well you are an angel! But why do you mention cetaphil anf Jane products... is that from your own experience?

 

[serenade]

I heard Cetaphil is good. It's mentioned on http://www.acne.org
Speaking of which, I bought a tube of 2.5% Benoyl Peroxide the yesterday. Any of you have experiences using this? I still have yet to buy a Cetaphil cleaner and follow with the regime for a week or two, and then I'll post up my results

I use cetaphil and it is really, really good. My sister got really bad acne and the pharmacy told her to use it. Plus you can turn it into an exfoliant by mixing some bi-carb soda with it.

But the main thing i find that works is drinking a cup of warm water with a squeeze of lemon in it every morning. I swear it works!

Has anyone heard of or tried 101E acne gateway?? I read it's apparenlty a miracle worker but I'm a bit skeptical until I hear of someone who it's actually worked for!

 

[serenade]

Thanks, I just bought a 500mL bottle two days ago. I've already noticed some change!!!

 

[Skyla.M]

i must try...also, i like to use Neutrogena Acne Wash...i think thats what it is called, but it works well

I use Neutrogena too, the one in the orange package. LOVE it, works pretty good and it's not too expensive.

Neutrogena made me break out really badly. It's much too harsh for my skin...

I've been using the 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide for almost a month now along with Dalacin T (1%). The results were good, everyone noticed the difference, but I still do have light acne scars on my face. I'm going to my dermatologist in 2 days and I'll ask her if I can use the 5% Benzoyl Peroxide or just use the 2.5% for a longer time.

Ive been using the oxy pads in the afternoon for a week and i broke out sooooo bad!

another thing i experienced... i used to eat 3 oranges a day because i loved them. And as soon as my mom told me they contain acid which might be affecting my skin, i gave them up for just a week. My face has never looked clearer!

I Cetaphil, but sometimes I feel I need a deeper cleaning so I've searched around and tried everything and I finally found a winner! MyChelle Cranberry Cleanser (available at www.MyChelleUSA.com ) I still cleanse with cetaphil everyonce in a while (few times a week or so) but my main cleanser is MyChelle And I use witch hazel and a little bit of triple rosewater (co. bigelow & apothecaries) on a cotton pad as a toner

 

[Carrme]

Garnier pure cleanser (in the blue bottle) was my fav. It made my sking feel cleanse and soft and helped reduce the acne. But now i guess my face is too used to it so im gonna switch to the cetaphil stuff you all swear by lol..

a Q.. if my face isn't that oily,,nor that dry (except after cleaning it) but i do have acne on my cheeks and forhead, does that mean I have Combination skin?

 

[Deleted member 49693]

^ Yes you do have combination skin.

 

[serenade]

Well I've been using Benzac 2.5% and Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser for a week now, and GEEZ - it worked really well. Two or three more weeks and I'll be completely clear, except for some dark marks

 

[igotgoodjeans]

so i wanted to give you guys an update (if anyone cares haha) - ive been using the murad fruit exfoliating mask, peter thomas roth sulfur mask, b. kamins cellular regenerating serum, and then biotherm line peel night creme (yes a lot of products) - and a lot of my blemishes as well as textual acne scar are gone!!! i've been using them in that combination for about a couple of months now - i think they are really helping. i especially think the murad and b. kamins products are really getting the work done. hurray!!!

 

[madem0iselle]

ok i dont know if this is pimple or not ive been getting white small spots...theyre not white theyre not anty color but BUMPY small BUMPS and its only visible under light....whats that? how can i get rid of it? also im getting big pimples beside my nose it hurts so much and its not growing yet but how cn i save it from going red!!!! Cetaphil doesnt seem to work for me =( i dont know...imma try PUREEL alchola hand cleanser to get the bacteria off for now...what do yout hink..?

 

[StrokesFan210]

I was at sharper image the other day and saw this face vacuum device that sucks out blackheads and cleans out pores (I think I also saw it on TV before). I wanted to ask if anyone has tried this thing and if they saw any improvements with their skin after using it? It definitely looks interesting but I am sure that you would need to wash your face (and the device?) before and after using it or bacteria would spread. Anyways if anyone has any personal experience with the device please share. Thanks!

I think I break out because my hormones are messed up and because I inherited my mom's bad liver. *sighs* I don't think there's much I can do about that.

 

[stacyyyy]

^^im starting to think mine is hormones now aswell.theyr not bad but they are noticeable.they just never go away
