Face stuff...???

[Lindsey]

I tried a product called Clear Solution I think, it's just like ProActiv but you can buy it from drug stores in Canada. It dried out my skin terribly, even the lotion had benzoyl peroxide in it, so it didn't do much. My skin DID improve... but for the first few weeks it got worse from pulling up everything that was deep down in my pores.
If you had clear skin before, I don't think you would need to go this route with using something so harsh. What I found worked best with me was using very gentle cleansers. I think my skin got so oily because I was drying it out so much with face washes, so it overproduced oils and then I got acne. From going to a spa I learned that dead sea minerals are great for your face... and now I swear by it! I've been using a gentle cleanser and toner with a high percentage of dead sea minerals and I have clearer skin than I ever have.
If you find anything to reduce scars, let me know! I still have red spots that I need to cover with makeup every day.
