Do you guys know of any facial products that will give me clear, even-toned, smooth skin on my face and body. I'm Jamaican and my skin is dark. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! I've heard that Ambi products and Neutrogena Visibly Even products are good but I need your help. Thank you so much in advance!

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..It will unclog
dry it out and bring it to a head..DONT over use this or put anywhere else on your face.. It will cause drying and make you look worse. Salicylates such as found in regular asprin among other products
work very similar but also remove layers of skin...other over the counter creams with this product will
dry out pimples but maybe too hash and cause surrounding skin trauma... I have seen many people
recommending crushing asprin and making a paste which probably will dry out the blemish but again
pretty strong and probably will cause more tissue damage and bigger scars as an anti inflammatory
probably would take the reddness out.. but again feel pretty harsh for sensative skin..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.... Eating healthy... changing pillow cases freq.
etc ...avoiding dirty sports equp. such as helmets...can not hurt.......................................
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

I like Proactive it helps with acne better than what was prescribed by the Dermatologist. I don't get a toned, smooth and totally acne free skin. I'd talk with a Dermatologist about a skin peel.

Hi,
I recommend an at-home microdermabrasion kit. It is safe for dark skinned people and it evens out skin tone and texture after a few uses. you have to be careful though with what product you choose, there are some that may cause irritations and breakouts. for me, neutrogena and pond's worked very well, but they might not work for you. my suggestion would be to try to obtain some free samples from some of the most popular microderma kits, try them for a few days each then decide which one is best for you. don't trust all the advertising promises made by manufacturers, some of the kits only scrub your face, giving you insignificant short term results.
Hope this helps.

I have a report on acne from a medical doctor. It might provide you with the information you are looking for and help you achieve the skin you want. Leave a message for Terry at (519) 758 5738 with your name, number, and best time to reach you. I will call you to get your email address so I can email you the free report. Take care.

Wal-mart makes a generic form of Proactive. I've used it and it works very well. It's an inexpensive alternative to Proactive.
