Everytime I deviate from the following regime, acne comes back with a vengeance. I have success with Burt's Bees acne cleansing gel (only 1% salicylic acid; if I use a higher solution, it's too harsh, and if I use none, my regime is ineffective), followed by a 1% benzoyl peroxide product (Clearisil, Neutrogena, Clean & Clear, or a generic, but again the percentage is key to not getting your skin too dried out). In the morning, I also use an extremely gentle, sensitive-skin moisturizer like Cetaphil or just dab a little organic jojoba oil only on any dry patches. Jojoba oil on oily skin is healing in small doses and really gets rid of old redness and acne scars. In the evening, instead of the moisturizer I splurge and use a fairly generous amount of Philosophy's Hope in a Jar moisturizer/exfoliator product. This stuff has been an absolute godsend for me. It's a little pricey, but it lasts a long time and really does wonders for cell turnover, old scar reduction, redness reduction, and even the reduction of fine lines.

Nothing I do, even the combination above, really combats oily skin, but as I've gotten older, I'm okay with having a "youthful glow." It's the big red blemishes I'm way more worried about keeping at bay. With the above process, my breakouts are few and far between, but unfortunately now it's all about reducing the appearance of scarring from old pimples. :(

I have had problems with acne since I hit puberty and I am now 34. Nothing worked for any length of time and it always came back. Until my doctor put me on Spironolactone. I have always had really oily skin and my doctor kept telling me he wanted me to try this but it would take a couple of months to work and I was always hesitant. After trying pretty much everything else I went for it and OMG I finally found something that works!! No more oily skin and no more breaks outs. It took about a month of taking it daily but the results are amazing. I went off of it because I wanted to have another baby and my skin was great the whole pregnancy and then after I had my son it stayed pretty good for the first 5 months or so and then I noticed I was getting oily again. I got right back on it and it's working great again!

Argan oil can clean the skin and acne, and make the skin even more solid, bright and shiny as well as skin moist, soft and renewed vitality.

I could see visible difference in the next day and they flattened out on the
next day. I applied extra amount on affected areas. I also applied dermalmd all over my face. I'm super impressed. It absorbs super fast onto the skin.

I heard this aspirin paste as well but didn't try it. My ultimate acne solution is go organic -
cleanse - honey and witch hazel product
tone - tea tree and papaya extract
moisturise - argan oil

worked for me, no more breakouts
