I use acne free (you can get it from walmart) twice a day and I use evoclin (over the counter, about $30 for me). Evoclin is a gift from god. I never had bad acne, but I get little breakouts, and with Evoclin, I had no breakouts 2 days after using it. And it continues to work. I never used Clean and Clear because, honestly, you spend about 20 bucks for the same thing. "Works in 8 hours" and stuff like that when I didn't see anything different. And proactiv...HORRIBLE. I breakout really bad with proactiv. It works for some, but not for others. Hope this helps.

nothing will EVER help me

is neutrogena any good?

livelovelaughxoxo · 12-30-2007, 02:29 AM

i also heard of Accutane... idk has anybody tried it?

well..i never use Proactiv before(it's expensive here) so i use Clean and Clear

PLEASE do not use ACCUTANE it does not work only thing it does is burn your skin it messed my hubby up cause they gave it to him for roscea and it does not work...

but i found that works is clean and clear pads and the wash it has helped my daughter and niece both...
also you can ask your doctor about this cream(ACID MANTLE) you apply it right before bedtime and it helps to especially with the blackheads...
the acid mantle is for daily use even if you have no break out. but before you use it you need to wash your face with warm soapy water

I use St. Ives Apricot Face Scrub (though i heard it may be 2 rough for the sensitive skin)
then follow it up with Clean & Clear Oil-Free Foaming Facial Cleanser.
But I take a pill that does all the work its called "tetracycline"

I do have Pro-Activ but the problem with me is that im not consistent with it,

I use Practiv and my face looks better than ever! and Neutrogena works good too but I would use Proactiv.

kennys_beach_bum · 12-30-2007, 04:28 PM

I use Proactiv... It works REALLY good! My face looks a lot better than it did before...

I use Clean & Clear and my face cleared up in like 3 or 4 days. It REALLY works.

proactive works for me too.
&i know walmart&possibly target, sells an off brand of it called ACNEFREE. it's like the same thing as proactive.
