It also compares with "Pro-Active"Klear Action, you can buy it at any CVS pharmacy, its very inexpensive, and it lasts me for about a month...

dumbmrblah 0 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I use Provon Medicated Lotion Soap. You can buy it online at provon.com, it's a really nice antibacterial soap that doesn't dry my face out at all.I also use Aveeno Clear Complexion bar soap. Both are good cleansers, I'd recommend either. Another key to not drying out your skin, or at least mine, is not leaving it under hot water for long periods of time. I used to wash my face in the shower and since I've switched to washing my face and then taking a shower I'm doing alot better.j Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cruella22 0 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Almay Clear Complexion Wash, Alpha Hydrox Wash, Purpose Liquid soap, Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash. Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser has worked the best for me bu you have to use a makeup remover beforhand. Use an oil free one, but I use alcohol-free fragrance-free baby wipes and it works the best without dryness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I second the alpha hydrox wash, it's the best non drying, non irritating wash I have found. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cori 0 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I would use a mild cleanser like Spectro Gel, or Dove. really careful about using anything like "clear complextion" stuff etc., if you are using other acne medication. Some have warnings about using with other acne products. I know Spectro Acne Cleansing Pads are not to be used with any other acne medication, so read the directions.
