Acne: A common problem, acne can't be 'spot' treated. This is often attempted with otc meds and the popular tv stuff. Get on a good skin care regimen, use mild soaps without additives or fragrances--ie are noncomedogenic--and use bare mineral makeup if you must wear any at all. No alcohol, no peroxide even for oily skin, and no oil based cosmetics. Splash face with cold water before applying makeup.
