Hey everybody! Since I have had such good luck with my new face wash, I thought I would share...

I have had moderate, hormonal acne for years..... I wasn't having much luck clearing it up, so my doctor recommended Glytone Mild Gel Wash and let me tell you....it has been a life saver! I'm on my third bottle now and I'm still loving it! I use it on my face and body...it really keeps my hormonal acne under control and it has a mild exfoliating agent in it so it makes your skin look and feel smooth while it helps heal and prevent breakouts.

Hope this helps someone!!

Serious Skin Care glycolic cleanser has been a miracle for me. I would suspect it works similar to the glytone

Hi ladies, I have very bad acne due to the PCOS, the best cleanser ever is "MD Forte II" you can only get it from the dermatologist but it is so worth it. I have tried everything (neutrogena, cetaphil etc) and this stuff is awesome!

I use Philosophy's Purity and the Murad skin care system. I am really seeing a difference. I will keep this in mind though. Thanks!

I have tried prescription pills and topicals. Tried many over the counter topicals as well.

What is working for me so far....which it hasnt been too long since I have been doing this....

I am on Nuva Ring (for a different reason than acne) which seems to finally be helping my hormonal acne a bit now too. Been on it since November 07. I also started using new face washes. Every morning I use the St. Ives Microdermabrasion Scrub (is new). Then I use a Salicylic Acid bar soap from brand Oxy. It is an Alpine scent. I lather it on my face and massage it for about a minute or two and wash it off. Then I take an Oxy Cleanser. It used to be called chill factor. It is in a black bottle and 10% bp. I massage this on my face and leave on for about 10 minutes or so. No longer than 15. Then I wash that off as well. Normally I am allergic to bp, however, I think washing it off helps. It doesnt just sit on your skin irritating it. BP is supposed to be completely absorbed into your skin and working in the first 10-15 minutes anyway. Any longer causes irritation. After all the cleansing, I put on Dr. Brandt poreless gel. It has salicylic acid in it as well. Then I move on to my regular makeup routine. It seems to be helping a ton. I usually get those nasty cystic acne around my chin and lower cheek areas. This has really reduced the size and inflammation. I have really noticed my previous scarring improving as well. I do the same routine at night.

Not saying would work for everyone and yes I still get breakouts. But not as severe or as long it seems. Here's to hoping this is a winner.

I have tried Proactive, Murade and all the store brands. The only (2) lines that have worked for my cystic acne are Dr. Patricia Wexler's acne line that I purchased at Bath & Body Works and what I am currently using, Serious Skin Care for Adult Acne from HSN.

I have tried everything as well, Proactive, Neutragena, Clearasil, the works! my bathroom could be the skin care aisle in Wal-Mart! haha! but i agree, MD Forte is the ONLY thing that works for me too, and even when i dont wash my face for 2 days i see the difference. it is hard sumtimes to find products that work on ethnic skin, but this works very well! it contains glycolic acid which is wat i believe makes it work so well. I first got it from my derma, but have found that i can get it on online too. if ne1 wants the website lemme kno.

I have finally found products that actually work! I purchased the Continuously Clear Adult Regimen Starter Kit from HSN. Then I added the Serious Skin Care A-Copper Peptide Duo; Copper Oil Control Serum and Cream. These products balance out my skin perfectly. I am so happy to have products that will hydrate my skin without causing breakouts and control the oil.

I have used the Aqua Glycolic in the past and my husband said he could see a difference. My skin got dry(thanks to my thyroid) and I stopped using it. My dermatologist uses it and recommended it. You can order it online or have your pharmacist order it. I think it's about ten dollars a bottle.

I use Clenia foaming wash...it's the only thing that works for me. My skin is soooooo much better.

My favorite is Aveeno's foaming cleansar for acne prone skin. Just one pump is enough and the bottle lasts forever, plus i really feel it works and doesn't aggravate my skin more (i've tried clean and clear, proactive, neutro, etc etc etc)
