any suggestions?
a good on-the-spot acne treatment (preferably containing benzoyl peroxide) and a moisturizer (oil-free and helps minimize tinyy pimples)
Ps. I just finished by clindoxyl gel and it worked really well but it was expensive so please recommend products less that , can be found in toronto and works to minimize acne.. not very harsh please i don't want to aggravate my mild acne and make it severe. thank you
neutrogena, clean and clear, clearisil, acnefree... work?
alchohol meaning rubbing alchohol or regular?

Believe it or not, alcohol!
I have always had clear skin, until I got pregnant, after my daughter was born, my acne continued!
I have tried everything from clean & Clear, neutrogena, noxema, clearasil, and even proactive. Some worked, some didn’t, and it is all expensive. I have super sensitive skin, so bad that noxema literally ate the skin off my nose!
So, my mother in-law told me to use straight alcohol at night before bed and in the morning when I wake up!
My first reaction was that it would dry my skin out, and be worse than my noxema experience, but you know what?
In less than a week, my acne was gone, and I have only had the occasional blemish since (3 yrs ago!)
The best part is that a bottle of alcohol costs about 50cents!
Don’t knock it til you try it! It really does work! What do you have to lose?

Neutrogena works. So does St. Ives. Or else try Neutragenas "on the spot" acne treatment.

I use a product that i got at walmart called Stress-Free Acne Control. It works so good and its like $7. if you can find it try it, cause it really really works, I’m not sure what brand it is but if you want to know just email me and i’ll look for you. k?

Clean and clear has a really good moisturizer line. I use the shine control one and it works great! I use Neutragena exfoiliating cleanser too!

I have found that two very unique products work AMAZING. They are both fairly inexpensive, and also include 6 month money back gaurentees, in case they do not work (an added plus, so why not try them?!)
One is a pill, and one is a face wash.
The pill is called Acnezine, Acnezine treats inflammation, reduces redness, and removes puss, spots, pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads. It works really well for me, and I think it is definitely worth giving a try.
The face wash is called ClearPores. It is 100% natural, so it won’t irritate your skin, which is nice. It gets rid of whatever the Acnezine doesn’t, and can be used as a spot treatment overnight.
Hope this helps, good luck with your acne :)

i use the neutrogena wave and I LOVE IT! nothing ive ever used worked this amazingly great on my face before. it really got rid of all the dead skin & left my face, softer, smoother, & clearer after the first use and within a week over half of my acne was gone. it gets done deep into my pores to get rid of blackheads and pimples and prevent future breakouts. ive been using this for about 3 weeks and its got rid of nearly all my acne and i havent a new breakout since. the best part is it dont dry out my face really bad like all other products do. i love it incredibly much! its amazing and i would highly recomend it to anyone. its only about $10 at your local drug or dept. store, it comes with 14 pads & you can buy a pack of 30 refills for around $6. i follow up with the neutrogena oil free face moisterizer for sensitive skin. its oil free so it wont clog your pores & you can wear it under makeup without your face peeling, its only about $8. good luck and hope i could help =)
