is this even the right forum - anyway
I have about 6 pimples on my face. They're not really noticeable (they blend in) but I'm worried that they're going to end up becoming enormous and leave scars on my face :/
How do I get rid of them? And also on my jawline there is a bit of rough skin but it's not noticeable to anyone except me. how do I get rid of that? I've moisturised my face everyday, washed my face everyday, and it still doesn't go away.
I currently use Superdrug's Vitamin E facewash and face moisturiser. Mind you, the face moisturiser feels very heavy and just makes my skin feel a bit slick and sticky.

What I use is Clearasil. It's a really nice and effective daily face wash. It's really good for getting pimples away, and keeping body oil off. You'll definitely see a noticeable improvement within 15-30 minutes. Here in the US it's around $6, and since you're in the UK it's about 4 pounds. So, cheap, yet nothing Off-Brand, and effective.

Thank you so much! When I go out next I'll try and find it so I can buy it :)

You're welcome! :)
It should be in your local drug store or something like that in the hygiene area. Hope it works!

Different products work for different people. Clearasil is a very trustworthy brand, but I prefer Neutrogena products. They make one product called "Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub" which is what I use. You can get it at nearly any drug store, this is what the bottle looks like:

i have tried EVERYTHING and this is what has worked the best for me: all natural stuff. wash your face with lye soap. it is the purest of soaps to use on your face. it doesn't smell full of fragrance, but it pulls out the grease on your face without drying it out. cod liver oil is excellent for your skin. take two tablespoons a day. you can get lemon flavored, it doesn't taste bad at all. after a few weeks, you will notice some effect with the cod liver oil. after six months to a year, your face will be pretty clear. also, if you pop a pimple, clean it with tea tree oil. it is a natural antiseptic and dries it right up. also, if you have scars, lavender oil works wonders. you can use lavender and tea tree on a pimple you just popped, and you can put the lavender all over your face. vitamin c is also good to take. I would take one teaspoon a day. I would start off with one for the first couple of weeks because it could be too much for your stomach. you can get it in powder form, mix it in with water and chug. if you have oily skin, i would not use moisturizer, use geranium oil instead. it is good for oily skin. now for the actual blemishes, you can use sulfur ointment. You can research where you could purchase it. there are also other types of sulfur products, like soap, but to much sulfur isn't really that good for you skin. Plus, the lye soap is much better. i would put the ointment on at night since it leave a residue. if you put in on your blemishes, you will see a difference in the next two days. other recommendations: i wouldn't be getting drunk all the time. alcohol depletes you of your vitamins. I used to break out so bad after drinking. drink lots of water. get plenty of sleep. don't eat greasy fried foods. sun is good for your skin. vitamin d. just don't get sunburned :) this is a great regimen. i have tried everything and this is the best way to go. all of the over the counter stuff and protective never worked for me. My skin hated the chemicals. good luck. So If you're wondering how to get rid of pimples (http://olwomen.com/how-to-get-rid-of-pimples-fast/), just try these home remedies.
