Whats the best product to use to clear up acne?

Question

I have mild acne. I get zits/pimples around my chin and my forehead.
What kind of product should i use? I've tried Clean and Clear, but it never worked.

Answer 1

These questions are hard because you need to give more info. Based on your description, I would say keep your hair off of your face, get a skin care routine and stick to it: exfoliate once a week with a mild scrub like St. Ives apricot scrub, cleanse twice daily, tone and moisturize. Increase your water and stay away from red no. 5 dye which is found in most foods that are red i.e. hot cheetos, candy, punches, pop, pizza, etc.

Definately PROACTIV. Like someone else said, it's expensive but it really works. It can even get rid of blackheads, control oily skin and fade scars. Ive used it in the past and I'm actually just about to order it again, I have problems with oily skin so I'm getting a special lotion that is supposed to reduce oil, I CANT WAIT! because like i said it really WORKS!

I've tried alot of over the counter things but if u have issues with ur skin some of those products only make matters worse. My skin is very sensitive. A good soap I can honestly say is oatmeal soap, it's great, leaves ur skin feeling refreshed and soft, I have less break outs when I wash my face with oatmeal soap.

ST Ives Apricot Scrub

Yea ur right clean and clear dosnt work! I get acne in the same spots and ever since school started again I just wet my face when i get in the shower and then use DOVE soap and lightly smooth on ur skin. it prevents oil from coming and it dosnt dry ur skin out too bad!!!
It works 4 me!
Good luck

Answer 5

i heard proactive is very good. I have never tried it before but i think i might. I dont really have acne but i sometimes get pimples on my nose and forehead. I think i might give it a go
Hope i helped in some way
Good luck with it all

Answer 6

I like the St. Ives Medicated Apricot Scrub. Anything with Salicylic Acid should help. I use the St. Ives in conjunction with Natures Cure which is a homeopatic tablet that you let dissolve in your mouth, one or two daily. It does the trick!

Answer 7

Well it really depends on your face I use Biore Blemish fighting face wash and hen I use some clearsal ultra at night!
but thats just my routine!
I have been looking for it for a LONG time!
so you will just have to try and see what is you!
and if you find one that really works for a while and then isn't working your face is probly just tired of that one and then you try something else then after a while you can switch back!

Answer 8

Queene Helene makes a Mint Julep masque which is great! I wouldn't use it everyday, because it may dry your skin, and it's a mask that you put on and let harden, so it takes a while, but it definitely clears up your skin a lot. I use it weekly to maintain clear skin, and I love it! Good luck!

ST. Ives Apricot Scrub, choose the one that fits your skin type. Only wah your face twice a day..make sure you remove your makeup.
Use a gentle toner ( I like witch hazel extarct)
Then MOISTURIZE!! (again, according to your skin type)..I use Aveeno...it glows!!lol
And Ive used proactiv, to me its a scam..it has benziyl peroxide, found in many skin products on a Wal Mart shelf...so... since I've quit using it, my skins the best it's ever been!!
Hope this helps!!

The only thing that has kept my skin clear are the prescription from the dermo - retin a and a very strong benzoyl peroxide. Also, make sure you change your pillowcase often!
