It mightn't be anything to do with your skincare routine though....I've heard rumours that spots on your chin can be to do with hormones (which would explain why I get them the same time every month!) or with your liver function... Dunno how true any of that is!

You could maybe try a very gentle facial scrub as well, just to make sure any dead skin cells aren't clogging your pores. Maybe something from the Simple skincare range, something gentle.

me and my bro have v bad comb skin - flaky on the nose and i get these small, red, under-the-skin kind of spots on my chin and cheeks. went to dermatologist over d summer and he recommended
# ROC PURIF AC clarifying cleanser
# Le Roche Posay Toleraine Fuid moisturiser for combination to oily skin

both available in most chemists and i find them excellent. if you do go with the ROC cleanser only use it once a day for the first two weeks, as it can be drying on your skin at first, but trust me it is fantastic when your skin gets used to it.

hope this helps

Just get benzoyl peroxide 2.5% cream and ask the chemist about a good cleanser and moisturiser. This is a good site for tips http://www.acne.org/regimen.html
I find Simple facewash good. Cetaphil is the best but it's too expensive (€8) so I only get it when I actually have spots.

Spots are almost only caused by your hormones, you can change that by going on the pill, but try to cure them with a routine before doing anything that drastic.
