I use the Proactiv Facial Cleanser, and I know everyone has their opinion on it and think it is not a good product to use. It does make your skin more sensitive due to the ingredients that it contains. I find that using the Proactiv cleanser leaves my skin feeling very, very clean and feeling refreshed, as well as it exfoliates great. I used to have very bad acne and the Proactiv has cleared it up quite well. I've used it for about four years now. I don't use the whole three step system though. I find the toner does nothing, and the moisturizer makes my skin oiler. For a toner I use the Biore toner, and I dont even use a moisturizer because my skin is oily as it is. If I were to suggest a cream for afterwards, I would use a Clean and Clear one, that is oil free!

Alyssa, sometimes oily skin is compensating for "dry" skin. Sometimes the skin isn't getting hydrated enough, so it produces sebum (or whatever the term for oil on the skin is). So that's why you hear or read that even if you have oily skin, it's good to moisturize your skin. Try moisturizing with the Clean and Clear and see if your oil decreases.

@Alyssa I agree with not using a moisturizer. If your skin is oily it is producing that oil because that is how your genes are, not because it isn't moisturized. If that were the case then no one would have dry skin because the skin would produce more oil as needed. I also agree with not using the proactiv toner; it's terrible! I did an ingredient analysis of it on my blog: http://maquilagem-masstige.blogspot.com/2010/05/whats-in-it-wednesday-proactiv.html

I have never had SEVERE acne, but enough for it to be a problem! I love Cetaphil Moisturizer! Its around $14 for a huge bottle that lasts me a little over a year! I also use Vita K Professional Acne scar treatment once a day and I also recently found EMC2! It's an amazing product with a radically different approach to fighting acne! I also got it for FREE! score! If you're interested I did a huge review on it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsITPRxXUhM and I also tell you how you can get it for free! I also explain exactly why the new approach to fighting acne with and OIL based treatment works so well! Sounds crazy, I know...I thought so to. If you also wanna take a look at my skincare video it mentions my entire routine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnfnielo6aM Good luck!

I'm a licensed Esthetician and I know that most drug store facial products clog pores and make the problem worse. I use Image Skin care on myself and on my clients and I swear by it.

I work at a spa where they only use image and I have to admit it made my face way worse. I have sensitive acne prone oily skin and it did nothing but give me worse breakouts and redness.

I use the beauche set. I used it for 1 week now and I can totally see my scar lighten. it has a tone, a clarifying lotion, exfoliating cream, rejuvinating cream and a cleansing bar. also has an age eraser cream that can also be used as a foundation with spf:)

You can also go to a dermatologist and they might recommend "epiduo",I use epiduo and cause I have really really bad acne but I have to say epiduo really works good so I really suggest you go see your dermatologist👌
