Acne Support Group

I HAVE TRIED EVERY THING THAT IS SOLD OVER THE COUNTER FROM MURAD (THE WHOLE LINE TOO)WHICH WAS RECCOMNDED FROM A FACIALIST TO CLEAN N CLEAR NOXEMIA YOU NAME IT AND WHAT WORKS FOR ME IS NETUOGINA (BAD SPELLER!) EVERYTHING THEY MAKE WORKS FOR ME FROM THE BODY WASH TO THE WHOLE LINE OF PRODUCTS BUT I FIND THE BEST IS THE BAR FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN. ITS LIKE 3$ AND WORKS WONDERS FOR ME I ALSO USE A FACE MASK FROM THEM LIKE EVERY 2-3 DAYS. HOPE THIS HELPS YA.

I too tried everything I could over the counter, either no effect, or dried me out. The only thing I use now is Rosula aqueous cleanser, it is prescription and works great.

I used to use proactiv but it doesn't work at all!! and i was so hoping it would from all the commercials and whatever, but it doesnt. so i still dont know what to use now. i've tried everything thing and it still doesnt work. im gonna try what other people recommended though :]

I just got it in the mail its called "exposed acne treatment system" its gauranteed for a year and they have some other things that make it look like it may work. Ive done proactive, but this stuff promises clear skin mines never been clear.

We'll see if this does it!

I use Peter Thomas Roth. I've been trying things like Philosophy and Bare Minerals (they have a new face wash), which helped because I'm allergic to most everything else or it just makes me break out more. But I went into Sephora a few weeks ago, and the representative from the company was there and let me know what to use. So i use the chamomile cleansing wash at night, and the anti-aging wash in the morning (i'm 20, so i don't use it for that - it's good for acne too), along with the exfoliator a couple times because i have the habit of picking at my face. It seems to be helping, and if there's a Sephora near you, anything you try there (whether it be Murad or whatever else), there's a 2 week guarantee. if you don't see a difference in 2 weeks, you can return it for a full refund. It's expensive, but so far it's been worth it. My face is getting significantly better.

Used Neutrogena for a while (worked very well) but I had to switch to something Natural (doctors orders) since I am now on accutane. I am currently using Tea Tree oil facial wash - actually the entire line of tea tree oil products available from a store called "the body shop". Good luck.

I have Hyperthyroidism (Graves Disease) which cause dry flakyness to my skin my dermo suggested using Eurcerin w/ Alpha Hydroxy (Its a a very thick lotion so I use it at night) But it works wonders. about $10 or $12 bucks huge pump

Mary Kay Time-wise 3 in 1 cleanser. It has nothing for acne in it so it doesn't dry out my skin. I use separate acne cream and it seems to work better that way as I have super sensitive skin. Oh and I also use mary kay moisturizer.

I use Uriage facial cleanser for oily skin. I also used Eucerin for acne prone skin, which was better.
Avene is also good.

Ive had bad luck with most facial soaps. Read my topic called trial and error. Proactiv worked a while but after a few months of use it stopped.
