    Belli skincare products have made a world of difference for me! Derm and OB approved, all safe ingredients. I use the cleansing wash and the acne treatment gel/serum. I'm not 100% clear bc some is still hormonal but holy cow, it's a bajillion times better than it was pre Belli products!

    Dr bronner's liquid castile soap in tea tree oil. Then I make sure to add a drop of tea tree oil to a gentle lotion. Thinking of adding jojoba oil as my moisturizer. I hear it's great for acne prone skin

    Can you go for a facial?  That would be my first step, just to force everything out to start to clear it.

    I use Dr. Perricone's, but it's really expensive.  When I travel, I use Clinique.  I always use Neutrogena Oil Free Moisturizer, which is cheap but I really, really like.  A good toner is helpful in clearing breakouts, too.

    I normally use a very basic cleanser like dove daily and then panoxyl cleanser every week or every 3 days. My derm put me on it a few years ago and it WORKS to clear you up! just make sure you moisturize

    Hopefully it works for you :-) I forgot to also mention that I use the scrub twice a week. If just the cleanser isn't working, I'd definitely recommend adding the acne spot treatment. Good luck!!

    I tried the Belli face wash and acne product. They actually made my skin worse. But it could depend on the issue you are having. I think my skin was oily and those products seemed to make it worse. Instead I started using a nicer witch hazel in the morning and at night and I also use the Buffering Lotion by Mario Badescu at night. This routine has really worked for me. I may just be trial and error for you too until you figure out what works best. Good luck.

    I've just started with the Belli face wash with a charcoal konjac sponge and it has made a world of difference for me.  The bumps haven't all gone away but new ones aren't popping up everyday and they aren't bright red.

    I've also have been using the Kiss My Face toner and acne spot treatment which has helped.

    This is going to sound weird but I was breaking out really bad and I was washing my face twice a day. I just stopped washing my face at night and now I only wash my face in the shower once a day. My face completely cleared up & I haven't been putting any kind of make up on.

    I've never had really good skin and during my first pregnancy my acne just got WORSE. Now with my 2nd pregnancy, I'm using organic rosehip soap and rosehip oil as my moisturizer. I'm happy to say that it's been helping keep the acne the down (even with all the hormones) and I can see a good improvement with my skin. Hope this helps!

    @moonyeyed‌ was the rose hip soap a kind of castile soap?

  • moonyeyedmoonyeyed member
    @rachel+family‌ i believe it is (i'm not really sure what castile soap is lol) but it says it's made from cold-pressed rosehip oil - so i guess the process is in making it is the same.

    I received the Belli face wash on Saturday and started using it that night! 3 days later and I see a HUGE difference. They are almost gone and no new ones. I'm starting to feel pretty again! Yay!!!
