What products do you use to wash your face

I need to find something better to wash my face with.

I've used Proactiv before in the past but I didn't like it so much and I hated applying the 3 steps every morning and night, lol.

Is there something better that has less steps that helps with pimples?

I am BAD and squeeze pimples when I have them and Im getting a ton of pimples lately on my face which is bad since I cant stop myself from squeezing.

So please help me find a better product to eliminate all these damn pimples from showing.

TIA

I just posted this in another thread but I make a paste out of apple cider vinegar and baking soda powder.

It's been amazing for my face so far!


Then I use Boots brand face wash.

Re: What products do you use to wash your face

i will ONLY use mary kay deep cleanser for oily skin on my face. i had bad skin as a teenager and nothing helped but this... i've been using it ever since. i've had great skin for years but am too paranoid to use anything else.

Re: What products do you use to wash your face

Make sure you drink tons of water and always use a toner. Toner is key. I use Seabreeze toner. Right now I'm using Loreal Go 360. Every face wash is meh to me. Nothing really helps and I too squeeze my pimples. I even have a designated safety pin so I can do my own pimple surgery. Chat Icon

But honestly I've found that toner helps me the most.

I agree. I used to use it. Became too pricey for me... now I am using Boscia.

I also LOVED Thermaderm!

This might sound funny - but do you eat a lot of sugar or dairy?

Re: What products do you use to wash your face

I use Cetaphil face wash for normal to oily skin, though I am sure there is better/stronger stuff out there. I am just hesitant to use stuff that may have stronger ingredients for when I'm pregnant. Yup.. I have resorted to going the crazy preggo route since my loss Chat Icon Chat Icon

Anyway, Cetaphil is fine but is by no means a "serious" face wash.

I buy Murad at Sephora. Usually wait for F&F discount and stock up. It's expensive Chat Icon Boscia is also sold in Sephora.

Re: What products do you use to wash your face

I use the St. Ive's blemish control. I don't usually break out a lot, but right before my period I tend to get them on my chin and forehead. St. Ive's blemish control really helps. I also use an on-the-spot acne cream overnight.

I've noticed that my skin is better after a week of laying off the dairy and refined sugar (still eat fruit). Stress is a culprit too but some diet change can help too.
