The retinol is supposed to help with acne, wrinkles, blackheads, and acne scars. I've used it for a week (almost every night) and notice that zits are better in the morning, but I still get new ones and my scars are fading. I have had blackheads on my nose start to stick out above the surface. Does this mean they're coming out, or getting bigger?Has anyone used neutrogena nightly renewal cream to fight blackheads or acne scars? any luck?

Cheryl writes, ';My daughter developed a case of moderate acne, and after trying a number of different things for over a year which helped very little or not at all, she started drinking 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar three times a day and applying it topically once at night. She has been acne free for two months. It took about three weeks to clear up.';

How to Get Rid of Acne in 5 Easy Steps
S
Struggling with acne? Many drug companies would like you to believe that using expensive prescription creams or cleansers will rid you of acne. Worse still, commonly prescribed drugs like Accutane can cause dementia, depression and many other serious side effects. A growing body of research into the root causes of acne suggests that the causes of acne begin on the inside long before pimples appear on your skin.
Research suggests that the root causes of acne are nutritional deficiencies, hormones imbalances, and stress. This suggests that nutritional supplements known to counteract these causes can stop acne in its tracks.
In these five steps, you'll learn how to overcome acne the natural way.
There is currently only one targeted nutritional supplement on the market that fights all of the root causes of acne. Frutels, a gummy vitamin for acne, provides the full spectrum of B vitamins, known to fight hormone imbalances and stress, zinc for improved skin cell repair, vitamin C for its anti-oxidant powers, vitamin E for collagen and cell repair, and several other key ingredients. B-12, E, Zinc and C all fight inflammation.
An increasing body of research indicates that consuming a targeted regimen of vitamins and minerals can actually counteract the root causes of acne. B vitamins are depleted in sugar metabolization, so Americans' sugar/carb heavy diets tend toward deficiency in these and other key vitamins.
Harsh Cleansers with Salycilic Acid or Hydrogen Peroxide are sometimes used to treat acne. These inflame the skin and dry out sebaceous glands. There is no scientific study showing that dirt, grime, and bacteria cause acne.
As long as you are using a mild soap or cleanser to clean your face, you are removing all of the elements that can clog pores. Using a clean washcloth when you wash your face provides gentle exfoliation of dead skin.
Increasing your consumption of water will improve the ability of your body to hydrate skin. In a recent study, German researchers observed increased skin hydration and decreased fluid retention in the skin of individuals who consumed about nine 8 oz. glasses of water per day for a week.
Excessive amounts of sugars in alcoholic drinks deplete the vitamins and minerals that your body needs to fight acne. Taking 2-4 Frutels a day should counteract the effects of moderate alcohol consumption, but binge drinking could reduce Frutels effectiveness.
Avoid products with high fructose corn syrup. HFC can be found in nearly all processed foods in a grocery aisle. Food that appears healthy like yogurt, tea, etc often contains a high HFC content. Soft drinks are notorious for their HFC content. Avoid sweetened processed foods, and sweeten your own food or beverages with honey or sugar; you will add far less simple sugars than the industrializes.
