I use the healing brush to paint over acne with the texture of a patch of good skin.

Combine this with some healing brush...

You can use hue/saturation to remove the redness and then spot healing brush and cloning to do the rest. These are very small images....

Healing brush in CS3 always helped me.

Sorry about the small images, I'm having trouble re-sizing. sometimes I can get a large version on here, but other times it says the image is too large. I will try the healing brush. Thanks for all the tips. and "Benji" I sent you a pm!

Yes, definitely heal brush. Alt+click an area of skin that is clear and close in tone. then I sometimes use Filter>noise>median blur at a low percent to soften the skin on a seperate layer. Then, delete the areas such as the eyes, lips, and other areas requiring high def. The layered images will yield a beutiful skin composition.

I like to clone acne as opposed to healing brush. I feel I get better results consistently this way.

For the redness, you can take the skin to another layer, drop the red a bit in levels.
