Default Just thought i would let you know what i use, and it works.

I use the Wal-Mart brand of Proactiv. It's called Acne Free. It works really well and they also have a peel that helps with old acne scars. Now i don't just use the Acne Free, i have experimented and found a routine that works great for me. In the morning in the shower i use St. Ives Apricot Scrub Medicated(I don't do this every morning cuz it makes my skin sensative probably every other day), i also purchased a Nutragena(sp?) Wave which is this little vibrating thingy with a pad that foams up (can be used in the shower, and i do use this every day). The foam tingles and the vibrations feels awesome and actually stimulate colegen production which really firms your skin. To finish in the shower i use the Acne Free cleanser and then the toner and lotion when im out of the shower. At night i just use the Acne Free. I will warn you though, you will need to sleep with a pillowcase you don't mind bleaching cuz the peroxide with bleach any fabric it touches. Make sure you wash your hands before wiping them anywhere. I hope this helps someone.

I just had to say that i started using the netrogena wave two weeks ago, and I love it. I usually have blackheads on my nose and down between my nose and lips. Since i have been using the wave, the blackheads are gone. Its so easy to use, I use mine in the shower. I wish this had been out for years.

This is so good to know. My MD has not diagnosed me as PCOS (says I have unexplained infertility) BUT I am putting two and two together and truly I think I have it. After this cycle I am going to an RE who will hopefully diagnose me as having something.

This acne problem is killing me. I just left the "Pee on the face for acne" thread, uh I don't think so!!!!
