I used to have terrible acne, I still have some,but not as much. I touched my face everyday and I used makeup that irritated my skin. I switched to a more 'known' brand of makeup and my skin started to get better. I started using a buff pad in the shower to wash my face and the results were AMAZING! I love how my skin looks now!

I hate pimples and I'm tired of using good products to no sucess! :(

Sheila, Yeah I know. But sometimes they really get me down! :S

Hey Neila, If it's not a serios problem and you don't have so much of those pimples, try to contine with your products and give them some time to work out on you. Changing different products isn't the best solution especially cause you're still young. I sayif the problem increases go to your dermatologist and ask him what kind of products you need. He will surly guide you in the best direction love :)

sorry, oil on nose not the oily nose.

Hi!! I just got some new face wash. It's the nuetrogena face bar soap, and i also use the 8 hour face pads. i wash in the morning with just the pad, and at night with the bar soap and pad (because the soap dries the skin a bit). I just started using them about a week ago. I'm 15 years old and i don't have a huge problem with acne. but i do have very oily skin, and i just started breaking out with little dots all over my forehead. they don't look red or anything, they're just little bumps. i had them on my cheeks but these products cleared it up. but it has gotten worse on my forehead, should i try a different product?
