Best thing I have used yet is to first wash with neutrogena cleanser/mask in one--dont use it as a mask, it will over dry. then follow with neutrogena alcohol-free toner, then I bought clean and clear oil free moisturizer, and added a simple tube (1/2 tube) of clearisil to it. ( I actually went to Dollar general and bought a $1 tube of a generic clearisil) I got this idea after trying proactiv and acne-free products and has worked so well, if not better. I have struggled with moderate acne since I was a teenager, I am 28 now, and I DO NOT break out, even around my period. OH, I also scrub with EQUATE brand medicated apricot scrub everyday in the shower. The price for all products is around $20-$25 but the quantities are much larger that proactiv or acne-free, and you can replace individually each time, instead of having to purchase another kit.

THIS WORKS FAST & CHEAP!!!
I used Tetracyclin, Proactive, Retina A and had many expensive facials with less than good results.
This has worked for me and many many other happy people. Go to pharm.,Drug store, or Walmart,
buy "PURPOSE" bar of soap - Blue box - Made by Johnson & Johnson - wash your face with this
2-3x's per day. Also pick up a LOW strength Benzoyl-peroxide cream, apply the cream by dabbing
to the individual blemishes.... DONT rub it in works using a oxidation/reduction reaction...DONT over
use this or put anywhere else on your face.. It will cause drying and make you look worse. Also, If need
which probably will for moisture ASK FOR "NUTRADERM lotion" - the orginal not the new stuff, this works
great and wont clog pores or leave a residue on your skin...Additonal TIPS: acne, pimples, etc are
frequently cause by a bacteria or hormone issues.... DONT PICK POP POKE (your hands are the
dirtiest part of your body) and will cause: infections, spreading of germs, more breakouts and scarring
DONT EVER listen to people online who tell you to scrub your sensative skin or use harsh chemicals
such as: Lemon juice, vinagar, alcohol, etc... DONT EVER use that APRICOT CRAP!!! DONT USE
PROACTIVE- this is expensive and harsh it may kill the bacteria cause also Benzoyl based wash but
will irritate skin and cause bleaching of face and neck.... Other similar treatments may work.. also
things such as Accutane but have serious side effects.... THIS WORKS FAST AND CHEAP!!! I no
longer get expensive facials, take oral antibiotics, or even NEED makeup... I am very happy - Have
very good skin... and have many many other happy friends... THANKS again to my WONDERFUL
DERMATOLOGIST... TRY THIS!! GOOD LUCK.... PS. "PURPOSE" costs about $3

dermatologist - they can write prescriptions for medicines that no longer are legal for us to purchase OTC Also go to a tanning salon UV bulbs (for sun lamps) are also no-longer sold OTC. Big Brother knows best
