This is what Ive been using for the past 2 months....
Avons Clearskin medicated cleansing wash,and avon clearskin cleansing lotion(which is an astringent,ive been using it 2-3 times a day..its very very gentle on my skin) and sometimes I use the clearskin anti-shine treatment,which is a lotion,and it stops the shine and helps to treat the acne.
All of these products are gently to my face,meaning, no burning,no drying out,(which i thought would happen)...
I just looked in the mirror this morning,and actually saw a normal person,sorta....(i hate looking at my face) the redness is alot better,and i really dont see any prominant acne,but not a clear clear skin either...
(ive suffered from acne from age 10,and it never never has gone away...)
medicated gel wash: 2.0% salicylic acid
medicated astringent(cleansing lotion): 2.0% salicylic acid
anti-shine: .05% salicylic acid
my doctor also said that benzoyl peroxide,like oxy 5 or 10,works well, but im gonna see how this avon works first..
I have tried things like retin-a as a kid,but it just dried me out bad.
and i dont want to do accutane,i heard it causes bad birth defects,and can make you severly depressed...
what have you all used,over the counter,that works well???
