What products work good for acne?

Question

I want to get rid of my acne before school starts which is in a little more than 2 weeks. Right now I'm using Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Therapy System and it hasn't worked for me.

I have really oily skin, and not serious acne but a lot of pimple and blackheads. What do you think will work for me skin type?

I need something that is available at a drugstore or somewhere like Target.

Answer 1

I used to have the same problem I have combination skin (oily around the nose,chin and forehead,but cheeks are typically dry) the best thing i can say to do,If you want to spend a lot of money,get Murad. It's expensive,but it's worth it for the time that it works. After a long period of time your skin kinda becomes immune to the stuff.So I went to a dermatologist,and the prescriptions he gave me were actually cheaper than the whole murad system with my insurance,so if you have insurance i would definetly reccommend seeing a dermatologist,it's not the quickest process,but it's the best you can do because he can completely customize the process,products,and dosage you need for your skin type. But i guess if you're looking for something at target try the wave,the little pads didn't work too well for me but i bought the dry cotton ones that you can find at any drugstore and put my own perscription on them onto the wave it works very well.

Answer 3

I didn't like neutrogena either, it dried out my skin.

Clean & Clear works well, but not the most effective

St. Ives Apricot scrub worked a while, then it stopped working

I found that rubbing the inside of the leaf from an aloe vera plant helped a lot

Please tell me what other products you've tried, and how well they worked for you!
