Clearasil Ultra… and if your skin gets greasy try the astringent…. but only on the greasy parts of the skin. Plus its not to expensive
I use a cleaning teatment that is made special for mild acne. Its from clinique its a 3 step cleaning prosess and it has no oils in it. My acne is all cleared up!
I find that “Noxzema” works very well for acne… Usually I get the cleanser that is a lotion with micro-beads… The beads exfoliate your skin leaving it softer, and the lotion containing the beads cleanses your face from dirt and oil.
Alternatively, “St. Ives Apricot Scrub” for oily skin or even for all skin types is a good cleanser. It works the same as Noxzema, except it does not smell as nasty. It smells a bit frutier, and the lotion is much more gritty!
I make sure to wash my face by splashing my face with warm water, as this opens up your pores (heat opens up your pores, allowing sweat). While your pores have been opened, exfoliate with the cleansers… Then rinse off the cleanser with COLD water, as cold water closes the pores up again. That is just a trick I learned… And so far it’s worked great. I rarely have breakouts.
none use oxy it really works
Neutrogena is my favorite.., but although I have mild acne I also get dry skin around my cheeks and under my eyes and I find Neutrogena a lot better for sensitive or dry skin.., it just makes my skin look healthy where clean and clear makes it look pale and flaky (too dry).
However, I think clean and clear is stronger so I’d try Neutorogena first and then go to clean and clear if it doesn’t work.
If over the counter aids don’t help, go see a dermatologist.
if you look at the ingredients on the back, both neutrogena and clean n clear , have Salicylic Acid 2%, correct? so it’s the same. either one,
however, you might want to try something else like, Mentholatum Oxy wash, i use it. it’s benzoyl peroxide instead of SA. they have 2 versions, one is BP 5%, and the other is BP 10%.
I alternate between clean n clear salicylic acid 2% and Oxy 5%
and moisturize with a thin layer of cetaphil and my skin is smooth now.
There is this new popular cream that people have been talking about.
It was even televised on TV.
It prevents future and existing acne, diminishes scars, and lightens skin and blemishes. Fast results too! (It has been claimed that major results can be seen within a week and no later than two weeks)
Before and After photos are available at the given ebay site.
This person is providing 1-3 week trial samples (Only for ONE DOLLAR.. definitely a deal) on ebay at:
Search up “best acne solution ever” on ebay.
First 100 customers can get the item for $1 for one week trial and up to 3 weeks. Or you can buy the whole container for $160
It’s expensive, but the product DOES work.
My sister and cousin who both have major acne have tried the product and they both give it thumbs up. I have also heard many great feedbacks about this cream.
I don’t have a problem with acne, but it seems to have great results on my sister who has moderate to severe acne. Her acne swelling went away overnight.
I hope this helps. =)
I’ve been in that situation and there is really nothing you can do about it. There are things you can do to try to reduce the blemishes and get rid of acne/pimples temporarily but you will always be finding yourself cleaning your face or your body depending on where it’s at.
I mean of course your acne should go away eventually but for some this is the case their whole life.
I’m 29 years old and have been suffering from these little pests since I was a teenager. I tried all sorts of face washes from the local grocery store and what not, but nothing seemed to work. If anything it would just make my skin dry and itchy.
Literally the best acne face wash I’ve ever used has been this stuff called clearpores. It has got rid of the acne to quickest and has been a success ever since I got it. It’s unique cause of it’s herbal supplement you take a long with it that helps your skin from the inside out. I saved money on it at skincleansingsystem.com at the time which was helpful.
You should really look into this stuff and if you can to assure the best results, get the 3 month supply because if it doesn’t work it will still save you butt on the return policy.
Well good luck and best wishes.
