I've had acne for a couple years now. I've tried Cetaphil, Clean and Clear, and Clearasil (all start with C LOL. I should try products that don't start with C's) and so far none have worked. Every time I get out of the shower, I put moisturizer on because I feel my face dry. I try to put as little as I can and I end up getting a greasy face after. It really pisses me off. Then I end up breaking out

TooManyPBJs

Those brands are all very harsh cleansers and will strip your skin of all it's good oils. My skin used to be exactly like that; it craved moisture. Try doing a moisture mask 1 or 2 times a week..there are some great recipes online. A greasy face might mean that the moisturizer isn't the right one for you ;P If you do like the moisturizer, you can always dust a little powder on top. Mineral makeup aids in helping acne, like zinc and titanium dioxide!

My acne isn't as bad as it used to, but I still get a bunch of bumps on my chin. If I could change one thing about my face, I'd make then go away!

Little red bumps may mean your skin is irritated by a product you're using or something in it is clogging your pores. Make sure to bring your cleanser all the way down to your jaw line to make sure everything is getting clean.

ive had acne since i was 13 and now that im 15, its getting worse and worse. ive tried like tons of products and nothing seems to work. and my skin is left with scaring due to acne and it takes forever to fade.

MissEllesBeauty

You're in the prime time of puberty right now, my friend! Unfortunately, that's one of the worst times : / Try a non-lathering cleanser and products that aren't harsh on your skin that could cause your acne to flare up. I also believe food has an impact as well : /

I wish that I could change the acne acting on my face, it's not deep scaring but it's discoloration that just will not go away! Great video by the way, I subscribed.

Gh4LVr

I have discoloration too :( Try exfoliating to remove the skin and lemon to lightly bleach the discoloration.

I get so annoyed with the greasy feel when I touch my face in the morning and just the usual little red bumps.

SuperCraftoholic

You can always fix the greasy feel by washing your face in the morning :P Little red bumps may mean your skin is irritated by a product you're using or something in it is clogging your pores. Message me if you wanna talk more!

ive had it ever since i was 13, im 16 now and my skin is worse then ever. i think i tried everything almost, i spent too much money and time and nothing helps. it took away my confidence and im desperate for anything that might make a difference!

ArielleBabySparks

I would suggest trying some natural products then, if you've tried a lot of chemical products that haven't helped. There are a lot of good oils for acne, like tea tree and lavender.

I hate that I have acne and when I try to use cleansers to get rid of it it irritates my dry skin. it seems like no matter what I do it is not enough. I am beginning to wonder if maybe I have normal to dry skin too! I would love to try this cleanser to see if it works for me.

F8hasu

Definitely try a moisturizing cleanser..it sounds like your skin is craving moisture!
ive had acne since i was 14, so i still have scaring and im 23 and would like to beable to finally have ance free skin and not have to worry so much about my skin.

MIneral makeup can really help with acne because it heals and covers the acne/scarring at the same time!
If I could change anything about my skin it would be to make it less oily and that I could have clear skin for more than a day or two at a time!

Drink lots of water and try a non-lathering cleanser!
What I would LOVE to CHANGE about my skin is how super duper oiley it gets,, it so annoying at school when I always go to the BR and have to blot my face wiith oil absorbers. Its even worse in the summer!! Also my skin is filling with many annoying blemishes and I want to be a actress and just performing is stressful sometimes,, which makes the ance worse well haha soo having lil tomatoes on my face isnt the best asset for an audtion!! :/

Try a non-lathering cleanser! I use the Oil Control Powder by SobeBotanicals on etsy and I LOVE it, it really controls oil and shine and still leaves your face with a nice glow.
What I would like to change about my skin is the random acne. I have a combination of oily and dry skin and I don't know how to treat it. My face also itches and I wished that I didn't have an itchy face from dry and oily skin because I don't like touching my face when it's really dirty. I also have blemishes and my face feels half rough and half soft which I am not too fond of. :( I can't find anything to treat it with.

jovimac91urs ago

The itch might be from a reaction to a product your using? Try a mild exfoliant like sugar or oats on the dry parts and moisturize them! You can definitely treat different parts of your face different; I do! Different product for my forehead than my cheeks. Kinda interesting, but it works!
I get a lot of pimples and have a few scars. I also have oily skin. I wish i could change those things about my skin.

allthisawesomeness 16 hours ago

Try a non-lathering cleanser so it doesn't dry out your skin and make it product more oil!
i dont get acne a lot, i have really dry skin. i mean reeeeealy dry, sometimes my skin starts peeling just because its dry and not from a sunburn or anything. the cleanser i have works fine for cleaning but a lot of the time it dries my skin out even more than normal. i always have to carry a moisturizer to make sure my skin is constantly moisturized. i think a moisturizing cleanser like this would really help.

