To add to Melissa's post, here's a GREAT product for when you get rid of the acne...

...but still have some icky hyperpigmentation, or red spots left from pimples.

Murad Age Spot Pigment Lightening Gel. At Sephora or Ulta, but I buy mine on EBay because it's gads cheaper. But man....it works. I also tout the GNC Hair, Skin, Nail vitamins. I still get a pimple, but not like before. I also use the makeup Melissa wrote about.

And some girls who are preg ask about what they can use. Azelex (azelaic acid) is safe. I also believe Mario Badescu has some preg-safe zit killers. I wish I didn't know a lot about this, but I began seeing the derm when I was 11. Well, I am a Murad girl but I may replace my cleanser with the one Mel mentions!
