   J&J’s deep-pore cleansing facial wash. I heard Burt’s Bees’ Tomato soap is good, but haven’t tried it yet.

   I’m in the same boat as you- but the only thing that worked for me was medication that my doctor prescribed. I live in Canada, so it was covered by the heath plan, but if you live in the US I don’t recommend it- expensive stuff.

   Try St. Eves Apricot Scrub (available at most drugstores). It will get rid of excess oil and help fight blemishes. Also, for difficult blackheads i would try the Biore face strips. they are easy and very effective. Hope i helped!

   Get any kind of face wash that has 2% (or higher) salicylic acid (ex. st. ives, aveeno, equate, neutrogena’s acne fading peel) and a moisturizer (no oil in them except for safflower oil, which is rare to find) for your skin. Wash your face with water that has 1 or 2 lids of rice vinegar or apple vinegar (that’ll get rid of the redness immediately – if you have any). Also, use eggs to fade scars (if you have any) and reduce breakouts. One more thing, for discoloration that occurs because of pimples, mix white toothpaste with a drop or two of rice or apple vinegar. It needs to be creamy and not liquidy. This will get rid of the discolorations in a few days if its new and a week or so if it’s old.

   Also, try not to sleep on the side of your face because you can spread more bacteria from the pillow sheet to your face (if you sleep with the same pillow sheet everyday) causing more acne. If you need to sleep on the side of your face, put a towel over your pillow sheet every 1 – 3 days.

   The egg treatment is very effective in getting rid of pimples very fast (usually in under 15 minutes).

   I would use skinID by Neutrogena. They get an assessment for your skin so you can have the cleanser made especially for your skin type.
