I'd love to hear what other people are using to keep their acne at bay.  What products do you use, what products are you thinking about trying?
My List:
Acne Flare-Ups/Maitenance
-Jan Marini Benzoyl Peroxide Wash and Topical
-Jan Marini Bioclear
-Jan Marini Bioglycolic Cleanser
-Guinot Hydra Tendre Wash
-Guinot Moisturizer
Healing Acne Scabs:
-Skin Biology CP Serum
Acne Scar:
-Just bought a dermaroller 1ml....will see how that works...
I want to try out an antioxidant but not sure what is a good brand. I hear Mychelle is pretty good as well as Paula's. |

I like Paula's Choice One Step cleanser and healthy skin toner, and her 2% BHA lotion (the liquid is sooo drying). I also like her 2.5% BP blemish solution. I tried her super mattifying antioxidant concentrate. I suspected it made me break out, so I just tried using it around my eye area as her website recommened and viola two days later a whopping pimple on my eyelid. I was psyched. I sent that one right back. Thank god she has a 60 day return policy.
I've also just tried iQ Derma Clear Remedy. So far, I am very happy. But the premise is the same gentle cleanser, 2% bha, 2.5 bp, and light moisturizer.
I also like decleor essential balm for when I start to get really dry in winter. not sure how it keeps acne at bay but i like it. |

| I am currently using the 302 skincare line and am having better results than with prescriptions. My skin is currently clear and it hasn't been in a few years. |

| I like products with salicic or glycolic acid. Try bare vitamins by ID bareminerals. Apply right aftercleansing and under moisturzier. |

| Best bath store acne gel, honey, zinc oxide, and vitamin A is what works best for me. For the vitamin A I'm currently using the 302 A boost and Viterol A (will repurchase the viterol A). You can also experiment with using niacinamide and turmeric. |

| For me the best thing I have found is called Buzz on Acne. It is a new product but I learned about it from a friend and it works great. It is a twice daily spray on without BP. |

| I recommend 2% BHA liquid of Paula's choice. My acne and my skin is better from this product. It's very effective and the price is reasonable. |

| The MD Forte Glycare is great for keeping skin clear and giving great exfoliation. I'm starting Super CP serum by skin biology and hope for some results on my acne scars. Any success stories, also tell me more about this dermaroller... |

| I got a gift from a friend. It was a soap made from Chitosan. I tried the soap and it really does keep the acne away. I've been using it for 3 weeks. I am happy with it. |

I recommend you to use lavender essential oil. I have used it for a few months, twice a day, it does works on the acne scar  |

You know I think it works! At first I was scared because I bought the 1mm one to start off but after I got used to the pain (haha), and I put my lightening serums, moisturizer, etc... My skin is a lot lighter! I just rolled in several directions one time, waited a few seconds, and did it again. |

Just to add what I think are the best products for acne sufferers are the following:
Prescription retinol and maybe Skinceutical retinol
JB Full Strength Green Apple Peel
Wheat germ or omega oil with lavender in it
Cle de Peau concealer (make-up)
Cetaphil mixed with Baking soda
Clarisonic
KS scrub |

Have you ever go to see a doctor for your acne?
I went to see doctors few time. Finally, I got a really great prescription cream which named "Clindoxyl". It works really good on my acne. After use one week, my BF told me that my acne is much much better.
Go to any walk in clinic and ask advice from them. |

| Definitely Paula's Choic 2% BHA, liquid form and blemish fighting solution over that. Sometimes I'll use Carley's Clear n'Smooth which is also very good. |

BHA for daily use to keep pores clean, bp for spot treatment.
Since I've been on minocycline for 2 mos, my pores are 100% clear, not one zit of any kind, less oily overall. I'm actually afraid of going off it  |
