Naughty naughty,Having a fast metabolism doesn't justify eating greasy junk food
A healthier diet might be a good place to start. As for what products to use,I don't think many of us on here know a definitive answer! I'm still trying to figure out what works for me. Things like clearasil and clean and clear etc have never worked for me,I find they tend to dry my skin. I'm using the face wash by Molton Brown right now and I really like it. Clinique may be a good place to start for you.im not familiar with it, but im really afraid of benzoyl peroxide....studies show it might be linked to skin cancer!!!
sweetie im so glad you took my advice!! as far as the kit, i would go with the A1 kit....only because the kit for excessively oily skin has a cleanser with glycolic acid...which can irritate the skin if you start to vigorously....from personal experience the glycolic exfoliator is incredable in its own right! but you know your skin better than anyone else...
OMG you will ABSOLULETLY LOVE the green tea poultice..its
!!!! you put that on a pimple before bed and you wake up and like a miracle...its almost completely gone...let me know what you think of it!!!!!i think i need omega supplements as well, just because my sebum is SUPER thick and dry, hence all my whiteheads...its an ongoing battle, but i think you will be pleased..KEEP ME POSTED!!!
Yup, I use Clinique-DDMG, mild liquid facial soap and even that horrifying clarifying lotion.
Works for me!ACtually Ive got two glycolic acid creams from the brand mene& moy the first one is advanced c cream 30% acid glycolic and the other one phytic acid cream 8%
But unfortunately I cannot even use them cause my skin is reactin in the wrong way to almost everything
I was under antibiotics for 3 months (june to august)its like a mutant acne cause it resist the antibiotics so now they will give me the rolls royce lol Roaccutane

It also prolongs and worsens hyperpigmentation from acne. Benzoyl peroxide is just bad news...the best advice anyone can receive is to STAY AWAY FROM IT!
I've had big acne-problems for 3 years, and i'm pretty sure that is was a Nivea scrub who released it 
Before i started use it i had almost perfect skin. I've tried cleansers from Cliniderm, Biotherm and SebaMed, non of it have worked. 3 weeks ago i started to read some "beauty-blogs" and a lot of them mentioned Decleor. So i bought the green cleanser (for combi/oily skin) and i can already see a BIG difference. My skin is much smoother, it looks better and almost all of my acne is gone. I also use Biotherm Aquasource Non-Stop Gel Moisturiser.

Not to mention it bleaches absolutely everything it touches! I have so many ruined bras, tops and bedsheets from using Benzyl Peroxide creams in the past!

This has probably been asked before but does anyone have any fast ways to get rid of black heads? Without buying any of those devices that I don't even think work. Thanks

Oh, thank you. I try those sometimes but they don't really get rid of the majority. Maybe I should use them more often.
Okay guys, just adding some of my two sense in....
I used Proactiv when I had major acne, and someone mentioned that Benzoyl-Peroxide prolonged the hyper-pigmentation of acne scars, and I AGREE! I was thankful that my skin is clear of blemishes and pimples, but I had a new problem; acne scars. Thank goodness they were just hyper-pigmentation and not the scars that severed the collagen in the skin.
For those having problems with hyper-pigmentation from acne and don't have sensitive skin, I really recommend products that contain Kojic Acid.

I really wish I hadn't used BP now. It's ruined so many of my clothes, and now I've realised probably my skin too!
