Question by Dan: What are some acne creams that actually WORK?
I’ve tried many different types of acne creams. Clean and Clear, spot treatment, etc. Does anyone know of any acne creams that they have used, and that worked?
P.S. Should I use the spot treatment, and the facial cleanser, because I’ve only used one at a time.

Pro Activ:)
What do you think? Answer below!
crisco
Neutrogena Advanced.
You use it twice a day and it’s facewash, spot treatment, and oil-free lotion.
what i do is wash my face in the morning and at night and use the spot treatment at night and lotion in the morning. works wonders!
As a daily fix use proactive. But as a one time use…toothpaste works. It will dry out blackheads and pimples as a spot treatment. You have to let it dry though.
Pro Active !
I had this same problem for ten years of my life. I tried Proactiv, neutrogena, bio crap and dozens of prescribed meds. Nothing worked ever. My dermatologist was about to give up on me. I was washing my face three times a day and applying two different creams and taking an oral pill and it just made my acne bigger and to the point where it was going to scar my face badly. A few months ago, I was talking to a friends about acne. She had terrible acne a few years back and by changing her lifestyle she got rid of it! Here is what she did to change her face:
- tons of water ( 8-10 glasses of day )
- exercised (Every other day for an hour)
- ate more vegetables and fruits
- she washed her face morning and night with regular soap
- applied lotion after washing
- steamed face once a week (loosen pores)
- slept on her back with her hair back
- washed her hair every day
- used a mask once a week
- used less makeup
I hope this helps. Some of these things are hard to change but the make a difference. I started doing these things too and It is making a big difference! Hope it works for you too!
I wrote an article on this site of exactly how I got rid of it. It uses the same method that Proactiv does without making you buy their expensive products. These are all drug store brands. Check it out!
