So basically all I have on my face is left over acne scars/slight redness/slightly bigger pores on and around my nose (cheek area).

I've been using: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002CZ4LVA/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details

after my shower, which during, i use

http://www.amazon.com/Neutrogena-Oil-Free-Redness-Soothing-Scrub-4-2/dp/B002BWOY4S/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1330992173&sr=8-4

every other day. Is this too much for a light sensitive skinned person during the winter?

I also just bought: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000U5O650/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details

But i am not sure how or when to use it to my advantage. When should I use this?

I read online today that a sunscreen lotion can also help with pores, should I look into that, and if so which one? or is it not worth buying? (being that I have light sensitive skin, i'm not 100% sure) and if I bought it, wouldnt it be too much on my skin at once?

Thanks, and let me know if pictures of my skin will help.

Hi there!

I am not certain about the products you posted. Hopefully someone will post their opinions about them.

But for the scarring and big pores, have you ever done an at-home peel? Those are wonderful for scarring, discoloration and reducing pore size. Check out this site: http://www.makeupartistschoice.com/catalog/Acne_Scars-82-1.html Their testimonial page, with before and after pictures, is awesome! I've used the glycolic acid and TCA peels over the last year and have reduced my dark melasma and the few age spots I had by at least 75% using peels.

You could even email them with questions to ask exactly which product/products you should start with.

Hope that helps. Smile
