haven't been here in a while but i wanted to share that for the past 6 months or so i've been using st.ives anti-blackhead/blemish scrub everyday (twice a day), and it's been amazing! i know that you're 'not supposed to' use an exfoliant everyday but because my skin is quite oily i think it actually did wonders for my skin. it has 2% salicylic acid in it. i haven't gotten those painful cystic pimples in ages! and it's only like $6

^I think I used superdrugs tea tea cleasner or something. But I've never found any thing like that to work for me. Apart from a cheap and cheerful blackhead cleanser from Boots,I love that,I think it is one of the only products I've noticed a difference with.

Since spearmint tea makes androgen (the hormone that causes acne) inactive, it should work to prevent it.

Peppermint tea will not work because it is not the same plant and does not have the same qualities.

Does this not work with guys then?

Gah my skin has gone horrid again, just as it was starting to improve

I suggest get tea tree oil and dab it on to your skin. It can stink a little but it can help with break outs.

Just make sure you dilute it a little bit.

Don't use too much or you will make your face really dry.

uh I hate tea tree oil smell! and lots of skin porducts for problem skin are with tea tree oil and I have to stand it
applying essential tea tree oil does nothing to me though

 

[Liberty Belle]

Thanks CaitlinC, i'll give it a go
