So I have really bad acne and even when I'm not breaking out I still have marks and bumps left on my face. I've tried many different things but I also have super sensitive skin and if I us very acidic things it really burns and makes my skin super irritated any suggestion cause I just want this gone!

Go to the dermatologist so that they can write you a prescription. I got prescribed clindamycin which is a topical antibiotic to help clear up my face as well as retin-a to clear acne scars and maintain my skin. It has improved my skin a lot

Also a chemical peel could really help.

I agree w sandy try a derm ask for an medication called solodyn. I know you said your skin is sensitive but retin-a would help.there is one called epidou it has benzoyl peroxcide in it and is more gentle then some of the others. you can also try an kind of topical that has bha in it. it will help with the acne and the marks

The only thing that really worked for me was accutane. I was on 30mg for about 6 months and helped tremendously. It helped with my scaring to but only draw back was that it made my skin so much worst before it got better. Then end results was worth it to me.

Try the Mario badescu line they have great products for sensitive skin too go on the website n take the skin survey to see what products they recommend for you and they will even send you free samples! I have psoriasis on my face and their healing/soothing mask is the best thing for it and also helps with acne as well.

Ok thanks lovely ladies :)

I would suggest trying to narrow down what's causing your acne in the first place. when I was younger it was hormones.. now if I get any breakouts it's because of bacteria (which I kill with a skin support serum and tea tree nut scrub), or stress. If you can narrow down what's causing it (and it's usually two or more things), you can start building your routine around a solution. of course natural products help, but some times it takes some internal work too (diet, or balancing hormones).

An all natural Dead Sea Mud bar, no SLS just pure mud packed with healing minerals! Looove love love it! you can find it here if you were interested in checking it out www.seacretdirect.com/4you.

You could have what is called 'reactive' skin. Avoid fragrances and anything with lavender, or alcohol in it.
