What can I use to prevent acne, besides proactive?

Question

I've used proactive for a few years now, I just don't want to rely on proactive and try something different that will make my face acne free. A product that has extremely worked please.

Answer 1

you could use toothpaste its so much cheaper.you could also Start by adopting a good basic cleansing routine. Even though acne is not caused by poor hygiene, it is important to use a wash cloth or another material that will help exfoliate. This is because excess skin cells can contribute to acne. Twice a day should be plenty, and be sure to stay away from oil based moisturizers.

Answer 8

If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to Proactiv, Walgreens carries a brand that has all the same ingredients for half the price: Klear Action

Answer 9

Go to a clinique conter!  They ask you quewstions about your skin and make a customized regimen.  I had really bad acne, proactiv didnt work for me (i used it for a year).  After using clinique 3 step and their spot treatment for a month, my skin was almost clear.  Now i get compliments all the time!  Another plus is that it lasts long, 6 months for me.  And it only costs about 60$, that 10$ a month. Cheaper than proactiv

Answer 10

You are right to switch products, they often loose their effectiveness if overused. Try something with salicylic acid. Buy the Book or audio book from amazon "The Acne Prescription" by Dr. Perricone.

Answer 11

A friend of mine uses green tea soap and swears by it. Also, I've heard great things about Biore nighttime renewal cream.

Answer 12

if your looking for good products to help get rid of your pores then i would suggest the neutrogena wave it gets rid of blemishes fast while relaxing u with its vibration!!!! but if your not looking 4 stuff to buy then the best thing to do is drink lots of water. the water will work as a cleanser and get rid of the greasy oils locked in your skin. also make sure to wash your face every night!!!

Answer 13

Acne wash in an orange bottle. I think neutragena makes it. It helped me in several days,.  

Answer 14

Answer 15

if you really mean to prevent acne (assuming that you don't have it already), usually  staying away from too much sugar and washing you face regularly will keep acne away

Answer 17

Answer 18

I heard that Neutrogena can always be trusted. However, it really depends on what skin type you have. You should go on makeupalley.com to look up what has worked for people with similar skin types such as yours. I heard that you have to be careful after using proactive. People that have been on that product and stopped for a while and tried to use it again found that it didn't work for them anymore.
