I still have a few zits and pimples, but blackheads are the worst. This might sound crazy, but there is this blackhead on my cheak that I swear has been there for years. I don’t have as many as i used to, but i have a few scares on my face that i want to get rid of also. If anyone can give me a few tips, that would be really helpful.

For zits and pimples use Neutrogena Rapid Clear and for the blackheads and scars use St.Ives Acne and Blemish control. The st.ives will get rid of most of the scars except the raised scars. Those you should use scarsoft but it’ll take a few months but the st.ives will get rid of the discoloration from the scars for the most part. Use them once or twice a day, and try to drink more water and eat less junk food. Don’t touch your face or sleep on your face at night.
I actually suffer from acne and I see a dermatologist (who’s really great). Chemical peels help for any acne scars, seeing as they reduce the discoloration of the skin. Microdermabrasion is good for existing pimples because it sort of “sands down” the surface of your skin. Blackheads can be kind of tricky. I would recommend an astringent. That’ll slowly eat away at the blackheads and they’ll slowly go away. However, the results of different products on your face depend on the complexity of your skin. Regardless, you could try some home cures. There’re tons of home remedies. One I tried that I thought was really effective is scrubbing your face with a mixture of honey and sugar. Take a bowl and mix some honey with a couple tablespoons of sugar and scrub your face twice a day with that. That mixture is natural and won’t be detrimental to your face. The honey eats away bacteria that’s on your face and the sugar acts as a scrub (which also helps to remove blackheads). Try seeing a dermatologist if none of the above works. Hope all goes well! Good luck! Feel free to e-mail me if you wanna know what specific products I use or if you have any questions.
viteman E liquid… which you can get in a bottle or through liquid capsol….. ( the liquid capsol you just bust them open and rub the liquid on the scar) …… for pimples that are new put a q-tip in rubbing alcohol and rub it on the new pimple and try not to pop them…..
to get rid of scars i would exfoliate my face at least once a week with a product that is specialized for acne or oily skin, i also apply aloe Vera saliva, you need to buy a aloe Vera plant and take a piece of it cut it in half and the slime that it has you need to apply it on your washed dried face and leave it at least for 30 min. and then rinse with warm water do this at least every two days for 4-6 weeks, also apply light cocoa butter on the scarred tissue, that helped me with my acne scars and my pimples
this has worked for me .Washing my face with a gentle skin facial cleanser. There are several on the market. Scar Relief Gel. and i use Striadril =StriVectin-SD like a moisturizer.
girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl i have the same problem
Not all skin products work on all skin types. So I decided to used some that do. I use Queen Helene MInt Julep Facial Scrub. It’s not as gritty as some exfoliating scrubs and much more gentle so you can use it everyday. Then I use Sea Breeze Actives Deep Clean Astringent. It’s the yellow one. It contains salytic acid which will help for future breakouts and you can use it everyday. Last thing I use is Palmer’s Skin Success Eventone Moisturizing Lotion. It contains cocoa butter and vitamin E and will brighten your skin and even out its tone. All of these products are very, very good for all skin types and color. When I attended beauty school, we used all of these products in our facials and they work wonders. I know all of the products are different and some may say that’s it’s bad to mix too many different things but sometimes you have to do that to get a good result. Try not to pop the bumps but if you do then don’t sqeeze so hard like a lemon. That’s what causes the bruising left around the pimple or blackead and leaves a dark spot. Deal with the head of the bump first, then cleanse and the rest will come to the surface. Palmer’s also offers a fade cream that I use just before I put on the lotion. It fades those dark spots. It’s awesome. All the products are mild enough to use them everyday. Happy facials and good luck.
I use Bio-oil its really good. You can get it from health food shops.
Go to a plastic surgeon that specializes in Faces. Use Obagi for face. And try the chemical peels or lazer treatment for scars.
pimples are caused by mainly 3 reasons…
1. because you might be having dandruff that keeps falling to your face and because you dont wash your face regualrly…

3.because you body is heated up yoo much and you are never in cold or cool surroundings…
most of the poeple dont know why they have pimples or what is the specidic reason…and sometimes two or more reasons together cause pimples…so follow these steps and ure sure to get rid of them very soon…trust me
to get rid of pimples:
1.NEVER EVER USE CREMES AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET.JUST LEAVE CHEMICALS.
2. drink loads and loads of water to keep you body cool…it helps reducing pimples and also in removing scars….
