I used to get a TON of acne. So, I started using proactiv, but it really didn't work. In fact, it made my skin really flaky and I got a rash. I then tried Clean & Clear. It made my skin tingle and feel clean, but didn't do anything for the breakout. I then tried Neutrogena, which worked for a while, but not that strong.

I now use Clearasil, which really works wonders for me. I'm really glad I use it. I use Clearasil ULTRA Acne Clearing Scrub with 2% salicylic acid as a daily scrub, and then every time I get a MAJOR breakout I use Neutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Eliminating Spot Gel. It works pretty well as an overnight thing.

Also, breakouts are often caused by stress! So, whenever she's feeling stressed, tell her to take a few deep breaths and clear her mind. Feel surreal and like you're floating away. Being non-stressed really helps, and it makes you more social (at least in my experience). Incense also helped me, and moisturizing lessens stress as well. You can use really any lotion, but I use any of Bath & Body Works lotions.

:D Hope I helped!


EDIT: Ohh, and I have really average skin. It's not sensitive or anything, so if you have sensitive skin, I'd check with a dermatologist or check the backs of the bottles before you use them. Benzoyl Peroxide (found in Proactiv) can be really harmful to sensitive skin. Salicylic acid (found in Neutrogena and Clearasil) can also be harmful, but not that bad if used in really small doses.

EDIT 2: AHH! ALSO! Toothpaste works on sudden zits. Sorry. Just a tip. haha

i personally like clean and clear for breakouts

before putting something on her face tell her to see a dermatologist coz they will know what type of skin you have and what treatment will work. some treatment only makes something worse.

Soap and water. Nothing works except perscription stuff. And it's natural.

mabye oxy pads, or a perscription acne product. I personally use Oxy pads

i am 31 yrs old and my whole life until i turned about 27 , i had a really good complexion, it seems like after i had my tubes tied, everything went downhill especially my complexion. I went to belk a department store, and at the clinique counter i found something that works really good for me. it is the acne and blemish line which contains cleanser, medicated toner, and medicated lotion. i also switched my fondation to the same line, i have used it for about 1 month. working great. Its expensive but worth it
