Question by Mpower: What cleanser, toner and moisturizer to use for moderate acne?
Hello everyone, I am suffering from moderate acne and ive been trying to clear it up for many years now. I tried acne free severe, tooth paste, and other cleansers, but it hasnt helped too much.

I am planning on buying the neutrogena acne wash for cleansing, but I would like to know what toner and moisturizer to buy with it. At this point in time i use clean and clear acne 3-1 face wash. It makes my skin very dry and im not sure if its even helping too much.

Most acne products in the store all have the same active ingredient: salicylic acid. Read the labels; you will be suprised! SA does very little for me; though it does help to maintain sloughing.

What works for me is this: Day cleanser: Clean and Clear 10% Benzoyl Peroxide (Walgreens)
Evening and Night: Wash with Nubian Heritage African Black Soap (Health food stores or online at nubianheritage.com; look for it in the ‘bar soap’ section)

Toner: Mario Badescu Special Cucumber Lotion (Ulta or online)
Spot Treatment: Mario Badescu Drying Cream or Burt’s Bees Herbal Blemish Stick (Walmart)

Twice a week: Use a salicylic acid cleanser 1x a day; replacing the Black Soap wash, but in addition to the BP morning wash. (take your pick; they’re a dime a dozen)

Once a week: Exfoliate. St. Ives Daily Microdermabrasion (walmart or drugstore)
Once a week for six weeks: 50% glycolic acid peel. I only buy this from– http://cgi.ebay.com/1oz-50-GLYCOLIC-PEEL-SOLUTION-/150478022488?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0
They have great prices and fast shipping.

You may want to ask your doctor for Clindamycin lotion 1%. I have this on hand at all times for the occasional cystic acne freak-out, which is usually stress-induced in my case.

A note on glycolic peels: If you have sensitive skin, you may want to start out with the 30% (I have tough skin lol) You build up your time with it (leave it on 1 min the first time, the next week leave on for 2 minutes, etc) and be sure to not expose your face to the sun afterwards, and I mean the whole six-week time frame. Use a gentle sunscreen for the face. It burns a bit during and after treatment, and your face will feel almost sunburned…..at least, that’s my experience. You do this once a week for six weeks. It makes a huge difference in pore size, oiliness, skin texture, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines. The company I mentioned above gives you complete instructions with whatever you buy.

Everything I have mentioned here is VERY affordable.
