everytime i get a zit i always pick it, so i have a lot of scars on my face. i need an acne scar cream to help them go away, because i have had these scars for a really long time. i’ve never bought acne scar cream before, and i don’t want to waste my money on something that has no effect. what creams have worked best for you in this kind of situation? and how long did it take for you to see a noticible result?

I remember reading a long time ago that the Coolbeam laser prevents acne by permanently destroying the oil glands after 6 treatments. Is this true? If you tried it, how has it worked for you? Any better options?

I’m 19 years old, I’ve had acne since I was a sophmore in high school. By now most of my acne is gone due to an acne free diet. I stopped using chemical products a long time ago and stick to home remedies. But the scars are still there on my cheeks. Is there a way I can get rid of the scars, or that can fade them?

I’ve tried many creams and over the counter products, I’ve gotten prescription cream from dermatologists, and I even used Proactiv Solution before (which didn’t work for me).

So, I’m looking into getting laser-acne treatment, which I’m hoping would be my last resort.

I have a mild case of acne on my face, nothing severe though.

So before getting laser acne treatment, could someone tell me if its effective at all? Like does it completely rid of the acne
after the procedure is done? How does it work and how much does it cost?
And please, no answers suggesting I use creams or creams they you know of that work.
I have been following this type of treatment for a LONG time now, and I am definitely gonna try laser treatment.

Also, I’m using laser treatment for my entire face.

My mom keeps saying that its because I’m dirty and that I dont wash my fash good. I used a cleanser and srub everyday. I used to have acne long time ago too but then I started using proactive and it got better. My skin was really good and I thought I didnt have to use Proctive anymore. Like 2-3 days after I started seeing my acne. I didnt want use Proactive again cus I heard it can damage yur skin and it has a chemica in it that makes your skin addicted to it. So what should i do?

Hi I’m 16 yrs old and I have been struggling with body acne for about 2-3 years. It doesn’t show any sign of stopping!

I have spots on my lower back mostly, and some on my shoulder blades and some on my upper arms/shoulders. The worst thing is that they leave scars that take a long time to fade and I can’t wear tank tops or some pretty shirts or swim suits. I feel very ugly sometimes because of it. I have tried a 10% benzoyl peroxide bar soap and it helped a little, but it wasn’t any dramatic change. I don’t understand why people say everyone has some degree of body acne, when every other girl I see has beautiful, unblemished skin.

People think my face is pretty, but I am so afraid that they will find out I have body acne and decide that I am ugly. I want a normal body!!! Can you help me?? What do I do, this is my greatest insecurity! I WANT THIS GONE ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!
a dermatologist is not an option for me… anything else?
