I used to live in cali and I had darker skin there and had bad acne when I was in high school. Acne isn't bad now but I have blemishes. Specially down at my chin. I get pimples here and there. I've been using loreal step 1 and step 2. I was using step 3 (the lotion) but they discontinued making it. After using random step 3's my face hasn't gotten any better. I just bought garnier nutritioniste skin renew from target. Should I also buy the cleanser and stop using loreal? And how do I get rid of blemishes?? :confused:

as over publicized as it is, Proactive seems to work pretty good for me. I had problems really bad in high school, and now my skin has gotten 100x better. I still get the occasional blemishes... but that stuff does really seem to work. And don't try overscrubbing your face, because your body's just going to try and make up for all the oils it lost, and sometimes that means it makes too much... resulting in a huge pimple. Also drinking about a gallon of water a day-it helps a lot!! And not just your skin!

I used to use proactive but it doesn't work for me. I'm glad I found loreal because it cleared my skin up a lot from what it used to be. But now I want my blemishes to go away to have even tone skin.

My face is more on the oily side, so when I use mild cleanser it feels like my face isn't well cleaned. But I'll defenitely use sunblock and intensity cream. Thanks a lot!

Use Obagi. You can never go wrong with it. Though it's kind of pricey but it's worth it. The whole kit can last up to a year or so. :)

Kew kew thanks!

I'm medium dark skinned with dark spots left from acne. My skin heals at an average speed. I have been using natural lemon juice for one week at night - I just put it on my face for 3 minutes and then wash off with cool water and then go to bed. My face feels fresh. Apparently lemon is supposed to lighten as it acts like an AHA (alpha Hydroxy Acid). Hoping this will work for me and you (if you decide to try)!

If not, Spectro Gel 2.5% or 5% BP was great!
