I use Zarqa products (though i live in Europe, i don't know if you can get it) but it's great for my combination/sensitive acne prone skin It has Salisylic acid, Natural ingredients and is not animal tested :D
But for whatever product you choose, try something which contains salisylic acid!! this is great for fighting bacteria that causes breakouts ^^
do you mean Loreal..? (this didn't do anything for me either) If you are looking for something to clear acne/breakouts you could go to your doctor. I have been looking for ages for something against my acne, tried a LOT but nothing really seemed to work. so i went to the doctor and she gave me an antibiotics cream which does work ^^
well over here it is free, because of health care system and all. so i don't know what it'll cost you. but i can tell you, trying a thousand face washes is expensiiivee!! so i'd say, ask your doctor:)
If salicylic acid doesn't work, you can try a face wash with benzoyl peroxide. But it's good to ask your dermatologist and see what the under laying issue could be. Surprisingly enough diet and hormones are the issue. I use a store brand face washes, one with salicylic acid and the other with benzoyl peroxide. They do different things to combat acne. I have oily skin and this method has helped me. I use a lot of aloe Vera gel and vitamin e oil for my skin too.

I'm looking for a new face wash. I have combination skin type with frequent breakouts, so whatever I use has to be acne fighting.

I've considered that, but how expensive is it? My breakouts are tolerable, so I thought I'd try an over the counter face wash first.
