I have mild acne.
Ive tried it all, pro activ, countless acne products, clearasil, cetaphil, various moisturizers and the clear skin regimen. All which have made me clear for a short period of time. I keep on breaking out and im so SICK of wasting time in the bathroom using so many products and steps. Pro activ did make me clear but made my skin extremely red and oily, I used the clear skin regimen and I quit due to the fact that the second something wet touches my face it leaves a white streak on my face and I live in a very humid place..



There hasnt been a day where I havent used an acne medication on my face. I always believe if I never used a product my face would look hideous...well a week ago..I was done with all that crap...I tried rinsing my face with 2 splashes of water following a cold splash of water then waiting for my face to dry..then I apply 100% aloe vera...my skin...is beautiful..well the red marks are disappearing and I havent had any new blemishes forming at all. I think the key to having clear skin is to just keep things simple...When I wash my face I dont strip it of everything. Use natural stuff IMO...I feel like im reborn now surprised.gif

This is just a fucked up Western disease. Then apply to that some fucked up Western chemicals. Mmm, your acne soon morphs into Dermatitis or Rosacea.
