ( I wasn't happy with the tinted one, I liked the untinted soo much better, it wasn't such a funky color. I figured I'd try that one since it claims clearer skin in three days guaranteed. Well, I didn't seek a refund, I was very happy, but read the instructions, I don't have sensitive skin either, but it's really strong ( I jumped right to using it 3 times a day, my skin was really clearing up, but it also looked like I had gotten a chemical peel, problem solved w/ moisturizer though) But it really works in 3 days - faster for the blackheads.

Bad skin doesn't go away overnight.. However, start washing your face 2x a day morning/night.. Use an acne wash like neutrogena acne wash, get some witch hazel and use it with a cotton ball as a toner... It's alcohol free and cheap ! I would also get an on the spot acne treatment gel to put on problem areas at night and during the day... If you can try NOT to wear make-up to let your skin breathe. .Drink plenty of fluids and use some baking soda mixed with your face soap to exfoliate your skin.. It's gentle, cheap and probably already in your kitchen do this routine for about a month... If you don't see any improvement see a dermatologist good luck!!

While it took little less than two months for me to really see a difference, my acne, blackheads and whole lot of other skin problems I had such as eczema had completely cleared! It was totally amazing...
Get Rid Of Acne Permanently?

toothpaste just burns and try to calm down. don't touch the pimples and stressing will lead to skin problems. Try looking for soap or pads to get rid of pores or acne at the nearest pharmacy.

Don't use toothpaste; I heard it's bad for your skin. Use Neutrogena Pore Refining Cleanser (or at least I think that's what it's called). It gets rid of blackheads and you can find at almost any store for a reasonable price.

You can use Clearasil over the counter from a drug store if your not allergic to it. Best thing to do is make an appointment to go and see a dermatologist who is a doctor who specializes in treating peoples skin for problems. Hope your problems clear up for you. Good Luck!

First of all, dont stress about it. thats the number one thing that causes acne. also, be patient! it will not go away overnight, just wash twice a day, no more (overwashing makes it worse) and if you have oily skin, use a daily oil control.
hope that helps!
good luck! (=
