Never really had bad acne growing up, but I do have very senstive skin and these things really help my maintain skin clarity and smoothness.
- Papaya enzyme mask by Alba Botanica (You can get this at Target or Whole Foods). It's good for exfoaliation, but doesn't irritate the skin likemechanical exfoliation
- Vitamin C serum. This gives the skin a nice glow and helps my skin look smooth. These can be pretty expensive though
- I just use a basic Neutrogena face wash and moisturizer. Too much fancy stuff can lead to irritation.
You just have to find what works for you though. If you have problems with blackheads, you should try something with BHA. The key though is to find one withthe proper pH level. Neutrogena has a 3 in 1 moisturizer and a Pore Refining Toner that contain BHA with the proper pH. If BHAs don't work for you then youcan try a product with AHA's, which is a chemical exfoliator, like BHA. AHA can also help with redness and scars left over from the previous breakouts. Iknow this is kind of girly, but there is a website called makeupalley.com and it has a messageboard with tons of information and product reviews as well.
Sorry if that was too long...I'm just really into skincare.

Your right. My derm wouldnt give it to me so i went to another and she straight up asked me what i wanted and i told her and she wrote the perscription. Ididnt have it bad like your suppose to , to get it but i had mild acne here and there for 5 years and i got tired of it. But this is my third month on it andim completely clear and have been for weeks. It is a serious drug though.

I use neutrogena rapid clear pads and a random face wash. The neutrogena rapid clear pads are so good. They're the only ones that seem to work for me so ifyou're having trouble trying to find something that works you should give that a shot. I tried everything and nothing got rid of my pimples so fast

Proactiv works for me. I get mines off of Ebay. It works for me, and it got rid of the dark spots on my face.

you have a Digestion issue. Its not whats on the outside. its happening from your inside. Are you doing #2, 3 times a day? now you know why. you have to cleanthe dermis of your skin and its just a reflection of whats going on inside your body.
