Okay, I'm in the same boat as you.


I have tried a million different things, and its hard to tell you what will work for YOU, because somethings work AWESOME for some, but crappy for others. I also tried Proactiv, it made my face look awful. It dried it out and caused more acne, I waited it out then finally said forget it. I am getting ready to go to a new dermatologist tomorrow, because nothing has been helping me. I suggest finding a dermatologist in your area, they can prescribe topical gels and oral medication to clear up acne. I wish you the best of luck!
I have researched a lot on this subject. The best I have come up with is a home remedy from Care2.com. I will send you a link there are a couple great recipes that I have tried that work really well.


good luck and please give these home remedies a try.


peace

I use aloe skincare...





When aloe is added to cosmetic products it improves penetration into


the deepest layers of the skin. This means that whatever essential oils or


other nutritive ingredients you have in the formula of your moisturizer would


become more effective. Aloe is also renown for it rejuvenating qualities and


helps against aging of the skin. The bitters of the aloe has been used


traditionally for detoxification of the body and has been found to have anti


viral, anti bacterial and anti-fungal properties.





i recommend Balancing Skincare(Namyang aloe)!


it's is wonderful!! to me...
