Personally, I love Arbonne! I started using Arbonne's revolutionary NutriMinC Re9 Anti-Aging system last year (hydrating wash, balancing toner, facial serum, transforming lift, corrective eye cream, day creme, and night creme). They also have a great Intelligence line for teens (without anti-aging elements) that you might find beneficial. Arbonne's products are pure, safe, beneficial, hypoallergenic, pH correct, botanically-based products that are formulated with 9 key anti-aging elements. Arbonne does not use alcohol, wax, dyes, chemicals, fragrances, acetone, animal products and bi products, or mineral oil in any of their products which makes me feel good. I know that I'm using a natural system with maximum benefits. The systems also formulated with nanosphere technology. Nanosphere technology helps products to adjust to specific needs (applying more moisture in dry areas and less in oily areas). The anti-aging system is great for all ages and skin types and is specifically formulated to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, the affects of sun damage, and combat the visual signs of aging. Research shows that 6 months continued use of Arbonne's Re9 system gives a 68% decrease in deep density lines and wrinkles. However, I noticed results within a week or two. My skin was much more hydrated and healthy. If you're interested in learning more, I'll be happy to help you.

Have you heard of Arbonne? I use their nutrimin c re9
line and have enjoyed the results very much. I used to use the Clinique 3 step a long time ago. They make 3 various lines.
They also have an acne line as well -
What is nice is the products are natural and good for you -
I have combo. skin with some oily areas. You also have 45 days to return the items if they aren't for you.

Hi,
Clinique 3-step isn't meant for acne-prone skin. How long have you been using it? Realistically it takes up to 6 weeks to see results with *any* skincare regimen.
Seeing a dermatologist is probably your best bet because none of us on the internet can assess your skin type properly. Go before you get acne scars. Acne is controllable, you just need to find the right regimen.
If Proactiv didn't work for you, you probably need something more potent. Like I said, a dermatologist is your best bet. Maybe if your acne is bad enough you can get an Accutane prescription.

I tried proactiv for 2years as well for my excessively oily skin and it didn't work of course. However, there is also another skin care line that is exclusive and worked better than any over-the-counter product I've ever used. It is just as expensive, and also mail-order but so worth it. My oily skin is under control and I seen results in a little under one month, but I felt the results immediately.

I also have oily skin, large pores and light to moderate acne. I used to use Neutrogena and it worked, but I recently switched to Biore products because I find it works better to fight acne by getting to the root of the problem ... my pores.
I used the Biore pore unclogging scrub and the astringent. The astringent is awesome and you can really feel it working because it gives your face a strong cooling sensation.
Biore is rather inexpensive at places like Target and Walmart, so I would suggest giving it a try. And if not, you probably will only waste about 10 bucks total between these two products.

Clear.now is a three step system like proactiv but it works much better. You can get it at www.jewel.mychoices.biz
Someone suggested using toothpaste. Do NOT do this! It will dry out the acne but it can also burn your skin so you'll only be trading acne for red marks on your face. Not a good trade in my opinion.

I also use Clinique 3 step #3.I think #2 can be very drying since it has Salysilic acid,and alcohol.What i do is use a different Jentle cleanser with a little bit of Salysilic acid.Then follow up with Cliniq's toner/Moisturizer.If ind this to work preety well.

Murad, it's an infromercial going on right now. i saw it a few days ago. I was given some as a "gift" from a friend of mine. saw results within a week. it's really good. it hydrates your skin. You want to use it ten times a day.... you should try it. The ACNE COMPLEX KIT is really good.
