i use the clean and clear face wash and it cleared up my skin pretty well…. but then i thought i should use the clean and clear and other acne treatment kits and my acne got worse and my pimples got so big… why is that?
maybe it was because of all the chemicals that were being used but im not sure.
but then again i have very sensitive skin

Do you think Murad will work for me?

acne complex review
lauraandbeccy asked:


A couple days ago I begged my dad into buying the Murad Acne Complex Kit from their site. I have heard of aaaall of the horrible things it has done to people after they had used it, and I have heard about the people that it did wonders for. Even though there were tons of good AND reaally bad reviews, I’m been struggling with acne for so long that I just need to see if this will be my cure!

I have used Proactiv, Benzaclin, Clindamycin, Mosom, Clean and Clear products, Neutrogena products, Tazorac, Differin, AcneFree, prescribed pads, Evoclin, Solodyn, Doryx, Retin-A, Biodermazen, Acnetix, Juliet’s Cosmetics, Triaz, etc.
NONE of that worked, and most of those products made my skin worse. I CANNOT use Benzoyl Peroxide. I think that I can use Salicylic Acid. I have sensitive skin.
Since my mom lost her job at the dermatologist’s office where she takes us, she is no longer letting us go there. This means that I have no more face wash to keep my skin at least ooooookay. I can’t go to another derm. because we went to all of the other ones in our area! I just bought Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Scrub which seemed to make my face worse, but I’m not sure. At first I had thought that the Salicylic Acid made it worse, but then I heard that if it was a gel or something other than a wash, then it could irritate my skin since it would be left on my skin. So this product ruined my skin after only one day so I stopped. So now I’m back to using a lighter product called Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser or something like that-for normal to oily skin. This is calming it down, but not doing anything else for my acne. I am also still using Clindamycin at night. My face is getting very dry and it kind of burns, and I don’t know why. I always put on my Neutrogena Oil-free moisturizer, which is supposed to help, but it makes it burn a little. Help…
Sooo, will the Murad Acne Complex Kit work for me??
If you’ve tried it, can you please say what your skin is like?

I usually get breakouts every once in a while around the time of my period and what not, but just the past week or my entire face is breaking out terriably. I wash it daily, but have changed my face wash and think that may be the reason for the big breakouts. So with that said what do you think is the best over the counter acne medication ??

Thanks in advance !!

I am currently on Retina-Micro and using neutrogena face wash with 2 % Sal. Acid. I sometimes use mask, and peels ( not strong) like from Wal-mart. I’ve searched a few sites. I was just curious what you mothers use for acne. I’ve had acne since I was 12 so it’s nothing new to me. Thanks for you suggestions ! =)
