Hello ladies!
You all will think that I'm crazy for making this suggestion, and I thought the person who made this suggestion to me was crazy too, but an inexpensive solution to acne prone, oily skin is SAFEGUARD soap. Yes, good old Safeguard anti-bacterial soap and water. I've always had oily skin and I've tried Retin A, tetracyclene and all the other stuff. Although these things worked they were all expensive. Also, I just got tired of going to the dermatologist every five minutes for refills.
Since I've been using Safeguard (and Clean & Clear Astringent--once a day, for the last 3 years) I have practically blemish-free skin even though I wear make-up practically every day. In fact, most people don't know whether I'm wearing foundation or not. Of course there are certain times, say every 3-4 weeks (catch my drift) that I get a few small pimples, but nothing major. I would suggest to anyone with oily skin to try it before spending a whole lot of money on something else. I have also heard of people (to whom I haven't suggested this) with other skin problems using Safeguard with good results.
