I have the exact same skin as you (oily and sensitive), but I am 15 years old; therefore, my skin is currently more acne-prone. I have acne around my hairline and my forehead (a bit on my nose too), and I just want to get rid of it because I want to start high school with clear skin. I do have a problem with picking…and can you explain the Clarisonic a bit more? It seems kinda costly for a teenager, and I hope it doesn’t irritate my skin with any scrubbing (idk how it works).
Thanks,
Jane

I have the exact same skin type as you with cystic acne on the cheek area as well & it’s so annoying. I love the Cetaphil cleansers and lotions and they work great. I also use the Proactiv Refining Mask for spot treatments at night and it works pretty good.
It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one out there with this skin type and you’ve given some excellent tips.
Thanks for the video! :)

@Blissterr I just bought the Clarisonic Mia. It is a smaller “travel size” version. I love love love it so far! I got mine at Sephora for $150.

@giltgold I know this is an old comment, but this is definitely true for anyone wondering. Twice as much money does not equal twice as much protection! The magic formula for protection is 3% avobenzone and 6% oxybenzone, most often found in SPF 30 =)

Made me smile from ear to ear to hear you say the SPF 30 thing! I think so many people on youtube don’t know anything about protecting their skin, major props Lo. It is that, in general, SPF higher than SPF 30 is much more expensive relative to the SPF 30, but it is not proportionately more protective (if that makes sense). So just because you shell out more cash doesn’t mean more protection =) It is important for people to know SPF 40 isn’t 100% better than SPF 20, it is more like 5% better.

Hey Lorraine, ive struggled with acne my whole life and recently saw your vid about cetaphil, so naturally i went to the store and got me self some and im going to start using that and crossing my fingers that it works…aaaalthough i was wondering if you had any tips or tricks for blackheads!!!???especially in the nose region.thanks:)

I have always just had cystic pimples and Cetaphil products are the only thing that cleared my skin completely and literally made it flawless. Thanks for this video, it reminded me to just stick with Cetaphil if I know it does truly work miracles! :)

Hi! My mom uses Cetaphil but I never payed attention to it. Thanks for recommeding it, Ive been trying to get rid of my acne since I was 12. Its really starting to clear up nicely now and its only been a week! No new acne, no tight dry skin, its great stuff! Instead of the exfoliator you have i bought a Oral-B Pulsar toothbrush with soft bristles. A cheaper option and its been great! Thanks so much! 5 stars ^_^

I have the same skin type as you, I will try Cetaphil now :]

does the soothing gel works the same as the maderma lotion? can someone please tell me if they know

compilatordude July 5, 2010 at 8:28 am

my acne scars on my face is now gone thanks to a good nights sleep and my skin feels soft and smooth but i still have small acne’s(red spots) near my nose area and my forehead…how do i fix that?!

duciaciao July 5, 2010 at 8:28 am

i like cetaphil but it has sodium laureth…and it foams so i heard it can be irritating in the long run. it also makes the skin dry.

fishbowlfan July 5, 2010 at 9:02 am

did the Mederma really fade acne scars? and how long did it take? and how long does it take for acne scars to go away??

macNdow July 5, 2010 at 9:06 am

my skin is exactly like yours, luckily for us oily-skined people, we are gonna get wrinkes much later that the pimple-free dry-skinned people cuz our skin has more elastisity =]

FASHIONISTADARLING July 5, 2010 at 9:43 am

It sounds like I have the exact same type of skin as you. I don’t get black heads or white heads really, but I get big cystic acne on my cheeks and now I have dark marks from scarring. I am going to try the maderma cream and see if it works

starrsvm July 5, 2010 at 9:54 am

thank you so very much for this…this is the best, most detailed, thought out skin care video EVER!!!!! Now i’m off to purchase some of these products, i will definitely update you if I see improvement…5 *s

After about 30 it does the same job as the lower numbers I do believe..

vanillaxox21 July 5, 2010 at 11:10 am

I have the same type of skin as you! And btw, you seem so nice.

AMYISRAD July 5, 2010 at 11:22 am

Any sunscreen after 30 doesn’t work? How so?

mandymorris1 July 5, 2010 at 11:24 am
