I know where you're coming from. proactiv works...for a while. it cleans the surface but the sodium benzoil is larger than the pore so it can't get it there to clean it out! my sister started on something called ClearNow. her skin looked So much better than the red painful rash she used to call her face. it uses a patented formula of sodium chloride that actually fits into your pores and is naturally oxygenated to clean and prevent dirt from sitting in the pores. in has a warning for drying skin, but i've felt like i actually have skin and it feels nice. anytime there is drying, i use a gentle exfoliating cream to brush it off. it's not the easiest to find, but once you find it, you won't want to give it up.

ways to get rid of pimples\n1. Don't pick, press, rub, or otherwise manipulate your pimples. If you do, you risk spreading the bacteria and increasing the chances of scarring.\n\n2. Use an over-the-counter product containing benzoyl peroxide once or twice a day. It helps break up the plug of dead skin cells, bacteria, and oil that clogs the pore and forms an acne blemish. And it cuts down on the bacteria, too. Start with the lowest concentration, and work your way up.\n\n3. Try over-the-counter products containing sulfur or resorcinol, which help unplug oil glands by irritating the skin. However, most dermatologists believe that benzoyl peroxide is the most effective over-the-counter ingredient for acne.\n\n4. Don't just spot-treat acne; put the product on acne-prone areas, too. That can include your entire face (avoid the lips and eyes), back, and chest.\n\n5. Go easy on your face. Washing removes oils from the surface of the skin, not from within the plugged ducts. In fact, if you're too aggressive in your quest for cleanliness, you may end up drying out or irritating the sensitive skin on your face.\n\n6. Wash properly once or twice a day, using a mild soap, and rub lightly with your fingertips and warm water. If your skin is oily, use a soap with benzoyl peroxide for its drying properties.\n\n7. Don't use brushes, rough sponges, cleansers with granules or walnut hulls, or anything similar on the delicate facial skin. \n\n8. Don't use oily products, such as hair pomades, heavy oil-based facial moisturizers, or oily cleansers.\n\n9. Use water-based make-up.\n\n10. Don't get a facial. You may end up doing more harm than good.\n\n11. Don't rest your chin on your hands or constantly touch your face.\n\n12. Protect your skin from cancer and wrinkles without aggravating your acne by choosing an oil- free sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher.\n\n13. Don't worry about what you eat, unless you notice a correlation between a particular food and your skin breaking out.\n\n14. Watch out for iodine, which can be found in multiple vitamins and iodized salt. Some doctors believe iodine may encourage acne.

1. Wash your face thoroughly with a mild soap such as cetaphil.\n2. Rinse with warm water.\n3. Apply a benzoyl peroxide topical cream, such as Clearasil, BP or On -The-Spot, to affected areas only. Homeopathic alternatives include tea tree oil, baking soda paste (mix with a little water, apply and let dry), and witch hazel.\n4. After topical treatment is dry, apply a basic face moisturizer, unscented is best.\n5. Once a week, use a kaolin-clay-based mask and let dry to pull impurities from your skin.\n6. Rinse with warm water, then exfoliate with a scrub such as Swiss Valley Apricot Scrub or Neutrogena 60-Second Mask/Scrub.\n7. Be sure to moisturize well after your weekly treatment. \n\n* 2.5% to 5% Benzoyl-Peroxide Solutions are sufficient; 10% or higher can irritate the skin and exacerbate the problem.\n* Moisturizing is an important daily step, don't skip the moisturizer just because you think your skin is oily. Regular moisturizing will help keep your skin pimple free.\n* Pimple-fighting concealer can also be used for protection all day.\n* Don't use rubbing alcohol. It will sting like crazy and dry and irritate your skin\n* Taking vitamins regularly can also help your skin.\n* Avoid smoking or taking immuno-suppressants (such as steroids)\n* Some foods, like garlic and onions, are thought to improve skin conditions. \n\n* DON'T TOUCH: When you get a pimple, imagine that there is police tape around it. Your pimple is off limits to touch. The oils from your hands will make it harder for it to go away. Do NOT pop it. This will spread the bacteria (causing more pimples on other areas of your face) and may leave a scar (whether you use your fingernails or not). In general, don't touch your face unless you are actively washing it!\n* While you should always discuss any helth issues with your doctor, it's especially important to consult a dermatologist if your acne affects more than 30% of your skin, if breakouts increase after beginning treatment, or if you experience scarring.\n* When you start the treatment, your acne might appear to flare for a week or two, as your skin gets used to the new routine and impurities are drawn from your pores.

