What is the best over the counter skin care product? Specifically for pimples, breakouts and redness.?

I hate my skin. I always have pimples! Mostly they are around my eyebrows and my chin... that is where they are worse. I always have redness. I try not to pick them, but sometimes I just can't take it anymore. They are gross and no matter what I use I cannot get rid of them. So it comes down to two things: 1. I am not using the right products and 2. I need to be educated on skin care. Right now I am using just a basic face wash - Biore Pore Minimizing Foaming Face Wash in the morning in the shower. And when I get out of the shower I use a toner/astringent - Biore Triple Action Astringent then I will sometimes use a moisterizer - Biore Skin Balancing Moisturizer. At night I admit I all too often forget or just not wash my face, but when I do I use - Biore Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser. As you can tell right now I am only using one line of products. I have used several though, but never just one brand. sometimes I use masks, and facial cloths too. I need HELP! I want to be pretty!

To help educate yourself about skincare, you have to try out different brands of skincare and see what works best for you. Also don't use the same product for too long. When you've run out of something i.e your face wash try something else instead, that way you get to experience different products and there effects. The problem you have, is that you've been using the same products for too long and now you can't see there effects on your skin anymore, as your skin has become desensitised against them. You need to keep your skin constantly on the beat by surprising it with new products that work differently to your old ones.


From the sounds of your skin you have a oily/combination skin type so you need to buy moisturisers/creams that help combat this. You obviously have excess oil production occuring around your forehead and chin. To help this keep your pores clean and go for skincare with salicylic acid (the best pore unblocker). Salicylic acid is great for exfoliation so dermatologists use it to clear clogged pores and acne.

Reply:Hi. You could try the Clinique Anti-Blemish solution range. There's a cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and my personal favourite a Blemish gel, just apply a drop of it to the pimple and it will soon disappear. It is slightly pricey but it really works and as you use so little of the gel everytime, it really lasts. Hope I helped and don't worry I'm sure you're pretty.
