1. Lay off the pizz, will ya.
2. If it's really bad, you will have to take Accutane. Otherwise, try a non-oily make-up. L'Oreal is good.. don't use cheap pharmacy stuff like Maybeline or Covergirl..
3. proactiv works VERY well. if you want something good that wont dry out your skin, go for that. its sold in malls now. and the best makeup for your face depends on your skin type. if you are oily, get makeup with no oil. and something that doesnt clog pores. i use clinique makeup and its pretty good. a little expensive, but for the best cover its gonna be a little pricy. also, that bare minerals stuff on the infomerical is GREAT! i sound like an infomerical freak, but those 2 work very well. hope i helped.
4. Mary Kay is the best-Velocity
5. I find witch hazel to be great. Put some on a cotton ball and wipe your face morning and night. Use a non oily moisturiser
6. Try the Clear Skin Regimen by Acne.org, I set a goal of three months for myself last April and stuck with it, after a month my skin was completely clear, and since I set a goal farther away it was easier to achieve, as I didn't have my hopes up for a quick fix
7. salycilic acid,........... revlon colorstay with soft flex for "oily skin" black cap not the red one..... DONT choose the wrong powder!!!! they break u out so choose neutrogena healthy skin, powder in translucent, no matter what color revlon soft flex u choose.

9. I really want to help. I reccomend this site to get good information about acne. http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Acne Someone reccomended accutane: accutane works to remove permanently acne, but check the severe side effects it can have on you: http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/accutane I have tried witch hazel and it didnt work at all on me. It should be good for minor skin irritations. I have tried antibiotics two times. The first time I used it for about two months and my acne cleared some but not completely. I decided to stop, because is not good to take antibiotics for too long. This was like a year ago. The second time I tried antiobiotics was a month ago, it was another kind. They were prescribed for two weeks: they didnt help at all. If your daughter must use makeup it has to be oil free, because if it is not it will clog her pores even more. I am currently trying the Clinique line for acne. They have a line for treating acne and the line also offers makeup like foundation and powder. I use the foundation and it has good coverage. I am currently trying their acne clearing stuff. My acne cleared a little with one week of treatment but now it has come back. I will continue treatment for a month to see if I obtain better results. If this doesnt work, my next plan is to try Pro-active. I have heard comments about dieting my whole life and how some certain foods promote acne (chocolate, pizza, nuts, cheese...). I dont really believe this myself, because it has not been scientifically proven that this foods have this effect.
10. Derma blend....I have friend that has a tattoo that she doesn't like, and no one knows she has it because she covers it with derma blend...it is also used by people who have those bright red strawberry birth marks on their face...Its like "face in a bottle"..You will have to call around to some of the bigger department stores or possibly ask a dermatologist...As I am not too sure where she buys it..Good luck!
