    Default very effective acne regimine

    get a box of Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash Cleansing Cloths (large orange box) and a container of Neutrogena Rapid Clear Treatment Pads (round orange and white container). every morning and every night (dont skip) wash ur face and then use the pads. i did this and my face has already started clearing up in 2 days.

    just wanted to share that with u guys! i know everyones skin reacts differently to things, but this works soooo good for me and i think its worth a try for u girls with acne!

    Neutrogena always made my face worse.

    I've had the best luck with Avon's line of skin care stuff, though.

    I'm still traumatized from those Oxy alcohol pads that made my face crack & bleed. (Flashback to teenage acne: AAAH!) For most women, they need a combo of dietary alterations & a mild topical treatment.
    The only thing that worked for me was strong Birth Control....in case that helps anyone...

    Salicylic Acid always breaks me out. Some people say it does get worse before it gets better, but as my skin would get really gross I never stuck around long enough to find out.
    I use Dove soap which clears me up, but normally my acne is pretty tame anyway. If I do get the occasional PMS breakout, benzoyl peroxide works for me, but in a water based gel, not a cream.

    Glad you found something that works though

    I've always just used antibacterial soap and Neutrogena overnight treatment gel with a strong Benzoyl Peroxide concentration and nothing worked better....until one day I took a reaction to it.

    Now I just use medicated Apricot scrub and plain Dial soap and it works just as well.

    Leaving my face well alone always seems to work!.. Soap .. water ! voila!

    Strong products make my face go nuts!.. if I get a bad break out just go to the doctors for something prescription .. Lush Fresh Pharmacy soap is amazing, as is their angel face.. I love Lush

    i've been told that your skin has to get rid of all the gunk trapped in your pores(egch!) before it can start clearing up.

    I've read on acne.org that benzoyl peroxide creams work best when used regularly as both a treatment and a preventative, by applying generously to your whole face (or affected area). But most 10% bp creams are much too irritating for that, so 2.5% creams (like Neutrogena On The Spot) applied generously are more effective. I know that this actually did work for me--benzoyl peroxide was the only thing that got rid of acne, but 10% made my skin itchy and red.

    Acne.org's regimen (NOTS, Purpose liquid cleanser, moisturizer du jour) has kept my face almost completely clear for 3 years now. I use far less NOTS than the regimen calls for, and only at night, to maintain. Before that I broke out like mad.

    wow... great minds think alike (j/k) I use the apricot scrub too. I use to use expensive products and they never seemed to make a difference. With the exception of prescriptions i get at the dermatologist.

    I get weird reactions every once and a while and i go back to my old dial soap and it works like a charm.
