PCOS ladies a question

What do you use to wash your face with? 

I thought I had the acne at the very least under control but now I have broken out all over my chin and cheeks and it's so uncomfortable.  

What do you use and why?

    I am very lazy about washing my face and most of the time at night I skip it all together. When I wash it in the morning in the shower I use the St. Ives Apricot scrub for sensitive skin. It is very gentle and I have used it for years. At night, if I decide to wash my face I use the make-up remover towelettes, any brand that is already pre-moistened. I like the target brand the best or the Biore.

    I rarely wear makeup, maybe once per week, so that is why I am so bad at washing my face at night... the one day a week I do wear makeup is when I wipe it off at night with one of those towelettes.

    i never really had terrible acne problems, just occasional cystic acne. i use neutrogena fresh foaming face wash. it deep cleans but without drying me out.

    Spectro Gel to wash morning and evening.  I find it doesn't dry me out and it comes fragrance free.  I also use Clean & Clear all day pimple fighter with 2% salicilic (sp?) acid. most mornings and all evenings and then only at night Johnson's & Johnson's spot treatment with 10% peroxide.  Breakouts can be so awful to deal with, hth.

    I alternate between St. Ives Apricot Scub & the orange Neutrogena face wash.

    Velocity by Mary Kay all the time and the oil mattifier and acne treatment gel if needed. I use it because it works and it's cheap (compared to their other lines)

    I use Johnson and Johnson's Clean and Clear. It was just perfect when I was still on bcp, but I think I might need to up it to something stronger.
