    acne is best treated with calamine lotions-try lactocalamine....also make sure that you don't hav lots of oily stuff in your diet...it aclerates acne...wash your face thrice a day...ensure that you scrub your skin at least once in two weeks...it'll make you blackheads free!! if you want faster results..take a hot water steam on your face once in three weeks.....if you do it regularly...u'll surely get a flawless glow!!! hav fun!!!

    I honestly find the simple methods, the most effective. Get a decent face wash, one that works well with your skin. Figure out what skin type you have and go from there. Wash morning and night, without fail and always remove all traces of makeup if you wear any. Get a moisturiser for day, and a night cream. Moisturise your face morning and night after cleansing. Exfoliate once a week but be gentle. Face mask once a week to a fortnight. And to use directly on spots, antibacterial creams such as sudocrem, savlon or germaline work great on spots. A dab of perfume on them (as long as the spot is not open ie from picking *dont pick!*) on the spot will also help dry it up, make it smaller and reduce redness without drying the skin around it. Just dont use much. I personally find acne treatments are far too harsh on the skin. It may get rid of acne, but your skin gets so so dry, and sometimes acne treatments have left my spots even more inflamed. It must just depend on the skin type.

    I get black heads too! If you find something that works, let me know!! I've tried Pro-Active but I'm allergic to Benzoyl Peroxide. If you're not, something with that ingredient in it will def help.

    I've been using Vichy "normaderm". It's a little expensive but has def "evened" out my skin tone...If all else fails, a dermatologist can prescribe you something and a good facial will remove black heads as well..
