so ive tried pretty much every kind of acne wash possible. it seems to work for a couple of weeks, if that, and then i start getting pimples again. and lately, i have begun scarring. so now i have scars AND pimples all the time. does any one know what i can use that will 100% work and keep zits away? and also how do i get rid of scars? thanks so so much!!!
You need to find a face wash that is PH balanced, that way it will not take the natural oils out of your skin, when the natural oils have been taken out, your skin will naturally want to produce more oil.... you don't want that...
There are some acne moisturisers out there, they keep your skin moisturised while cleansing your skin, it doesn't block your pours and it helps keep the oil balance stable.
Home Remedy: I tried this a few months ago, my skin was HORRIBLE. It sounds funny but it works. Try getting PURE natural honey, no added sugars blah blah blah. Get some aspirin (about 6 tablets). crush all the aspirin and blend it with the honey until it makes a nice paste. Spread it on your skin (wear old clothes cause it can get a little sticky and run a tiny bit). Wait about half an hour and then GENTLY start washing it off with warm water. The aspirin granules will act as an exfoliant as well. This works because Honey helps fight acne causing bacteria, and aspirin helps swelling, you'll notice your skin looks calmer.

Also for face wash try this product called: St. Ives Apricot Scrub. One of my friends recommended it for me and it's a really good face wash.
