Usually, I break out when I'm stressed or about to me stressed. I've been using this CLEAR PORE CLEANSER AND MASK by Neutrogena and I havent seen a zeech since a month now.
My face is smooth and soft right now. LICKABLE. And it doesnt just stop pinples from coming, it clears and fade away the spot. Really good. cheesy cheesy


It can be used as a daily cleanser and a 3-days a week face mask.

Hi Ladies,

Looks like I have found my sisters from another Mother  smiley smiley I have tried so many products due to having acne. Have had it on and off for 10 Years.The Cleanser I use  is Dermalogica MediBac Clearing Skin Wash, so far so good smiley   (their Moisturiser leaves my skin feeling tight)

I'm yet to get a good moisturiser that will help clear the blemishes as well as be sensitive to my face.I bought Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20 Two months ago  & it started breaking me out again so it had to go, don't wanna start from scratch , funny thing is,  it has worked wonders for my cousin 

I have made up my mind that the moisturiser I buy should not break the bank !! Enough of this expensive mess  undecided
@ Mad_Max I will try the Olay regenerist, would like to try Neutrogena but I will not risk it been discontinued as you ladies are saying it is scarce.

Do you use makeup with your treatment?

Try to go without it for like a week or some. . . . free your poress, exfoliate, and cleanse it. Use a toner, dont use body cream. It increases the secretion of oil. . . . by the time you know it, your face will look like a bottle of ororo grin

I recommended the product above, it works on pimples. Not sure abt acne though

@ FL Gators  I use Compact powder or loose powder from CoverGirl or Maybelline after moisturing my face, That is as far as I go, I don't use any foundations at all.

I tried Proactive and It was too harsh for me It left my skin feeling extremely tight I remember I couldn't smile right.Different things will work for different people, have you tried Clinique’s 3 step programme ? Speak to a Clinique Sales assistant to match you up to the right products.[quote][/quote]

If you dont want premature wrinkles stay away from Clinque 3 step programme. Someone saw one of the attendants using the toner to clean their desk shocked thats how harsh that thing is.

maybe she mistakenly spilled it on her desk!!!!!
Re: Product Reviews: Stop Wasting Money! Beauty Products That Actually Work by Nobody: 4:18pm On Dec 11, 2009
@Megtin,

How is your skin now? Clinique products are only good for people with normal skin. Acne prone skin folks should stay away because its actually quite dangerous, I should know, I used it for 2mths and my skin didnt recover for months. Now I use a cheap cleanser and moisturizer

No oh, they actually saw her put the product on tissue paper and wipe the desk shocked No lie. Their product is toxic for acne prone skin.

thats terrible o! i do agree though abt ving no visible results using their acne products cos up until early last yr i was breaking out seriously & cldnt understand y cos i never used to ve pimples so i bought their 3step kit for acne, their consultant assured me that my face wld go back to normal but it did nothing for me, i of course tried so many other products but at the end of the day i was like enough is enough, i just started using a basic cleanser(neutrogena oil free acne wash) & my pimples were gone, havent had a break out this yr wink

Nice. . . . the CLEAR PORE by neutrogena works as a mask and as a cleanser.

Good Lord !! that is serious shocked Thank God it didn't ruin my skin  !! I want to age gracefully but premature wrinkles  "your time is not yet here" .
I was using the 3 step Program for about 6 months STEP 2"Combination Oily to Oily Skin". I normally give a product 6  months  if don't see any improvements I try something else.
after Clinique I changed to Kiehl's Blue Herbal Gel Cleanser which I used for over a year.The highlight for me has been Dermalogica which I have now used for over 3 years,I  hardly breakout anymore but When it's that time of the month one or two Pimples appear but as we know there is nothing we can do about that.

I'm sorry I don't have a clue on how much the 3 step costs in Naija check this site out http://www.stylezbeauty.com/index.php?productID=111

But I have to say after the shocking revelation mentioned by Ebonyeyes I'm at a loss for words.

Will be looking to get  Olay regenerist this weekend and see how that goes

Simplicity is sometimes the best when it comes to skincare, im using a basic cleanser and moisturiser and my skin has never been better. All these over-priced products are rip-offs

My dear Im shocked that product is still in the market, Its useless and toxic. Sucks being a woman especially at that time of the month angry angry grin

Didn't believe my eyes in Boots yesterday !!When did Olay products become so pricey? Olay regenerist is going for a good £23.00!!
I started having a monologue about how I have promised myself not to spend loads of money on a moisturizer ever again.
Maintaining a lady's face hurts the pockets either way.Imagine this is minus the cleanser,Compact powder,lipgloss/lipstick,eye liner & other things we love to apply on our faces.It's so easy being a man. Maintaining his face requires(1.)Dove soap & (2.)Nivea Moisturizer and depending on his aftershave this boys are good to go sad

neutrogena products dont lighten, u can try their oil-free acne wash, its a basic cleanser that comes in gel form & widely recommended too!!!! u ddnt say though if ur skin is oily, combination or dry
Re: Product Reviews: Stop Wasting Money! Beauty Products That Actually Work by shushu(f): 11:53am On Dec 14, 2009

Good job, ladies.

desireoge:

Please where can I buy Meladerm in Lagos?

Girl don't use Meladerm. It's too pricey and takes ages to work. You might have to use as many as six bottles to BEGIN to see it do anything and at almost $50 a pop, that's a lot to shell out. Although this seems to vary according to skin. What do you need Meladerm for? If it's hyperpigmentation, there are products that work better for a fraction of the price. It depends on your skin type,
