Paula's Choice BHA 2% liquid has been great for me. You can get a trial with free shipping for $8. The bottle lasts a month. Apply thin. It makes skin sort of greasy but I wake up fine. I only use it at night. I just wanted to share this tip.

Also, my skin loves serums. I do not see a lot of talk about serums around here.

Witch Hazel is my best friend! My skin also is more clear when it is properly moisturized. I used light lotions for so long because my skin was so oily. I found that deep moisture at night really helps. I NEVER use any acne wash. They always ruin my skin and break me out.

I know everyone is different. I have minimal acne, but HUGE pores and tons of blackheads. Spironolactone did wonders for my skin, but I lost hair on it (that is why I joined this forum). I hope this helps someone out there.
