Wow, 2 sales pitches. That sucks.I've tried a couple of them. None of them really worked, but i've got worse acne than most. Proactive worked for maybe a month and that was it. Im taking prescriptioon medicaiton and doing better. ------

I use Clean and Clear continuous control acne cleanser. Now, i dont have very much acne, but when something pops up, it usually does the job. You wet your face then rub the product into your skin for 30 seconds (tip: its best to use while in the shower. ) and it gives u a clean, breezy feeling on your face, i love it, and i totally reccommend it ------

clearasil ultra worked good for me. i use it in the shower and before bed. the only downside is that its blue so it doesnt dissapear on your face.proactive worked for a while but not brag worthy after a certain period of time. ------

My sister used to have really bad acne, and we discovered Pro-active. This stuff is endorsed by celebs, so we didn't think it would work, but ever since she used those products she's had clean and clear skin. Good Luck! ------

Acne is a bacteria that needs to be killed. Witch Hazel is also works great.. it is a little smelly, but you can use a cotton ball or wash cloth. It will tke away the oiliness. `Tea Tree Oil will kill out the bacteria or weaken it enough not to bother you. Apply it to the effected areas with a q-tip or cotton ball after you have washed.You should get a good multivitamin(highly suggest) with vitamin a,c,e,d and zinc.. this should help tons! Eating carrots also helps.. there is beta-carotene (Vitamin A) in them which helps prevent acne and repair the skin. Take zinc, zinc is a antibacterial agent. Make sure to dink plenty of water and get good rest at night.Azelaic Acid is a great natural acid that reduces the growth of bacteria, restores the skins cells and reduces inflammation. Try using a topical with Azelaic Acid in it.. it is safe.Also, change/wash your pillow case and sheets every other day.There are ways to put moisture back into your skin and heal it, such as: drinking lots of water, making sure you are eating enough fat/omega-3 oils. Lotions with mineral oil can dry out the skin, use one with out it! Emu Oil ( Emu oil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ) contains vitamin A and E, Sapogens ( makes skin softer), and Oleic acid (a skin cell regenerator, anti-wrinkel agent) - walgreens sells emu oil.. i would think walmart would as well. ------
