Okay I'm confused! I have frequent acne break-outs and I'm torn between using three different brands:
-Biore (never tried, seems proffesional enough to try)
-Clean & Clear (tried but only the morning burst stuff. want to try but heard bad reviews yet very good reviews!)
-St. Ive's acne cleanser (used and worked well but didnt clear it up COMPLETELEY. and i want to get best reults possible)
what do you guys think???

Biore, Clean & Clear and St.Ive's acne cleanser will not work well for some people. The best acne product hands down is acne zine, which I know works very, very well. I've included the link below.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots

Just a suggestion, but do you drink a lot of caffiene soda?
Because I started getting bad acne when I was about 18 and i went to the health food store and the lady said "try not drinkling pop for a week". I thought it was dumb but I did and my acne got better. I thought it was the sugar in the pop so one day about a month later I ordered iced tea... well then I figrued it out! It was the caffiene! I only break out when I drink caffiene. Its such an easy solution! I know everybody is different but if you've tried everything else, its worth a shot!

Honey I've tried ProActive, and that DOES NOT work. It makes your skin worse. Right now, I use Clean & Clear wash off cream. It deep cleans really well. Hope it helps!!

The really best 'take it all away, and it won't come back' thing is Accutane. My son had horrible acne all over his body. After taking Accutane, his skin has no scars, no acne, and it never came back! His skin is beautiful............he took it at age 15, and he is now 37.

Personally, I find clean and clear to be the best as it does not dry out the face but provides moisture. Their line of cream cleansers works the best. I've rarely had acne break outs.
Biore, I find dries out the skin.
St. Ive's smells great but really does not work that well. You get results for awhile but then you end up wasting your money. Their line of moisturizing cream provides little to no support.
However, the best acne product depends on one's skin. You may find that some products do not agree with your skin - causing it to dry out or causing more break outs. For those with sensitive skin, some of these products may cause a slight irritation of stripping of the skin. Its simply a trial and error thing.
Also, with whatever acne cream you choose. There are stuff that you can do to help reduce acne break outs such as the following:
1. Food choices - eat more greens, reduce junk food
2. Drink more water as replenishes the skin
3. Find a face cream to use after you wash you face such as the Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer, which helps to prevent acne break outs on a daily basis, and the most important tip of all
4. when washing your face begin by using warm water as it opens you pores and then apply the acne product, as it will allow acne fighting ingridents in the to reach those problem areas. Then when rinsing it off splash some cold water on your face to close the pores.
Also, another good product not listed here is Nivea.
