1. I like to use neutrogena it works good for me. And of course drink plenty of water. And find out what triggers your breakouts.
2. Try the products from Avon...they work pretty well. and they are cheap
3. ZAPZYT is fairly inexpensive. Or you could use any generic store brand benzoyl peroxide gel.
4. Go to the drug store and purchase the generic brand of any popular named acne product out there. Clean and Clear is a good one, so is Phisoderm and Neutrogena. Try the 2% salicylic acid and if you seem to break out more, go with a product with 1% or 1/2% in it. If none of those work, then try the Benzoyl Peroxide products, 5% or 10%. Usually just a good cleanser is all you need, just use it twice a day. If you think you need to use those cleansing pads, go ahead, but watch out for extra dry skin. IF you try the products for a month or two and your skin keeps getting worse, you may need to see a dermatologist.
5. Hey, I came across a site going back months ago. Its a regime using the main ingredient in pimple creams, Benzoyl Peroxide. I started doing it and my face has never looked better. Go have a look, read up on it. You can buy the cream off the site, I get mine from a chemist though (different brand). Good Luck!
6. your skin is olily. so make sure that any product you use is oil free. it would also be great for your skin to get moisture and water. find a moisturizer with "lanolin". this helps the skin absorb water. and DONT use anything on your face that has alcohol. i use clean and clear, which has no alcohol in it, its just a cleanser. get anything that is "anti-microbial". that will clean all the germs that is exacerbating your acne. any type of exfoliating cream would be great to get too.
