Answer 1

Well i used to us ARBONNE ADVANTAGE but my body just sort of created a immunity for itt. so what i use now are three things from one line of acne killers and one thing from another one.

1. OXY FACIAL SCRUB MAXIMUM... this is a great acne wash for reducing redness in acne and decreasing the size of them noticably

2. OXY FACIAL PADS CLEAR MAXIMUM.. what these do are after you wash your face with the scrub this soothes your face and brings a cooling sensation.. pluss these are great for oily faces becuse they wipe away the oil.. and they create a sort of shield so that no bacteria can get inside of your pores.

3. OXY VANISHING LOTION MAXIMUM.. this is one of my favorite things. what this does is it cleans your pores out so that more that 99.99% of the bacteria is out of them.. then you cann just put it one your pimples as sort of a mask for about ten minutes then wash it off and the size, color and roundness of your pimples should be more than halfway gone

4. CLEAN AND CLEAR PERSAGEL..thi is by far my favorite thing.. this totally erases all of your pimples. you just put it on before you go to sleep kind of as a mask and the next morning when u wake up our acne should be totally gone. also if you are conserned that your coverup is going to clog your pores then just right before you apply your coverup use this as alotion and rub it all over yourface thenn just apply your coverup as iff nothijng is there. it will help fit acne. plus since it is pretty thicke it will coverup your pimples noticably

all of the following things that i just listed up there i bought at my local grocery store for under 5$ each..

these are all awesoem things to treat your face with!! im so glad that i coukd help!!!

Answer 2

Pro-active all the way!!!!!

Sometimes I get lazy and stop, but then my face looks terrible...

If you do get it, dont get lazy and stop...please!!!!

Answer 3

i actually wouldn't recommend proactive.

i have been using the neutrogena system for about three weeks and it has really cleared up my skin.

First you use the skin polishing acne cleanser and then you use the overnight acne control lotion (only at night), let it dry and then use the spf 15 oil free lotion so your face doesn't dry out.

as long as you're consistent in washing your face twice a day your skin should start to show results in just four days.

proactive actually gives you a breakout the first time you use it so i strongly reccomend the neutrogen system.

Answer 5

I have been dealing with acne for awhile, and have tried just about everything. Proactive does work but your skin becomes dependent with it and you MUST continue using it. I started going to a Dermatologist and she started me on Retin A cream to use before I go to bed. The cleanser that I use is Oxy face wash with benzoyl peroxide. That system works well with me, plus the Retin A erases any signs of scars. With anything it involves repetition it usually takes 4 to 6 weeks to see results. Good Luck!!!

Answer 6

i tried proactiv, it worked but it wasn't really effective, didnt clear up my skin completely. if you can afford it try goin to a dermotologist. if not, maybe try proactiv.

Answer 7

i use a lot  

i use a deep cleanser/make up remover every night

i use clean and clear blackhead scrub one night a week

i use stridex cleansing pads and that gel stuff that comes i a duo they are awesome i use them everymorning

Answer 8

PROACTIVE is the fastest working product I've ever used. Most effective too

STAY AWAY form Neutrogena products!

HOME REMEDY: At night, wash your face with regular soap. cut a lemon in half and use a half to rub on your face (avoid eyes). Let it sit for about 5 minutes and rinse. TRUST ME. this  actually works. don't do it in the daytime, it will dry out your skin too much.

Answer 9

soap... it works just as well as all the fancy things... lol... seriously i think it like dries your skin out so you dont have the oily thing that causes spots, give it a go

Answer 10

Clean and Clear Advantage Acne Kit, does just as good if better than pro-active. ;)

Answer 11

i use the clearasil daily facial scrub followed by the pore cleansing pads. i also heard clean and clear morning burst works well. also, make sure your moisturizer isn't clogging your pores. give your skin a break from coverup one day out of the week

Answer 12

You should go with Proactive  

Answer 13

http://acne.org/

That website has given more information than I could have ever asked for on acne.  You will get ratings from hundreds of people on all of the acne products out there & will be able to better find which would be compatible with you.  Just browse around & you will find a wealth of information.

There are also videos on treating your face.

I have used Proactiv in the past & it has been successful for me... but has different effects with different skin types.

Also - taking vitamins & drinking lots of water helps :)