anilefisclever 17 hours ago

Oh jeez! That sounds really dry! Cream cleanser all the way, mild exfoliating, DEEP moisture treatment at night like shea butter! What moisturizer are you currently using? It doesn't sound like it's doing its job ;P
i owuld like to change the scars and pimples {i also have on my forhead} i would just love to try something better i also have karaloses pielaros {spelled rong} lol and i think it might help :) great vid

TheMisteryvampire ours ago

I used to get a ton of pimples on my forehead! You can get them there from over-drying your skin out.
What I wish I could change about my skin is all the acne scarring I have left over.. I don't like it. :/

weberockinyo 18 hours ago

Lemon juice can help lighten up the redness and scaring!
What I don't like about my skin is acne scars. But I know they'll go away with time.

happymimi16 20 hours ago

Very true! :)
Hey Brianna! Love your videos. It sounds like my skin might be similar to what you were saying. I have mild acne problems and I have shine in my T-zone but sometimes I get dry patches on my cheeks so I might actually have dry skin myself. I wish I could change the texture of my skin. I have some acne and I have bumps, redness, acne scarring, and uneveness as well. I'd love to give this cleanser a try to see if it helps like it did for you. Keep up the great vids & thanks for the giveaway!

Scentmyway 20 hours ago

It does sound very similar to my skin type! A little bit of everything, haha. For the dry patches, try a mild exfoliant!
I wish I could completely get rid of all my acne. Sometimes I get most of it to go away, but then it comes back again and makes me really angry.

6emma6 22 hours ago

I feel like once you have acne, you have acne, and it's hard to make it go away completely :(
I would love to reduced the size of my pores especially right by my nose

nesbittda2 1 day ago

Try cucumber and tomato to reduce pore size!
I wish my skin wasn't so dry and sensitive. I think a cream cleanser would be really interesting to try.
anahoj5 1 day ago

For sensitive skin I definitely recommend a cream cleanser and exfoliating to remove dead skin cells!
What would I like to change? Well, my skin is super dry, so I have been juggling around with different products and I haven't found one yet that not only fixes that but also my acne :/. So, that's why I have been watching you videos a lot and seeing all of your natural products :)
Britanybanana1 1 day ago
What specific products have you tried? I can probably make some recommendations!

Message me on youtube! Definitely change to a non-lathering cleanser and for a toner,

if you don't use one already, use one that is moisturizing but also antibacterial. I use rose

water for that and I love it. It's moisturizing, naturally antibacterial, AND it gives your face the best glow.
What would I change about my skin? ACNE! I would love to reduce my dependency on full coverage foundations. Any foundation that covers my acne also covers my freckles. I love my freckles and would love to use a tinted moisturizers or just a bit of powder, but my acne prevents me from feeling comfortable in my own skin without the use of full coverage foundation. I have tried tons of products, but nothing works. I would defiantly change my acne.

Bree3382 1 day ago

Wouldn't we all? :P I depend on foundation for my hyperpigmentation and like you,

I don't like it! I'm so sorry you have to cover your freckles! Have you thought about trying

a heavier concealer to spot-cover the acne and use a lighter powder over your freckles so they don't get hidden?
Thank you for the review; I love your videos!! The one thing that irritates me the most is my cystic acne.. it is the most annoying part about my skin. For the most part, I have fairly good skin however, there are a few places on my chin that my cystic acne tends to gravitate to. I wish I could get them to go away faster, they can really hurt sometimes! P.s. I love the Olay cleansing brush. I didn't want to spend 200.00 on a clarisonic (for obvious reasons!) and I haven't regretted my choice!

stephhopelupus 1 day ago

I know the feeling, I get cystic acne on my jar line and boy they kill! Since they're so

deep they're hard to get to go away. I've been using honey as a spot treatment even

on my cystic acne and I've noticed they get smaller with it! Usually there is a a deeper

problem if you have more cystic acne then regular acne :(
Thanks for the review! :)

The one thing I hate most about my skin is that it used to be REALLY clear - pimple free and hardly oily. Spring of last year, my skin went crazy and I had SO much acne. ever since then I haven't had clear skin at all. And when some pimples go away they leave scars. So now I'm stuck with semi-rough skin and lots of acne scars :/

GothicLenne 1 day ago

-Can I ask how old you are? It could be from stress/how you eat as well, although

sometimes I don't really believe acne comes from that. Try a mild exfoliant or MILD

chemicals peel to help reduce the acne scars. Feel free to message me if you'd like

to talk further/get some product recommendations!
I hate blackheads. Even though my skin is pretty dry, I can see lots of blackheads around my nose especially in summer.

peachyblueberries 1 day ago

There are quite a few natural methods I've seen to help remove blackheads. I haven't

tried any, but here's a link I found::

Besides having oily skin, I have a lot of bumps on my chin/jaw line. Sometimes they turn into pimples but I'm not sure what to do to get rid of them.

ac8336 1 day ago

They sound to be clogged pores that aren't necessarily pimples yet. It could be a

reaction to a product that you're using?
I hate how my skin is sooo oily, and my red cheeks with , what i think are, huge pores =(

JMRR7209 1 day ago

Definitely a non-lathering cleanser would be worth a try to reduce the overproduction

of some of that oil! Are you cheeks red from acne scarring or possibly dryness?

