What is a product that, naturally, gets rid of acne and that is gentle on your skin.-one that isn't harsh to your skin and that doesn't have excess chemicals in it ? More specificly, products that are good for oily, blemished skin and that make your skin healthy and clear.

I think the best products are ones you can prepare yourself at home. This way you can be assured of their quality, and lack of chemicals and preservatives.

Herbal Cleansing Grains are gentle to the skin, mildly exfoliating, and leave your skin feeling so soft and tingly.

This is one recipe I developed over 10 years ago specifically for oily and acne prone skin.

Mix together:
*1 cup oats
*1/4 cup rice bran
*1/4 cup Kaolin Clay
*1/8 cup Hemp seeds
*1 small hand-full each of Yarrow, Lemon Verbena, Lavender, and Grapefruit Mint (any mint is fine)
*10 drops Lemongrass essential oil
*20 drops Lavender essential oil

Grind the mixture in a coffee grinder, and store in a glass jar by the bathroom sink

To use this, add just enough warm water to a tbsp of the mixture to make a thick paste. Scrub this into your skin and leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing off with cool water.
Use this at least twice a day, instead of soap or other cleansers. Your skin will feel and look awesome. Trust me.

Also, carry around a little spritzer bottle of Lavender Water with you and mist your face throughout the day. You can find this at most health food stores. Lavender is antiseptic, anti-bacterial, great for acne, and smells wonderful.

For a potent anti-zit juice, mix together equal parts Lavender essential oil and Tea Tree essential oil. Dab this directly onto your zits with a Q-tip 2 - 3 times per day. Just make sure not to apply it to the rest of your face, as it can be overly drying when undiluted.

I have seen these 3 simple treatment work wonders for people. Try them, and email me with your results!

Well i use a Neutrogena Combo

i use "Oil-Free Acne Wash" and then after i use that i use Neutrogena "Clear Pore Oil-Eliminating Astringent"

the astringent is very strong and like it says on the back it can cause pealing...if a acne medication causes pealing it means its working!i know it may not look good at all and it will feel terrible at first but after a few days it will start to be normal

i recommend only using it once a day tho...i recommend use at night...i use in the morning too but my skin has gotten use to it...

sorry i do not know anything about it being organic...but if i were you i would not get too picky when it comes to looking for a good anti-acne product

try witch hazel extract! and tea tree oil. You can use the tea tree oil by putting a couple of drops to 30ml of distiled water use this as a toner/ astringent after washing your face thoroughly. you can also use a facial scrub like St. Ives apricot scrubs or something more expensive since your want to make sure. and always use a moisturizer like loreal or shiseido(much pricier), since having dryskin can result in break outs. remember that having an oily skin doesn't mean that your skin is well moisturized. it doesn't come together.

I started making cleansing grains after a friend gave me a recipe for them. I love what it has done for my skin. I have a different skin type than you, so the recipe I have wouldn't work for you. Herb Goddess's suggestions sound really good though. I'm not a professional, like she is, but I like to dabble in natural remedies, and can at least recognize that the ingredients she lists off would be good for your skin type.
