Please help my skin :(

I have posted something along these lines before but didn't get any response so here goes again :)

I seem to have every single problem you can possibly have with my face. I have oily, acne scarred, pigmented, bumpy, blemished, horrible skin with enlarged pores and a lot of redness and I have tried just about everything to fix it. I have spent a ridiculous amount of money on everything from cheaper skincare to natural skincare and really expensive high end stuff.

I've found plenty of products that keep the oil at bay and ones that don't flare up my skin but I am yet to find something that will smooth and clear my skin. I have been eyeing off a few products lately but they're all very expensive so I would like your opinions! They are:

Philosophy The Microdelivey Peel
Dior Dreamskin
Lancôme Dreamtone
SK-11 Facial Treatment Essence
Peter Thomas Roth range

Or anything else you can suggest would be wonderful :)

I suggest you a green clay mask. It helps with almost everything you mention. It's a Purifying mask. But for me it's a fixer mask. I fix almost any problem with my skin, pimples, pores, scars, peeling skin etc. when I use it I feel like I do "reset" to my skin. It sucks up everything from your skin. You can find it on amazon it's aztec secret's Indian healing clay. It's like $7 something.

Also you need to drink lots and lots of water. You going to see a huge difference on your skin.

Do you have a clarisonic?? That has helped me.

I had acne problems and trying to attack it with products that dried my skin failed miserably. Te only thing that worked for me was the Clinique clarifying lotion number 3 together with the "dramatically different moisturizing GEL" not the lotion. IDk if you've already tried it along your product search. It made a huge difference. It's supposed to be a 3 step program but I skipped the soap (too pricy) and replaced with a fragrance free soap. I really hope you can work it out.

Also. Honey. If your skin is oily, something horrible might be happening. The bacteria that causes acne, literally feeds on the oil coming from your pores. Honey kills that bacteria. A honey and lemon juice mask (lemon for the spots) twice a week, should throw some results. Be patient.

Thanks guys. Lia I haven't tried a green clay mask yet, I will try to find one available in Australia, I do drink lots of water though :)

Sheree, yes I do own a clarisonic, while I love how it cleans my skin so much better, it hasn't done much for the texture of my skin or pore size. I do want to buy the pore brush for it but I've read a lot of bad reviews saying it's too abrasive.

Mariana, I have tried the clinique 3 step before, my skin is so oily I was using number 4 clarifying lotion. It worked amazingly for my oiliness but it did nothing else for me. I stopped using it because I could use cheaper products with the same result.

Try the honey, then. However I would advice you see a dermatologist since it has been bothering you for so long. Sometimes it's the best way to go.
