ive gotten allergic reactions to proactiv solution and clearsel i need something to completely clear my face of blemishes and blackheads but also for really sensitive skin...Help!!!!!What products should i use to clear blemishes and blackheads? and i have really sensitive skin..?
Here, try using these great home remedies.
Using Lemon is the best thing to reduce the marks and blemishes on the skin. It can be applied directly on the skin.
You can also rub a lemon peel on the skin with a little sugar on it or without the sugar. After rubbing it leave it on the skin for at least 10 minutes. If you practice this regularly you can reduce the scars/marks finely.
Grate potatoes, wrap them in a cloth and take out the juice. Mix few drops of lemon juice and honey to it and apply it on your face. If you don't want to apply it all over the face then apply only on the marks. Wash off after 20 minutes. (Potato has bleaching agents, which reduces the blemishes.)
Make a mixture of tomato juice and lemon juice. You can fill it in a bottle and keep it in the refrigerator. You can apply this mixture on your face daily with a cotton ball.
Honey added in milk powder helps in reducing the blemishes.
If you have real dark blemishes on the skin make a powder of dry lemon peels and orange peels.
Drinking lots of water to keep the skin hydrate and detoxified.
Good Luck

This is what I suggest:
Mix baking soda and witch hazel/or water together until it comes to a good consistancy, and then spread on your face and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. These two things are very inexpensive and it's very easy to do since there is only two ingredients.
Toothpaste is good for drying out your pimple (for some people). Put only a little bit before you go to sleep. But this is not recommended to everyone because it can make it worse.
Try to buy a cleanser that works for you, and when you wash your face, open your pores with hot water (not too hot, or it will dry out your skin) and massage it gently into your skin. Then, use cold water at the end to close you pores. The smaller your pores are, the less likely you're prone to pimples. Don't use body soaps because they dry out your skin. Don't scrub too hard when you wash your face, because it can irritate your skin.
Zinc (type of vitamin) is the one of the best things you can use to get rid of pimples. You can buy these almost about any large store (such as Wal-Mart or Shaws.) Have one or two tablet per day and try to cut down the junk food and replace it with vegetables and fruits. Drink lots of water and don't pop you acne. Popping acne can lead to acne scars. Zinc can be found in many types of fishes.
If you have sensitive skin, don't use make up. Some of the things in make up can clog your pores and cause pimples. Keep your hands out of your face as much as you can because you hands are full of bacteria and oils. Keep your hair out of your face because the oils in your hair could go into your pores. Change you sheets because they're are trapped with dirt, oils, etc.
An egg yoke can be used to make you pores smaller. I used this when I had pimples. Just take the egg yolk (the yellow part) and leave it on your face for 10-15 minutes and rinse off with warm water and then splash your face with cold water. Aloe vera helps acne scars lighten and less noticeable (lemon, cocoa butter, witch hazel, and tea tree oil do the same thing). Use the gel (of the aloe plant) or the real thing.
The main reasons for breakouts is actually hormones. So if you're a teen, it's more about trying to contain the damage. Be careful when using over the counter stuff, because a lot of it is aimed at 'drying' the zits out. Try using an acne product that you only apply to the actual zit.
Something you should be doing twice a day is exfoliating. St. Ives has a 'Microdermabrasion' product that does a FANTASTIC job of this, and a tube is only a few bucks. And be sure to moisturize as well.
Being on some birth control pills can do wonderful things for your skin. I'm not sure how old you are, but it's something to consider if you are old enough to get them without a huge fuss. ';But Mom! It's so I'll have better skin!'; Probably will just get you in trouble if you're 13 or 14. *grin*
Look at the ingredients on Proactive and Clearasil to see what you might be allergic to. That should help you to find another product that you might not react to.
Neutrogena has a great line of products.
Aveeno has a good line of products from what I can tell. My skin is prone to break outs. I've used both of these lines.
Cetaphil is a good one.
Prescriptives - expensive but worth it in my view, the moisturizer anyway (anti-age), makes my skin look great
The best way to loosen them is to keep your skin clean and steam your face.Steaming loosens their hold on the skin and then apply a scrubber on the skin followed by a face pack to close the pores.
You can also apply undiluted lemon juice on the blackheads twice a day.

The best thing for sensitive skin is nivea young stuff, promise you because I've tried everything and my skin is sooooooooooo sensitive-think you're my soul sister! xxx
Anything by Neutrogena their stuff is very gentle. Or Vichy it is expensive but again it is gentle.
go to a dermatologist if you can. the stuff they can give you is definitely way better than over the counter stuff.
Clean %26amp; Clear Blackhead Scrub works GREAT for me and I have super sensitive skin. I saw fewer blackheads in just 2 days..no joke. And it's gentle enough to use every day. I do!
