I’ve tried lots of face-washing systems to get rid of my acne but none of them have worked very well. What’s a product you KNOW works to get rid of acne and keeps it off? Also, it can’t be outrageously expensive like Clinique or something.

Here are just a few tips to help with your quest to beat acne:
1. Clean your skin regularly with a good cleanser to keep your pores clear and avoid oil and dirt clogging them.
2. Do not squeeze your pimples, by squeezing them you can spread the bacteria over other parts of your skin causing more pimples.
3. Eat a good balanced diet, a healthy diet will go a long way to keeping your skin clear.
4. Drink lots of water which will hydrate your skin and flush out the impurities.
5. Sometimes stress can’t be avoided, but you can make some changes so that you deal with stress more effectively.
These are just a few tips that can be followed quite easily and will really go a long way in your battle with your acne.
A healthy lifestyle is the key ingredient to healthy skin!
Take care…

if you can get an indian product, try "safi"….trust me, that has worked very well. its a syrup containng many herbs, no side effects. it purifies your blood. i ve noticed, although not mentioned on label, it has helped me to relieve pain of periods. i dnt get that much cramps since im using tht and no mre breakouts. its a kind of miracle for me.
the only thing that ever worked for me was zinc 50 mg (like the mineral)in a capsule wash your face everyday and night and take it in the morning on a FULL stomach or you’ll barf.
I have found some good tips in following link, It may be good for you too

GOOD LUCK!!!
RECOMMENDED SKIN CARE…I use clean and clear cream wash (good for sensitive skin or those that dry to easy) or Neutrogena clear skin make up remover wash. Both contain salicylic acid which prevents breakouts and gradually evens the skin tone out too. This is the most important thing you can do. I’ve tried various ‘oil free’/’salicylic acid’ moisturisers but the best I’ve found is the clean and clear on…I found the Neutrogena one actually seemed to aggravate my skin.
EMERGENCY SPOT TREATMENT!…The toothpaste things works! Put on a blob at night and put a bit of tissue over it so it doesn’t make a mess. It cools the area down and reduces the inflammation. I also recommend the clean and clear advantage spot treatment gel.
HORMONAL SPOTS…Any female with spots I’d recommend trying dianette or yasmine contraceptive pills because if it’s hormonal that can sort everything out within weeks…though it can take a couple of months to get used to the pill.
FACIAL ACNE: AVOID…Don’t use harsh scrubs and peroxide products daily like some people do; that can dry your skin and make produce MORE oil…just exacerbating the problem. Many face packs I’ve tried and those blackhead removal strips too seem to have caused problems.
I’ve also had problems with those ‘facial wipes’ made by clean and clear and Neutrogena because they’re too drying and when the top layer’s too dry, the oil gets stuck underneath and causes more problems!
Some say chocolate doesn’t affect it…it does for me and I don’t know how or why that should be but certain foods do seem to affect break out. Coffee is one of those things that seems to aggravate my skin too. So look out for anything you eat that might be making it worse.
HAIR PRODUCTS…Be careful what products you use in your hair if it’s long – certain conditioners have causes me to break out at times. Also be careful of hair gels, hair sprays and serums.
INGROWING HAIRS…For men or women…if you have oily skin, these are more likely. For men…use a facial scrub and avoid moisturisers that don’t have salicylic acid in them if you use a moisturiser. Some hair conditioners are much better lubricants than shaving cream too – so you might want to try that, and then was afterwards with a clean and clear was etc. Also I recommend the microdermabrasion kit mentioned later.
For women…waxing seems to cause the main problem – we pay most attention to our faces. Waxing seems to be the main culprit as opposed to shaving or hair removal creams…to avoid in-growing hairs, make sure to exfoliate. I recommend using those exfoliating gloves – that way, you can use any kind of shower gel.
NUTRITION…I recommend taking a 100% multi vitamin/mineral complex – those little spots you get around your mouth can be due to a vitamin b deficiency for example. Also I recommend Omega 369 oils every day because they improve blood flow.
OLD WIVES TALE??…It’s an ‘old wives tale’ type remedy – but a spoonful of cider vinegar and honey in hot water 3 times a day is meant to help EVERYTHING. It tastes nice too…kinda like honey and lemon X
HYDRATION….Keep your hydration right by drinking plenty of water, avoiding caffeine and alcohol and too much salt!
DEALING WITH SCARRING…there’s an excellent micro-dermabrasion scrub called ‘re-finish’ by L’oreal. You only use it a couple of times a week (and use at night because it makes your face red!). It really works not just with the colouring but also the texture – smoothes it back out. It comes with it’s own moisturiser which I don’t use but I use the scrub at night a couple of times a week and put bio oil on which it supposed to help clear scarring and even skin tone.
If you get your skin relatively under control, try using ’21 days Fade Cream’ (which I get from eBay) because it quickly clears up any scarring. It’s a skin lightening cream and is very effective as long as your skin type agrees with it. Bio oil is a good alternative!
Also, to detract from the colour variations in your skin tone, I recommend using Benefit’s Posie Tint or Benetint lipstain – this can be put on your cheeks and lips (which also makes your teeth look whiter as an added bonus). Lipstain is better than lipstick because it doesn’t smudge and it stays on; you can put lip balm or lip gloss on over it. Also, if you use it (SPARINGLY) on your cheeks, it is just like putting water on there; it doesn’t aggravate the skin or cause breakouts.

Hi,
The best product is water.
Mix it with non-perfumed soap and wash a few times a day.
Don’t wash more often than anyone else would.
Keep your hands and your hair off your face.
Change your pillow often.
Patience is paramount, it’s only a phase.
Good luck,
Owen.
a great product for getting rid of acne is the valence acne and skin purification set. it worked absolute wonders with my skin and i still use it today. it not only got rid of my acne but also my acne scars. i recommend that you try it out.
When most people get an acne outbreak, they usually purchase a harsh cleanser at the local pharmacy containing either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. This is a major mistake! These over the counter products generally dry the skin to reduce oil and remove bacteria, however, harsh over drying of the skin will cause the body to respond by producing even more oil to combat dryness, creating a vicious cycle. This will often lead to more acne or other skin problems.
Although it costs about the same as the Clinique system, I’ve used and recommend Hydroviton CR.
Hydroviton CR medicated cleanser contains organic micro-spheres that penetrate to the deepest layers of the skin to deeply moisturize, while at the same time removing toxins, bacteria, and regulating sebum production. It is the ideal cleanser for acne sufferers that provides immediate results.
