I too have had bad skin. Actually it really makes me mad because during middle school and early high school when everyone else was breaking out from puberty my skin was beautiful and perfectly flawless at all times (well maybe like 1 unnoticable pimple a month or so). Then all of a sudden everyone else's faces cleared up and mine was crazy!! ...and it's been crazy ever since.

The one thing I did notice that has helped for me was Yaz. I took it for solely 2 months (the only BCP's I've EVER used in my life...and just took it to try to regulate). When I was on it, my skin slowly cleared right up. I've been off Yaz for nearly 2 months (one of MY cycles) and my skin has stayed relatively clear. I do have a few more now, but AF just started today...and they're definitely less noticable than before).

I have not found a product that I really like either for a cleanser. I DO really like Olay Definity "highly defined anti-aging intense hydrating cream." It made my skin so bright and flawless looking. I LOVED it. Thing is, it's like $30/1.7 oz (if I remember correctly) and I went through it rather quickly (had gotten it as a sample/present in a large gift package). I'm usually not one to go out and purchase $30 make-up/creams/beauty products, but I honestly liked this one so much that I'm seriously considering it.

Just thought I'd share my experiences.
