if you want a coverup, try a neutrogena product. their cosmetics wont clog your pores or create more acne. set up an appointment with a dermatologist. they may prescribe you with some acne medication. stuff that you can get without a prescription may not be working. be really gentle with your skin. dont scrub. this can create more acne. you can pop or spread your acne this way. also, if you use more than the prescribed or recommended amount this can create more problems. some people think that this will cure the problem faster, but it takes time to heal. the meds from the dermatologist can take weeks for results to show, but do it ritually and your face will eventually have perfectly clear skin! hope this helps! ♥ arlyn

use less, you get acne by the dead skin cells going into your pores...and if your doing all that you're drying out your skin to much and its causing more acne

I use Clean and Celar Advantage Spot Treatment. It truly works wonders, and I love it =]. As long as the cleanser you're using doesnt irritate your skin, keep using it the way you are.

Since you're on acne medication, I'm assuming you have a dermatologist? If not, ask your regular doctor (next time you go, no need to rush out now) if something like Differin or Retin-A Micro would work for your type of acne. I started using them last year, and I went from typical "pizza face" to a normal teenager with a few zits now and then; it was a wonderful improvement. It's worth a shot, and also isn't that expensive (especially if you have insurance already; it covers alot of the cost)

For make-up, I use foundation. I use a combination of Maybelline Pure makeup and Dream Matte Mousse (the Mousse I use more as a concealer; it's less cakey than concealer). And as long as you don't get oil-based makeup (it'll be labeled "non comedegonic" or however it's spelled =] and also may say "oil free") it won't clog your pores, so long as you wash it off at night. But don't overdo either, because you'll end up making it look worse.

sorry I went kinda overboard here, but I know alot about this stuff 'cause I went through the same thing last year =D

best of luck, and I hope I helped!

if you can get some kind of sea salt spray it basically gets rid of pimples over night. Im not so sure if this would work for you but you could always try. It wouldnt hurt.

hope i helped..

Just continue what your doing. Coverup will make it worse.Yes, it will cover it up, but it creates more zits. Try getting oatmeal soap and scrubbing your face with a scrub with the soap on it. Hope I helped!
