i have pretty sensitive skin, and i have moderate acne on my forehead and on my nose.
which acne treatment is actually worth using and has no side effects or percentages of making acne worse?
i dont know anyone who has actually tried proactiv, but the commercials and website show great results, but ive also heard of people who have gotten 10 times worse acne than before....
i dont know anyone who has used Murad, but the adveritising shows results without using famous people (unlike Proactiv), and i havent heard of bad results...
Acne Free in 3 days looks good too...

Murad is almost exactly the same as Proactive, just a tiny bit cheaper; I have used it and the results for me were not worth the price. I started using as close to natural products I could find, I recommend Burt's Bees.

I have used Acne Free! I hated it. It dried out my skin and made it peel which was definitely bad since I have sensitive skin. I would go with Proactiv, some people love it and some people hate it. I honestly didn't ever use Proactiv but I use the Proactiv Refining Mask which is absolutley amazing. It gets rid of zits fast and I ordered it from QVC. Honestly Murad doesn't appeal to me. Good luck!

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

Look, here's the truth: acne is caused by diet. If you clean up your diet (get rid of refined carbs), your acne will decrease. Check out the books by Perricone or Cordain.
