A lot of the face cleaners out today only cause me to break out worse, especially Neutrogena. I have very oily skin and, although less so now that I’m older, have bad acne mostly around my mouth. What do you use to keep acne away?

erm okay well i noticed that u mention that neutrogena breaks u out the most so ill eliminate that right away. :]
my suggestion is to use more gentler products. I used to use harsh products for acne that are all medicated but too much of these medicines are way too harsh for ur skin. One or two is fine though. I’ve used stuff from proactive, acnefree, medicated cleansers, expensive department store stuff like sheseido, differin, duac, etc. none of them worked very well for me. Most of them made my skin worse.
i have oily, acne-prone skin too but it does get really sensitive when i use the wrong kind of products. and i used to have a scatter of pimples all along my forehead too. but now it stopped and currently i only have two tiny whiteheads on my chin (barely noticeable).
But I have some acne scars on my cheeks and, thank goodness, they are actually fading away in a reasonable pace. i also, have some rough patches on my skin leftover from acne scars but they are becoming as soft as the rest of my skin with help from my skin products.
Here are the products I am currently using that has been treating my skin like a miracle:
cleanse with morning burst cleanser by clean and clear in the morning and oxygenating fizzing cleanser at night (also by clean and clear). use cooling daily pore toner by clean and clear and do not use an astringent which will strip away natural oils and cause ur face to produce more oil than needed.
use an oil-free moisturizer with spf 15 and above for day. use dual action moisturizer by clean and clear for night.
use persa-gel 10 for breakouts and pimples.
and use a clay mask containing sulfur once or twice a week (more on days of breakouts). try queen helene mint julep masque. or proactive refining mask. U can also spottreat and dab on a spot of it directly on ur pimples without rubbing it in. just dab lightly! and leave it on overnight. it should become smaller, less red, less noticeable, or disapear completely the next morning.
If u use makeup, use only oil-free and water-based foundation (but I suggest u not use foundation at all because oil-free or not, it will clog ur pores), and oil-free powder and concealer. Try getting one that contains acne-fighting ingredients (look at some Neutrogena products).
DO NOT use toothpaste or deodorant or any of those weird "remedies"!! they are only myths and will only ruin ur skin condition even more! stick with things that are MEANT for ur face.
Also, after I washed my pillow and blankets (that I hadn’t washed for a few weeks), my skin stopped breaking out so much everytime I wake up in the morning. I realized that wherever I put my face on the pillow, I wake up the next morning with a huge red pimple right on that spot where my face was on the pillow! So wash it every week or as much as possible. And also wash ur towel. Don’t use a washcloth because it collects bacterias everytime u wipe ur face with it and it gets all over ur skin… unless u wash it after every single time u use it. Instead use tissue paper, toilet paper, or paper towels to blot ur face dry.
i hope that helps! :]

Right now my skin is perfectly clear, for the first time in 3 years. It's been about 9 weeks and all my acne is gone. It is such a great feeling to wake up with clear skin.

I've had acne and pimples over 4 years. I tried everything, of course I went to the DR. about a hundred times, probably not that many, but it sure seems like it. It never did any good for long and caused all kinds of other issues having to do with taking too many antibiotics. It wasn't until I stumbled upon the information on this site

I have sensitive and irritable skin. It also makes my skin so dry. I talked to my doctor and she said find something more natural. I told her I have been Olay face lotion and irritated my skin. She said Olay products cause more breakout on your face. She recommended me Aveeno face lotion. I am using botanicals product for about a year and I love it. My sister tried and also likes it. It is for sensitive skin. They use all natural ingredients. They have eyeliner to face wash to lotion and soo on. I recommend it for anybody.
