I've had acne for about 10 years now. Unfortunately I currently don't have medical insurance and I am wondering if anyone has suggestions for cleansers or creams.
I have tried Tetracycline, Minocycline, and birth control pills but none of which completely remedied it. In fact, all of those pills made me feel strange, like I was depressed. I hated that feeling.
I've also noticed I break out when I use scented soaps. I developed a rash on my chest and back, and even a little on my neck.
I've stopped using Neutrogena because I think it was burning my face. I'm using St. Ives, and it works great so far.

Does anyone know of any products I could use that are suitable for my sensitive skin?

" Don't keep switching over your acne creams too often. This would aggrevate your acne problems. Stick on to one atleast for 6 months before you try the next. Retin-A Generic is very effective to treat and control acnes. But take care to avoid going out when the sun is too bright. "

" Accutane is available with many stores and pharmacies online. I suggest you to purchase from an online pharmacy or store which can guide you with the duration on taking the medication. http://www.pro-medics.com/retin-a/ is one such online source where their specialist doctors would advise you with online chat support, toll free phone support and email support "
