  • baking powder mixed with water as a scrub works great to dry it out.

    I use it once a week on a loofa and noticed a big difference.. I also use noxema

  • I started using a loofah on my back and shoulders which has really helped clear things up. Benzoyl perxide products are good. I recommend AcneFree or AcneFree Severe (they are like ProActiv only cheaper and available at Walmart/Target).

  • SA has had nothing but a negative effect for my skin. I have been using a wash from Origins (Its $20). There are no chemicals and it makes your face really clean helps control the acne. Definitely try something without the SA and Benzoyl. You might have to contact a specialist.
  • i had bad skin in the begining and started using a scrub a few times a week in the shower and aveeno products. you have to try and see what works best.
  • There's a really good Neutrogena body wash that I've been using.  I use it with a loofah to exfoliate and cleanse.  It has been working pretty well.

    i have the same damn problem!! :(

  • I was using all kinds of stuff (mainly SA and benzoyl) and none of it was working. I've gotten the best results from using a Dove moisturizing beauty bar...I guess the other stuff was so harsh that it was making my skin react more
