Re: Acne Treatments

5% benzoyl peroxide. works for me too. A glycolic wash will help get rid of scars - Jan Marini is a good brand but hard to get hold of.

Also have been reading about a new gadget called zeno. It's destroys the bacterial causing the spot. It's getting very good reviews in the UK so am thinking of investing in it. I tend to get frequent spots that turn into big angry blisters, and always before a party, wedding or a get-together - not fun!!

Re: Acne Treatments

Also, this really made a difference for my breakouts. It’s counterintuitive because instead of drying out my skin, it was very rich and moisturizing. But it made a huge difference!

My overall routine:
Every morning I wash my face with this: http://www.burtsbees.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10751&storeId=10101&productId=32657&langId=-1&categoryId=&showSubCategory=yes

And exfoliate with this:

And use this on my eyes, before makeup and before bed:

At night, I apply this:

And this about once a week:

I don’t use their regular moisturizer any more because I wanted one with SPF 30 in it, so I’ve been using this (works fine so far):

Re: Acne Treatments

I have used the Burt & Bees Lip balm. Yummy. How do you like the undereye cream?

Re: Acne Treatments

I like it. It moisturizes, soothes, and softens the eye area. I don't have very dark circles, though.

Re: Acne Treatments

i LOVE Jan Marini! I use their bioglycolic oily skin face wash, bioclear lotion and their enzyme mask. Love their products. They dont completely eliminate my acne but keep it wayy under control and whenever i do get blemishes, they heal faster. Their products are easily avalible at skinstore.com. I always buy through them since from my experience they have the best prices, free shipping on orders of any size and they ship the very same or next day. They also have regular sales like 10 or 20% off so i stock up when they have those.

Re: Acne Treatments

^ once a doc prescribed me birth control for moderate acne...i neva took it! i checked it up on net and the birth control had so many side effects plus just the idea of using it scared me. Now that i m free from college and stay in all day my skin's fine but when i go out esp in heat i break out or during pms.
