Does this sound like a good skincare regimen?
STEP 1- St. Ives Apricot Scrub with Blemish and Blackhead Control with 2% salicylic acid
STEP 2- Clean and Clear 3 in 1 Foaming Cleanser with 2% salicylic acid
STEP 3- Clean and Clear 10% Benzoyl Peroxide acne spot treatment
do you like the products in my regimen?
will this help my acne?
do you think if i do this morning and night my skin will be clear by september 15? (graduation pics are that day)
PLEASEEEEEEEEEE let me know if there are any other better products that you like. i know everyones skin is different, but i would still like to know.
thanks!

i realyl like clean and clear, but im not sure about the apricot scrub stuff, because your not soposed to mix differnt types.
i use
clean and clear continuous control acne wash
black head clearing astringent, clean and clear
and morning glow moisturizer clean and clear
i also found that proactive solutions worked really good, but its a little expensive.
good luck!

That stuff will do nothing for your skin,
Im just being honnest.
The only thing that will work is going to a dermatologist.
You can waste your money on all that grocery store crap, but it will never work.
Acne is a medical conditon, and needs medical attention to heal it.

I’m sorry, but thats really hard to answer. Everyones skin is different. If I were you I would just use the Clean and Clear Cleanser and Spot Treatment. And anyway, if your skin doesn’t clear up by September 15, you can always use makeup.
Good luck!

You Should Use The Foaming Cleanser Daily And The Scrub 2 times a Week.
The Scrub Could Irritate Your Skin.
May be You Should Use A Salicylic Acid Spot Treatment.

No that to much your skin will dry up then your skin will start peeling.
Once a week you need to use an exfoliator. Stop using St. Ives that won’t work for acne. Try finding something that has more salicylic acid. Salicylic acid gets rid of the acne.

I don’t think you should use the scrub with the cleanser as it can make your skin dry. And the 10% Benzoyl Peroxide is another factor that will make your skin dry. I use Clearisil’s Vanishing Treatment Cream BP plus, and its a very good product with enough Benzoyl Peroxide. But if you are going to use Clean and Clear acne spot treatment be sure to moisturize.
Products I would reccomend:
Spectro gel cleanser
Cetaphil cleansing bar
Euracin Skin Renewal Day lotion, SPF 15
