I use Purpose Gel cleanser. Pretty gentle stuff, but my face feels clean afterwards. I also use Tazorac to keep the pores cleared out.

BHAs and retinoids, avoid heavy creams.

yeah Paulas Choice BHA 2% for example..and a scrub..anything u put on your face is going to seep into the pores so thats why no makeup is better but as long as u wash your face evrynight and drink water..use a lotion and not a cream..steam facials..it can be OK..also apple cider vinegar diluted with water (organic) is good in place of BHA's.

HOPE IN A BOTTLE by philosophy is a great moisturizer, very lightweight, matte finish and it contains SA 2%.

i also suggest using a gentle facial sponge (the body shop has nice ones) when cleansing your face, it turns any cleanser into a mild exfoliant.
