Lately, I've been thinking about changing up the products I use. I currently use the Clinique 3-step Acne treatment, and although it cleared most of my acne, I still have many scars (ice pick) and my skin was definitely affected by the chemicals. I was thinking about changing to something more natural. For example, I've heard about African black soap? Basically I'm looking for products that will maintain my clear skin but also clear my scars. I've heard that vitamin c serum helps in healing scars by producing collagen- should I include that in my routine? Basically, I feel like my Clinique treatment is becoming too expensive and although it helped my acne clear up, I do not think it really helped my skin. I want to switch to something natural because I'm afraid the moment I do, I will start to break out again. It took 2 years for my Clinique treatment to show pretty good results, I'm scared I'll have to wait another year or so.. What should I do? Should I switch to something more natural and include new things in my routine or stick to the expensive Clinique treatment that I feel isn't treating my skin well?
P.S. I'm looking for something that will help maintain my semi-clear skin, help heal my ice pick scars, and will minimize my pores. Please feel free to suggest any products that worked for you!

I use the DeeVoo Acne Trio, and love how it combines natural ingredients with 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide. It cleared me up without any problems... sounds like it might be what your looking for. Good luck finding something that works 🙂
