Help please my face is breaking out bad, I
am going to be starting soon, so that
might be why, but does anyone have any
suggestions on over the counter clensing
things that might help. I used to use
proactive but I dont have the money to use
it anymore. I hope I can find something
that works as good thank you girls
love ya

I went to the doc and he gave me a
perscription(sp?) but it didnt work lol
but otherwise id say just use face wash or
nuetrogena stuff? Does that proactive
stuff work? Ryan and I wanted to order
some but we didnt know if it was all just
a big hoax or anything

If you want a really cheap way, my friend
who used to break out really bad just used
hydrogen peroxide and it worked really
well on him! I have extremely sensitive
skin, so everything I use makes me break
out more!

I use neutrogena oil free acne wash and
clean and clear blackhead clearing
astringent. Works wonders for me! I also
do a mint julep mask every once in a
while.

I use all this avon crap that my mom
orders, it works really well, and if I use
any other brand it'll mess up my face.
But I haven't been breaking out lately,
only when I touch my face and theres
grease on my hands or something.

hydrgoen peroxide is really really bad for
you! You should never ever put hydrogen
peroxide on any open cuts, zits etc on
your face because it makes them scare a
ton! It'll dry em out quick, but they
scar!
My mom went to beauty school for a few
years.. When she was a normal human.. So
she used to always tell me about that
hydrogen peroxide no no.
Oh and-- kinda off subject, but I got
hydrogen peroxide in my eyes this summer
and ended up with really bad chemical
burns in them and permanent damage. So be
careful! Haha

Yes, you can use it as an anti septic, on
cuts on other parts of your body are
generally fine, but your face will scar.

I love proactiv, it works really well, but
it is expensive. Since i've been
pregnant my skin is really sensitive and
the harsher the soap and astringent I use,
the more my face breaks out.
Right now all I use is noxema and witch
hazel. There's this clean and clear soap
that works really well. I'm not sure
what it's called but it's not the one with
the microbeads. It comes in a dark
purple tube. It works really well.

afterwards....

I dont have acne, and never did, so I dont
know what to tell you!!!!
My sister uses proactive and she loves
it.
There's this facial cleanser (im not sure
of the brand) but its in a orange tube.
When you put water on it, it gets very
very warm, and then you massage it into
your face, and then rinse with cool water.
The warming of it opens up your pores,
and cleans them out, but you .H.A.V.E to
use cool water to rinse so that your pores
close back up.
I have it somewhere in my house, i'll go
look for it and tell you the brand. I
know its like $3 from walmart.

I wouldn't use neosporin or rubbing
alcohol. Rubbing alcohol overdries your
skin, so it actually makes it produce more
oil that could cause breakouts. Even if
you use moisturizer afterwards, I still
wouldn't personally reccomend it. And
nneosporin, well, yeah, I just think that
would cause you to break out more from
greasiness.
I just started using revitalift
(anti-aging cream) and it's actually a
great moisturizer.

While neosporin and neutrogena never
worked for me, when I would use otc
products I would use something without a
strong benzole peroxide % only because my
face is really sensitive and the stronger
ones make my skin dry out and tear real
bad! My face is still clearing up now
but I am using these swiss products from
arbonne and they seem to be working.
