For years now, I’ve struggled with randomated dry patches, bumpy areas and uneven skin-tone scattered about my acne-prone skin.

Now, I’m trying to do something about it, but I need some advice.

My acne comes and goes ((it all depends on my stess-levels and what I’m wearing on my face)), but I’d like to know if there’s a pill or something else that can cure it from the inside.

Scrubs and washes with Salicylic Acid tend to overdry my face, and make it feel tight and look ashy. Even three step programs like ProActive have had this effect.

Any tips?

Also too, for the rough/dark/bumpy/liney patches and areas, I’ve heard Microdermabrasion is ideal. However, you can only get this done with the help of a plastic surgeon.

But! There are many scrub sets and the like around these days that promise the same results, within a few days ((even Mary Kay offers one)). Are these trustworthy, or should I just get the Microdermabrasion done?

Thanks!

Well i have had acne ever since i think third grade. I have used many products and they dont work. I really want to go to a doctor but my parents say no. My skin is always greasy but very dry around my nose. I get new pimples daily. I have blackheads on my nose. And I have acne scars also. What do you recommend? I really need help!!

My mother insists that I try to mitigate (lessen) the normal my 13 year old teenage son is experiencing. Of course I’m afraid if I do that girls might start noticing him?! …still in all fairness if there is a solution that will help I should let him know.

I need help! I have extremely oily skin on my t-zone but dry skin on my cheeks! Fellow combo skinners,please help a sister out!
