Answer 2

The products you are using, are they Salsylic Acid or Benzoyl peroxide? BP can be VERY drying. I personally like SA better. Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! Try finding a face lotion with SA in it. Clean and Clear has a good moisturizer with SA and it helps keep pimples at bay. It is only about $5 a bottle and lasts about 2 months and you can get it at your local store. I have used this in the past and it works well. Personally, I use Biore products (which you get over the counter. Their products range from $5-$10). They are harsh on pimples, but not on your face.
Personally, Proactive didn't work for me. I have been using Biore products for over a year and I hardly ever break out! Occasionally I will get one or two, but nothing bad. I use Biore Ice Cleanser for acne and Biore warming facial scrub every morning for blackheads (This stuff works. I notcied a DRASTIC diffrence in my blackeads being GONE within 2 weeks) . And then 3-4 day s a week I use Biore purging pore cream scrub. For body acne I use Neutrogena acne body wash I never break out on my body. It gets 110 in summer so sweat in inevitably, yet I never break out. Give it a try. All of it is cheap too. About $5-10 depending on what you buy! Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! I think you will just need to experiment with products until you find what works for you. Remember, it can take 1 month for products to fully begin working! Good Luck!

St. Ives Apricot Scrub works for my 15 year old son, but I use Proactiv and we both use Neutrogena's Acne Gel to cover those pesky flare ups. Everyone's skin is different and it took both of us trying quite a few different things before we each found something that worked.

Cleanse your face, I did it with soap and water because my skin used to be very, very oily. I used lemon, just cut a wedge and rubbed it all over my face, let it sit a bit and then cleaned it all off with water. My face cleared up and my skin was really pretty good. I never knew if it was the lemon or the extra cleaning. Then on Oprah a woman was on with inexpensive products that work and lemon was one she used for cleaning her face. I used it like an astringent and within a couple of weeks I could see a BIG difference. It's really great now because I have a lemon tree outside so its free. . .

Answer 5

Mary Kay has an awesome Velocity cleanser and light moisturizer for acne prone skin. It is so affordable too. It's so important to moisturize as well as cleanse because lots of issues such as oil=dryness=acne is caused by lack of moisture! Anyhow. worked for me!
