This can include systems, cleansers, spot treatments, anything that really helped to clear up your skin! Mine would have to be proactiv..it wasn't great but it helped better than other products i've used and i also like mario badecu's masks..they clear my skin quickly! So, what are your own favs??

 
  • Fresh Soy Formula f21c Face Cleanser/Makeup Remover
  • Proactiv
  • Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2
  • Clinique Acne Solutions Spot Healing Gel
  • Neutrogena Blackhead Eliminating Treatment Mask
  • Neutrogena Acne Solutions Acne Mark Fading Peel
  • Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque
  • Biore Self-Heating Mask
  • Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips (combo pack)
That's all I can think of for now.
 
Retin-a worked wonders for me...that is after the first two months of looking like a shedding snake. ugh. but thankfully I started using it during the summer. it was really drying though, and once I accidently put it near the corner of my mouth and it peeled the sensitive skin right off! it looked terrible and felt even worse.

also ortho tricylne lo cleared me up pretty dramatically.

 
Differin is working great for me-minus the burning and sensitive skin-I have tried other Px products and they just didn't work. I also like Spectro Acne Care vanishing lotion for sensitive skin(2.5%)

 
I have oily skin prone to clogged pores (not true acne, which requires the presence of a certain bacteria -- but I do think I get some acne in amongst the clogged pores!). The best prescription I tried was Tazorac -- Differin also worked fairly well but not quite as good as Tazorac. The best OTC product I've tried is Neutrogenia On-The-Spot acne treatment -- it has 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, which is just as effective as 10% (which most benzoyl peroxide creams in the drugstores have) but is much less drying for your skin!

It doesn't seem to matter what cleansers or masks or other products I use, just as long as I use the BP or Tazorac!

 
I have a wierd problem where once acne treatment will work very well...but if I use it contnuously, it stops having any effect on me!

Same thing happened with Differin and Clean and Clear Acne treatment gel!