Washing your face with hot water strips moisture and makes your face quite red.

Try washing your face with luke-warm water instead of hot, especially in the morning.

I actually do like my skin :) but I guess I would like to change the fact that I get burned easily and never get tan

livelaughlove1681 1 day ago

haha that's awesome! Do you wear SPF? I know there are a few natural self-tanning products

that tint your skin. I haven't tried any (I prefer to be ghostly white), but I know there are some out there!
Once a month I get a huge period pimple and it leaves a very nasty scar after it finally goes away.

eyeshadow225 1 day ago

Sounds like what happens to me after ever single pimple :( Try a mild exfoliant after

the pimple heals to lighten the skin where the pimple was. You could also try lemon juice!

I'm not as familiar with scars as I am with hyperpigmentation :P
my skin is pretty dry and also burns and freckles easily

stankykittenlove 1 day ago

Do you wear SPF on a daily basis? Definitely my first tip! And exfoliating to remove dry skin.
I have an issue with a little bit of redness.

TrueBrytt o

Try washing your face with luke-warm water instead of hot, especially in the morning.

Hot water makes your face red! Could the redness be from a reaction to a product

you're currently using?
My two biggest complaints are my red acne scars and my oil slick of a face. (Any tips?) I do get breakouts but they aren't as bad a couple months ago. Really would like to try this cleanser! [:

meggg09ify y ago

Definitely try to find a non-lathering cleanser, since lathering cleansers strip from your

face and your skin compensates by producing more oil. I always used to think my face

was oily, but it was just a tad shiny and actually craved moisture! I also use the Oil

Control Powder by SobeBotanicals on etsy..I've been using it for a year and I love it.

It's a super thin transparent dust that makes your skin matte but doesn't get rid of

your natural glow!
i would love for the oily shine i get at times and i have really big pores i cant seem to get rid of...

sadeyez0813 day ago

-I know egg and a few drops of lemon in a mask are known to shrink pores, try finding

a recipe for that!
I hate my dry skin! so I would definitely like to change that along with pimples I always get around my nose/chin/forehead.

infinityxmln o

-Try using a mild exfoliant to remove some of the dry skin! Also, use a heavier

moisturizer at night like shea butter to refresh your face and add moisture! The

nose and chin especially are the hardest areas to clean, which may be why you

have some breakouts there. Spend some extra time cleansing there! :P
i wish i could change all the little bumps on my nose, and black heads because they seem to never go away no matter what i do. also i wish i could get rid of my scars on my face, two little red ones. i hate them. this sounds like a good cleanser i def. would purchase this!

xoxoitsme92 1 day ago

-Little bumps definitely sound like clogged pores or hair follicles. I know there's a

natural ways to help clear blackheads. I haven't personally tried any, but here is a

link for some ideas!

http://www.natural-homeremedies.com/homeremedies_blackheads.htm

For the red scares, I recommend finding a natural concealer. The zinc/titanium will

help heal and a lot of natural concealers have some really nice oils in them.
i would change that it wont be suuuuuuuuuuppper oily and that my acne and pimples r so little but their is so many all over my face

hightyrthrth 1 day ago

-Definitely try a cleanser that doesn't lather, because one that lathers will strip your

skin and make your face more oily! For the little pimples, that could be a reaction to

something you're using that is irritating your skin. Feel free to message me on youtube,

I'd love to talk about what you're using for skincare!
my sunspots! The reason I'm going to make my kids wear sunscreen every single day.

Starlightserenity 1 day ago

Such a good idea! My mom has sun spots and has tried so many things to help them fade.

Even now she doesn't even wear that high of face sunscreen all the time :(
I have been dying to try this cleanser but it's just so expensive. My skin isn't horrible but it has its rough patches like during the school year. I also have hyper pigmentation from past breakouts and rough and uneven skin tone. I just want to find something natural that works. It would be great just to try it out without having to spend so much just to see if it works.

bbwhour 1 day ago

-I know, it is pretty expensive :( I don't mind paying because it works so well! To fix the

rough/dry patches, try a mild exfoliant like sugar or oats! I know there is a lemon mask

that people like to aid in fading hyperpigmentation!

i get cystic acne around my chin. i used to have really bad acne everywhere, but i started using mario badescu and that cleared it up pretty well, except for those stubborn ones! i credit my good skin to the toner, moisturizer and drying lotion, but im not sure about the cleanser, so i'd be really interested in trying out others..like this one! :)
KaiTheKiwi 1 day ago

-Cystic acne is really difficult to deal with. I get it around my temples and some of them

last for weeks on end. I'm interested in drying the MB drying lotion! For the past week

I've been using organic honey as a spot treatment and I really like it!
