Fruit face mask

Vitamin C will only help fill in scars that are still healing. Indented scars continue to heal over a period of 6 months. If you're working with older scars, topical application will do nothing for th...

Help, please!

See a dermatologist. You'd be a good candidate for accutane, especially if this is all over your body. I get cystic acne on occasion and suffer from clogged pores and hormonal acne. I do NOT use jojo...

I hate my skin

Your oily skin is most likely a result of fluctuating hormones. You're going through puberty so you're going to see an uptick in greasy skin. A good thing to carry in your bag is a pack of oil blottin...

Spots with a hole in the middle??

Blackheads. You have sebum plugs inside those. I would go to an esthetician for an extraction. You don't want to do this yourself if you've never handled it before because you could wind up way worse ...

Pimple inflammation won't go away ! Help!

Sounds like a cyst. Stop messing with it because if you keep picking at it you're going to be left with a crater in your face. It's not squeezable. The best thing to flatten these things out is a draw...

I NEVER GOT THIS ACNE IN MY LIFE (WITH PIC)

I don't think this is acne. Go to a dermatologist so they can see with this is. Could be some sort of rash, or staph infection in your hair follicles.

CYSTIC ACNE BECOMING BLACK

It looks like you might have a cystic acne depression that filled up with blood, and your skin healed over it. I would see a derm for them to lance it, and drain it. Look up: blood blister.

Not severe at all. Looks like you have some PIH scarring which can be wiped right out with Vitamin E oil (I buy my oil from Trader Joe's, $4.99) As far as active acne, I see nothing. No cysts, no whit...

Epiduo experience

I would NOT use more. I use one pump for my entire face and that is more than enough. Also, this is retinol along with BP. Use it on your entire face, not just your forehead. This helps with sunspots,...
