I have fair, combination skin & I was wondering what you guys use for clear skin. I get a lot of zits when I do get them & always have black heads on my nose. 1. What do you guys use to get rid of blackheads? 2. What do you guys use to decrease zits? 3. I have really bad dark circles under my eyes because I am very fair & I was wondering what I can use to fade them out or get rid of them?

Bad picture but whatever. That's the circles under my eyes. I also have a zit in the middle between my eyebrows that scarred.

What kind of soap? Is that all that you use?

I have fair/light, sensitive, oily, breakout prone skin. For direct treatment/prevention of acne, a combination of benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid is a standard, very effective routine. I feel I must sound like I work for them, but I cannot recommend Paula's Choice enough. I've tried stuff more expensive than theirs, but their formulations are just top notch from everything I've looked at in more than 7 years.

You should also be looking into daily sun protection if you don't already use it. Sun damage makes acne worse, impedes healing, and ages your skin faster.

At least get the basics with acne treatment+daily SPF before you go into something more advanced. As for dark circles, you can't really treat those with topically applied products. Getting a good night's sleep may help marginally, but ultimately the only thing to do is use cosmetics.

I can definitely recommend something more in depth, but would need to know what your other skin concerns are, as well as price range, and how rigorous you want your routine to be.
