Sorry this might be long.

I have hormonal acne so during that time of the month I break out. I shall get a few tiny white head pimples and then I will have one or two of those really painful badboys that has no head, goes read and hurts to touch.

Due to having mixed race skin, I don't even need to touch a pimple for it to leave pigmentation. Do you guys have any serums or home remedies that effectively treat this issue? Fyi, I have sensitive combo oily skin.

Also I have just ordered Cetaphill cleanser; is it good? Do you guys recommend any moisturisers for it?

I know this sounds weird but get a banana (better if raw) and cut a piece of the outside and rub it on the pimple. I know it sounds weird but it works!!

Tea tree oil on acne spots works good.

Lilibeth, I don't know how that would react with my skin as many fruits irritate me (make my lips swell and throat itch...I eat them anyway) haha thanks anyway it might be okay on my skin I'll test it on my hand first!

I have very sensitive skin as well and I use cetaphil gentle cleanser for my face (not the facial cleanser--too harsh). So I definitely recommend that. I also really like Mario Badescu's products (sold at Ulta). I use the oil-free moisturizer during the day and cetaphil PM moisturizer at night. Regarding your pigmentation I would use a cream with RetinA in it or maybe have your seem prescribe it to you.

The banana thing doesn't work. Applying it like that doesn't give you the nutrients; it's much better to actually eat the banana.

I would try gentle products that are made for the face.

For home remedies, please do not try anything like lemon or cinnamon! They are far too harsh

The cetaphil gentle cleanser doesn't clean good and it made me and a lot of friends break out...I feel like it's for people with dry skin.the facial one is a ton better and it's actually for the face
