Acne treatment cream/gel that actually works?!
Question:
..that doesn't cause dryness, redness and itchiness the next day after you wake up, and prevents future breakouts. I've already tried Retin-A, Duac, (even taken accutane pills), all kinds of topical gels, and nothing seems to work. :( Which ones have you used that actually works and doesn't do the things I've just mentioned? Thanks.
Answers:
I've found what works is just take some run of the mill vegetable oil, or better yet the runoff grease left over after you cook bacon and just smear it all over your face. In addition to smelling good, it really clears up the pores. Oh, and don't wash your face after for at least a week, that way it gets a chance to soak in and really work. Good luck!

retin-a works really good, thats what i used but it has to be prescribed
I use Rx Benza-Clin, or called clindoxyl gel in canada. I bareley ever get zits! ask your doctor to prescribe it for u. (it is kinda expensive though)

Velocity Facial Cleanser from Mary Kay, I found, is really good for daily use in the shower.
For serious out breaks, I use it once at night, wash off my face, and by the morning things have started to clear up. Then, before leaving the house, use it once more and make sure to wash my face as well.
What worked for me was that light brown liquid antibacterial soap and a facial sponge. Creams and normal soap just made it worse.
