I've been having acne and comedone problems on my face for nearly three years and I'm never free from this trouble. Now there are some acne marks and many new pimples on my face. I hate it! I could have looked better, at 26 years old.
I hate to see people wearing a terrified face when they see me, so now I don't dare to meet people without making ups, and I prefer staying home so as to avoid making up, and avoid hurting my skin.
My mother asks me to take medicine, but I think it's because of the long-term cleaning problem... I don't know... Dear mylotters, how can I do with my acne marks and pimples and comedones??

There are really pimple prone skin unless you go to a dermatologist. You may use natural remedies instead of buying cosmetic products. Lemons work for me and I use Virgin Coconut Oil as moisturizer before sleeping. Try changing your diet, too. Avoid fried food, junk foods... Eat healthy and drink lots of water.

Yes my skin is the pimple prone type. What is "natural remedies"? Does it mean I can stop using cosmetics, eat healthy, get enough sleep and that's all? OR does it mean I should use some free-plus cosmetics like Virgin coconut oil, aloe gel, Avene and some others?

Yes, natural remedies like lemons, aloe vera, virgin coconut oil or olive oil. You will not see the effect overnight because it will take awhile before you see the results. But you'll definitely see good results. My sister's skin is pimple prone and instead of buying cosmetic products, she switched to natural remedies and her skin looks radiant now. I don't know if this will work for you. But I don't think that there will be harm in trying since these are natural.

Greenthumb, I believe is very correct here! Emphasis should be put on the fact that the product you are applying is sterile! Use the product with sterile wipes or dab on with Q-tips, or spritz on with a sprayer!
Recently, on Consumer Research, I read an article about the horrendous amount of contaminants in Over the counter Beauty/Skin products..it is phenomenal! And many of them, were feared that they were breeding grounds for skin eruptions!

When I was younger, I had some problems with acne on my face and I do have to admit that it was something that was quite embarrassing to myself at times. Then someone told me that it would help to clear my face up if I was to quit using soaps on my face. From that point on, I've only used water to wash my face and it didn't take all that long at all for my face to clear up and it has remained that way ever since I quit using soap on my face.
