Well, I have mild acne, nothing too bad.
I am currently using Neutragena Oil Free Face Wash.
The red bumps are slim to none, but blackheads are still kinda there.
Any good face wash better than the stuff Im using?
I wanna rid of the blackheads.

apricot scrub - they make one specifically for black heads - stives
I have the same blackhead problem. Well, I did. Try "Blackhead Clearing Scrub" by Clean & Clear and "Blemish and Blackhead Control" by St. Ives Apricot Scrub. They worked very well for me. Good luck.
do dermotoligist make creams that get read of black head specifcally cause i have had black heads on my nose for like 10 years

Also, Im gonna try some of that St. Ives stuff....
But quick question, is the St. Ives for blackheads alone? Or is it a good overall face wash?
i use it all over my face- i have a few different versions of it - apricot scrub is the bombOriginally Posted by kyjelly
I use a Benzoyl Peroxide 10% Soap, its awesome.
yeah i think im jsut gonig to the dermo thanks
anyone have a preferred brand of face lotion to use after washing face or just a shower?
u mean moisturizer right?Originally Posted by gettnthere
depends on your skin type and what your looking for
For Gentle Skin Cleanser I use Spectro Gel or Cetaphil
For Lotion I use Cetaphil or Aveeno daily moisturzier.
Yea,i thought they were same thing...my skin type,normal skin tone,not fair not dark,tan fairly easily...somewhat sensitive skin...my girlfriend got me into some girly pond's face moisturizer,which i like,but i know there's better stuff for men...maybe something that prevents wrinkles,and keeps skin firm,tight?..im only 23,no wrinkles or anything like that,but itd be nice to keep them off as long as possible...and i fvcking hate when my skin feels dry
Nivea for men.. or this is product Aqua somethinmg.... or Biotherm (spelling) they are expensive but if thats what ur looking for then id suggest those.
I find that water is a start.
Always - use water!Originally Posted by Lavinco

That Retin-A microgel is good stuff...I used to use it a few years ago when I had acne. It dried my skin out but it works.
Can the apricot scrub be used daily?

I read in GQ that you shouldnt use those exfoliating scrubs more than once or twice a week.thats the only time ive heard that but somethin to think about

LPR...dermatology.
exfoliating should be done only a couple times a week to fluff off dead skin
cells. irratation if used more frequent. if you have the money go with
dermalogica-thats was ethsticians use. the website gives recomendations for
every skin type. its good stuff. try www.whatgreatskin.com for good prices.
u can get it at any upper beuty store also. stuff in stores is crap.
I like CleanandClear products.
For daily face washing try the " Daily Pore Cleansing Pads" ( on one side it have the scrubbing micro scrubbers and other side is a moisturizer)>>>http://cleanandclear.com/products/fa...eanspads.shtml
For your acne try clean and clear " advantage acne cleanser)>>http://cleanandclear.com/products/fa...cleanser.shtml
blackhead: clean and clear " blackhead clearing scrub" I'll recommend to get the cleansing daily pads though. >>>http://cleanandclear.com/products/fa...ead_pads.shtml

facial soap = Cetaphil (mild but dermatoligist 1 recommended)
acne treatment = BenzaClin good but Expensive
dry skin lotion for face and aftershave lotion = Biore Pore Perfect Shine Control Moisterizer (excellent)
(HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) A new product for oil based steriod users are these wipes from Clean and Clear called Oil Absorbing sheets (removes excess oil from face and you'll be suprised how much oil you have on your face when you look onto the wipe.
Another product I bout was a mechanical hand held device that you put right on the pimple called Zeno. It's pricey as well but it works. Bottom line if it's a problem for you and it bothers you like it does me. Your gonna pay for the stuff that's gonna work.
Also a helpgull hint if you pop a pimple by accident by washing or whatever put some rubbing alchol on that area and pimple immediatley so it doesn't spread to other areas.
I do need a bar sop for shoulders and or backne. I only use reg soap. Any suggestions!! I've seen a few on here that I might try out. Another thing is that loufa or whatever that gets rid of all the dead skin cells and excess bumps on your soulders and upper back.
ACNE
some of zirhs products are good, some way to harsh.
hugo boss has a nice line.
my favorite is clinique for men.
