Acne Treatment

Has anyone else had any success with these? They just dry my skin out and make it red. Does anyone else get this also?

Never heard of it. Needs some reviews from people who have used it.

well a lot of acne products do that. did you use a mosturizer while using that?

I like the stridex you can actualy feel it working.I must say though that I have combination skin and it seems to dry my face in some areas.I have even peeled from it.It does seem to take the pimples away though.I have never tried the zap zit but have seen it and wondered if it works.Anyone tried?

I did have to end up using a mousturizer with it.Everytime i use one i seem to break out from it so its like an endless process.My granma swears by ivory soap and nothing else.She says that every woman in our family who has used ivory had nice skin.

I have wondered about proactive whether its worth the hefty price?has anyone ordered it and used it more than one month?If you finish it do you have to get another month to be able to keep the zits at bay?

I have the same reaction to most of the OTC topical acne meds. I have found that if I use a very light touch(smaller amount) it does help decrease the skin irritation.

So do you just use it on the pimple or do you apply to your whole face to prevent future break outs?I seem to do better when i spread it around instead of one spot.

I've used duac for a while now, and it normally gets rid of pimples overnight. I first tried it as full face treatment, but reduced it to spot treatment after getting a dried out face the next morning. Works better than proactive for me.
