  1. how often do you use all of those? like day and night..etc. Be sure to use scrubs only 2-3x a week to give your skin a break. And be careful on moisturizers, a lot of acne is due to too much oil. For the most part cleansers aren’t going to do much for the treatment of acne, they will just remove the dirt. So aim for a gentle cleanser. Some kind of blackhead toner. (either moistened clothe or something you add to a cotton ball.) And then use an acne lotion. Similar to proactiv steps. Benzol peroxide has worked a lot for me compared to salicylic acid.

  2. Ive tried Cetaphil before and it didnt work for me. It’s a little bit too gentle. Try using Oxy products(even though it’s for guys) or other products like Clean n’ Clear, Clearasil. Trust me, Cetaphil wont work fast enough. Hope I helped.!

  3. I use it at night. My derm. Gave me about 4 other products. Go to your dermatologist and they will do wonders for your face like they did mine.

  4. I use cetaphil! I really like it because it is gentle and leaves your skin feeling smooth. It doesn’t really get rid of the acne (so I use another medication) but it keeps your skin really clean which helps in the long run. I would still use the Saint Ives for the black heads, because cetaphil is not a scrub. Try using cetaphil in the morning and at night, but only use the scrub at night. This is what I do :) Good luck!

  5. Cetaphil is great on normal skin, dry skin, sensitive skin and oily and problem skin.

    You say that you have sensitive skin… Cetaphil has no perfumes and therefore does not cause sensitive skin to go red and sore. I use it and it is really nice, it isn’t sticky at all.

    Check out this website. It has details about the product and and section for problematic skin (the link is at the top).