The most effective products I have used are a combination of salycylic acid medication (stridex wipes/pads) plus a benzoyl peroxide cream (Clearasil daily acne control cream). This has helped clear my acne symptoms. \nI had to see a dermatologist in the past, though, because sometimes acne can turn into an infection...w/ the redness and inflammation symptoms spreading to different areas of your face. He prescribed me a few things, one was an antibiotic to kill the infection that was causing the acne to spread. Just thought I'd add that in case you don't see an improvement from over-the-counter products. Good luck

to remove the black spots the best way is to use a face mask which consist of; yoghurt and pure some drops of lemon in it and leave the mask for about 15 min every day, but i have to say that the resalts will start to appear after 2 weeks or so, and about the rough skin try to but some oil on your face before going to sleep, and wash it up in the morning.

I had really bad skin when I was growing up. My face would be covered in blackheads and I have really big pores so I was always squeezing the heck out of my face and that was just making them worse because like you said they would all be back the next day. So my suggestion to you would be to steam your face every night before you go to bed to open up all of the pores and while your face is still warm you need to get a cucumber face mask and put it on your face for about 20 minutes. After you peel it off put Vaseline on your face and leave it on overnight. I don't know why but for some reason this keeps your pores clean. Hope that this helps you out\nCheers

I have the same problem as you, I'm using Clinique's Acne Solutions Body Treatment Spray. It's perfect coz it's a spray so you don't have to perform acrobatic moves to apply the treatment and it contains salicylic acid which is great for acne treatment. \n\nIf not, the cheaper solution would be to apply talcum powder often to keep your back dry. \n\nTry it! I'm on my way to a clearer back.

A laser works wonders for reducing facial scars and lines.  it's costly but worth it.\n\nObagi products worked on reducing my pores.  PCA products are also good.

Treatment of whiteheads and blackheads takes time. Most treatments take several weeks to months before a noticeable change is seen. \n\nBenzoyl peroxide has an antibacterial effect and may also decrease the chemical reaction that changes the lining of the hair follicle. This may help reduce the plugging that causes comedones. Benzoyl peroxide may be used for a mild case of comedones or to help prevent formation of others. \n\nTretinoin (Retin-A, Avita, Renova) is the mainstay of treatment for whiteheads and blackheads. Tretinoin is a derivative of vitamin A and works by increasing cell turnover and reducing the "stickiness" of the sloughed cells. It causes expulsion of the plugged material and converts closed comedones into open comedones. The material in these newly converted open comedones can be easily extruded. Tretinoin can be irritating, so specific instructions on how to use it can be found here. \n\nAntibiotics have not been shown to help whiteheads or blackheads. \n\nIsotretinoin (Accutane) is used for severe cystic acne and has many side effects. It is very effective for comedones when used properly, but is not usually prescribed for mild acne of either type. \n\nExtraction may be used by a health care provider on open comedones. This process is performed using a device called a comedone extractor. This is a small, metal, circular instrument that is centered on the comedone and pushes down the surrounding skin, causing the plug to extrude.

Proactive is the greatest invention I have ever come across. My brother had horrible acne and in a few weeks it cleared it up almost completely. He's tried all the commercial face washes, the poor decloggers, the oil removing wipes...everything. He tried 7 different typed of antibiotics. NOTHING worked. Eventually my mum thought "this can't hurt since nothing else has worked" and it worked wonders. Not the cheapest solution but definitely the best!

Clean your face every evening with a good facial scrub. I also find those peel off masks work great, and to help reduce clean your face with some alcahol, strips the oil and dirt from your face.

There are many things said about blackheads but studies show that you don't have them because of having a dirty face necessarily, they are however, clogged pores. If you steam your face, with hardly any pressure the little white bulb will come out and as long as you don't bruise your skin in the process there won't be a scar.\nTry acne.org

Alcohol and cotton balls\n\nRegular rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and use it to wipe down your face.  YOU WILL BE AMAZED at all the oil and yuk that it takes off.  You may need to do it a send time in the early after noon but that is nothing for a cheap quick non prescription fix.
