Before spending an arm and a leg on a product, I really would like some input from people out there who have experience with different brands, etc. Is there one brand or type that is known for being the most effective? I am looking for something with at least 2% Beta Hydroxy (aka Salicylic Acid). Any testimonials or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

"Complex 15" is an excellent product and can be found at most pharmacies.

If you are open to a new suggestion, I use an anti-aging cream with Alpha Hydroxy 8% by Walgeens, it is simply called Alpha Hydroxy Face Cream and comes in a white jar, black lid, costs about $9.00. Alpha Hydroxy is a non-toxic derivative from sugar cane and is known for its exfoliating (removes dead skin cells) and rejuvenating effects. It tightens and firms skin, and I have been using it for over a year. I am mid(ahem) forties and do not have any wrinkles! I also wear sunscreen, and makeup with sunscreen added to make sure I don't get sunburned on my face.

I personally have not tried this, but Olay has Total Effects Anti-Aging Anti-Blemish Moisturizer http://olay.com/boutique/totaleffects/products/te1009?tab=ingrelist It contains Salicylic Acid as well!
I use Total Effects 7X http://olay.com/boutique/totaleffects/products/te1000?tab=relprods It's an anti-aging moisturizer, but it doesn't contain Salicylic Acid. It's light and it makes a difference in the appearance of my skin.

salicylic acid is very drying and i doubt it would be of help in an anti aging cream, they are usually alpha hydroxy products, which is what one doctor on oprah said was the only product proven to really improve the look of your aging skin. its not expensive, alpha hydrox brand was about 6 dollars a bottle when i tried it.

I personally find that the more you wash oily skin the more oily it seems to get, i try to wash my skin twice a day morning and at night. The products i use are L'oreal 360 they have a few different kinds and one if for deep cleaning and it works amazingly. Then i use neutrogena toner it comes in a blue bottle and it's alcohol free so it's doesn't burn i also use toner through out the day with a cotton ball if i find my skin is getting a bit too oily and it works well. As for exfoliating i use two kinds one is st'ives apricot scrub but i've heard this isn't that great for your skin but it sure does a great job at making my skin soft, the other i use is from merle norman I'm not sure if you have one there but if not they have a site.

I love Arbonne's anti-aging products. here are some before and afters: http://www.arbonne.com/company/people/before-after.asp
I like the eye cream, as a mother of 3 young kids, the lines and dark circles were bad.... Also, my mother-in-law uses the body wash and lotion and loves it. Most people that try it do very well with the anti-aging line.

I use MD Forte. It has glycolic acid which is what you want. It is a wonderful product and has really helped with the fine lines. I also use the facial cleanser and it helps shrink large pores. It is available at dermatologists offices.
