I'm currently using Proactiv, which works well on controlling my acne. However, I've recently noticed that I have these little red veins/capillaries around my mouth - most likely from the scrubbing agents in the cleanser. But since my skin is oily, the rough particles in the Proactiv cleanser is the only thing that really gets in my pores. Is there something else I can use as a cleanser to alternate that is good for oily skin and won't interfere with the Proactiv system? I also get those small round hard things coming out of my pores so I really need something that can deep clean daily, but that's not too harsh.

1] Veins/capillaries - don't scrub your face so hard! People who have these usually are alcoholics, liver failure, or vigorous scrubbers!
2] How long is recently? If it's less than two weeks, your may be getting a lot of clogged pore 'gunk' out with the scrub. Rinse at least twice as much, to make sure nothing is left on your skin before step 2 and 3. [ examine those 'hard things' - are they the color of the proactive scrub, or just white?]
3] More than two weeks, alternate the scrub with a face wash for your skin type.

I have friends who have used Proactive and over time have developed irritated skin. With acne prone skin you should not be using a scrub. Visit www.celestebenoist.myarbonne.com and look at the Clear Advantage acne line. Botanically-based skin care is what your skin needs to heal and function properly.

I have struggled with acne for many years. I still continue to struggle with acne in my mid-20s and always seem to have a few breakouts. I have tried a variety of skin care products over the years. It's like I can never have perfectly clear skin anymore. But after using Zenmed products it's much better now and I am Totally satisfied with product quality and results. I recommend Zenmed products for sure!

My friend use to have acne on his forehead, and he's really into health. So now he uses all natural products. There is this soap called Dr. Bonner's, and it's amazing. http://www.drbronner.com/index.html
Also for light treatments on acne, use DMSO cream, http://www.herbalremedies.com/dmso.html only use it in small amounts, like a dab on trouble spot area's.
Also be careful what you eat, because it plays affects on your skin and aging. It's better to eat organic, although it's more money, it's worth it in the end. Stay away from using microwaves as well, instead use the stovetop. Take a good multi-vitamin.
Hope that helped, it's just my opinions.

Johnson infant cleanser. I even have extremely mushy pores and skin so i do unlike too many chemical ingredients on my face. it extremely is comfortable and suited for my pores and skin texture. I now and returned use Olay as a moisture yet i choose a clean one, lol. BQ: no longer undesirable. I in basic terms have fairly redness yet my pores and skin is enormously sparkling. It was once extremely undesirable however. BQ2: No physique hair XD lol (with the exception of eyebrows, eyelashes and my head hair)

i use to use clean & clear blackhead scrub it works really good and leaves your face feeling minty but ive also learned to change your product every month or so because your skin (or with shampoo -hair) gets use to it so it doesnt work as good as it did at the beginning
