What’s the best skin care system for acne prone skin?

The birth control pill has always helped my skin, but currently I’m breastfeeding. Pro Active is far too drying for me, and even makes my skin look dry and leathery. I have very large pores, and therefore millions of blackheads (yuck!). I tend to break out mostly on my forehead, hairline and jaw. I appreciate any stories of success or any advice! Thanks!

Wendy,
I had the same problem. First of all I tried pro-active and it dried my skin out too. The one thing I learned was that I was doing too much to my skin. Scrubbing and witch hazel was too harsh and actually irritated my face by how often I used it…daily. I changed my BareMinerals make-up to Almay foundation because the powdery natural make-up infected my break outs, so it would never heal and clear up. I wash my face daily with Olay face wash and then use clean and clear daily Pore Cleanser. Every other day or twice a week, I use Olay toner and Olay Exfoliating Scrub, and follow up with Olay Moisture Cream.

It seems like a lot of products, but you have no idea how little it is. I see very few break outs. Maybe one itty bitty blemish every other day.

I hope it works for you!
