I shave my face with an eyebrow razor, so I get a bunch of little bumps on my face that don’t seem like blackheads nor whiteheads. Supposedly, this is called keratosis pilaris. I’m 15 so I have hormonal acne as well. I do wear makeup too. I have a lot of blackheads that are VERY hard to get out. My skin is very prone to inflammation and I have a lot of discoloration in my skin from acne. What I really need is a cleanser that will calm my skin down, stop the tiny bumps, stop ingrown hairs and acne.

I’m 15 and I use Clinique. I used to have really bad acne as well. Try about a week without makeup and use any type of wash from them at least twice a day. It works wonders, just make sure you are taking all of your makeup off at night and you wash your face before and after you use your makeup
Acne has nothing to do with washing or not washing.
Blackheads are hair follicles filled with sebum. It turns black when it hits air. Again, nothing to do with washing or not washing.
Shaving does not normally cause bumps, although it can encourage ingrown hairs. Nevertheless, men shave every day and ingrown hairs are rare. Ingrown hairs tend to happen where the skin is covered by fabric, such as where the shirt collar covers the neck.
Scars are softened by vitamin E. Get "Pure Vitamin E Skin Beauty Oil" at the cosmetics counter. Be sure it says "Pure". You can also use capsules by poking a hole with a pin and squeezing the oil out. Vitamin E has to soak in, so put it on when you can leave the skin bare for a while.
Blackheads are not usually hard to get out. You need to see a dermatologist to find out what condition you actually have.
