Eh. I figure this question has been asked NUMEROUS times before...but I'll give it a try.
I have a (not-SO-serious) acne problem on my forehead, back and chest (a little tiny bit there). And okay....I used just about every acne medication on the MARKET to treat my forehead. (I'm not that worried about my back, since no one ever sees it anyways). Well yeah, my forehead. I used proactiv, acne-free, clearisil, clean and free (?? I think ???) Neutrogena, and COUNTLESS other brands. My forehead has like hundreds of spots of acne. They aren't bumps, they aren't like the red swollen ones...they're more like scar marks (pretty flat). I have NO idea how to get rid of them. Nothing works. I was forced to grow bangs out to cover up my embarassing forehead. Washing my forehead with soap doesn't work either, since it dries it out too much. I'm forced to do the horrible act of putting make-up on!!!!!!! It's AWFUL. Does ANYONE...ANYOOONEEE ;_____; have ANY advice....I don't care whatever it is. I'm willing to take ANY measure....since I'm so freaking desperate to get my skin cleared up ;_;
Thanks in advance! =] (link)

dermatologist= a no-no.
been there, done that.
they gave me differin. it took about 6 months to start working and only lasted for a few months when it actually DID start to work. plus it dried out my face ALOT and i had to use all these cheap moisturizers that made me break out even more.
so anyways..
theres a company called dhc
i think its pretty amazing
you dont sound like you have a real skin issue like.. dry or oil, but dhc has products for EVERYthing. some things are pricy, some are not. make sure you cleanse, tone, and moisturize!
i havent bought a dhc cleanser yet because i am pretty happy with this Biore pore minimizing face wash i have. but i use a dhc toner, and moisturizer.
i do the same cleanse, tone, moisturize routine morning and night. but at night, i use Equate Acne Treatment cream. its only like 2 or 3 bucks at walmart. i put it on after my moisturizer
but like i said before, dhc has moisturizers for dry, normal, or oily skin. and same for their cleansers. they have really mild ones, ones that leave your skin hydrated, EVERYthing. it may actually be hard to choose just ONE thing that you want to try. when you order something, you can ask for 4 samples though of anything else! =]
they have a website also,
www.dhccare.com
the magazines you get from them are real good too =]
