Yes, it's definitely bad. Squeezing spots spreads oil and bacteria and can leave scars that can stay with you for years. Plus, giving in to squeezing that spot will not give you the quick fix you had in mind. Squeezing actually aggravates the pore and the surrounding area, making it difficult for the skin to hold concealer like it normally would. If you really want to make a spot disappear, try washing with Clearasil Ultra® Rapid action gel wash - and follow with Clearasil Ultra® Rapid Action Treatment Cream. You'll see a visible reduction in spot size and redness in just 4 hours!

Face it, we've all squeezed a blackhead or two. But squeezing can break the wall of the pore, releasing oil and dirt into healthy skin. It can also leave scars. Blackhead prevention begins with a clean surface. Try Clearasil® Blackhead Clearing Scrub with natural sea salt to help clear away blackheads and purify the skin.

Oil glands in the dermis distribute oil to the skin's surface through openings called pores. Pores can be large and noticeable or tiny and invisible. Generally, larger pores mean a greater chance of breakouts. A good scrub like Clearasil DailyClear® Clear‘n Refine Daily Scrub can help keep your pores free of the dirt and bacteria that can plague them.

Oil-based makeup can definitely aggravate spots. Always look for oil-free, water-based, and non-comedogenic makeup products. And start with a fresh palette. Begin by washing your face, follow with a toner like Clearasil DailyClear® Deep Cleansing Toner, and apply your makeup with clean fingertips or a clean cosmetic sponge.

Dry Skin is no guarantee that you won't break out. The trick is to be diligent about cleansing, without irritating or drying out your skin. Try a gentle yet effective cleanser like DailyClear Skin Perfecting Wash for Sensitive Skin. It will leave your skin fresh and clean, without drying it out.

Your skin responds to what's going on in your body. Increased hormone levels can cause spots and prompt breakouts during puberty, or when you're stressed out. While there's not much you can do to prevent these flare-ups, you can make more diligent use of your cleansers and scrubs to help keep breakouts to a minimum

Yes. Body spots occur for the same reason as facial spots-clogged pores: bacteria combined with excess oil. Body breakouts tend to happen in areas where oil glands are most abundant like the chest and back. And the same products that work to fight spots on your face should do the trick on your chest and back. Try Ultra Rapid action gel wash, or Ultra Rapid action scrub for these tough areas.

False. Blackheads form due to an excess of oil on the skin that gathers and blocks the pore. When the pore is open, the oil is exposed to oxygen which reacts and turns a dark color, resulting in a blackhead.

No. Believe it or not, even oily skin needs moisture, and the right moisturizer can actually help balance your skin and smooth out rough spots. Oily and spot-prone skin will do best with oil-free, water-based products. Read the labels, they will help you find the products that are right for you.

False. There is no age limit to spots. But hormones do play a key role in adult spots. The thing to remember is this: generally, adult skin is less oily than teen skin.
