I use Paula choice pimple treatment for my occasional brake out and tea tree toner for the redness.

I use a product with benzoyl peroxide and I also have a microdermabrasion scrub from SeaRx that is incredible. Also WATER you will be amazed what drinking water does for your skin.

Proactive is very strong and drying and not everyone's skin can tolerate that, all acne kits use the same things to fight acne salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide you can find products with these ingredients that won't strip and burn your skin , Nutrogena deep clean cream cleanser, use a tee tree oil toner and spot treat with a benzoyl peroxide spot treatment or a stronger tee tree oil spot treatment, and moisturize always even if your oily, I like cerave moisturizer

Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer will be much more gentler. I also suggest using Dickinson's witch hazel toner which does a really good job at cleaning out pores. As a spot treatment I suggest Burt's Bees Acne Solutions Acne Spot Treatment. This works SO good and it literally makes my acne spots go away overnight.

Hey Priscilla well I got my tea tree receipt from Ms Traci so she would most definitely know more than me. But I notice it just helps with the redness. I have seen a dramatic difference from changing up my skincare routine (wash my face with my Mary Kay brush,tea tree toner, Paula choice chemical exfoliant, vitamin c serum and the Paula choice BHA 9 spot treatment.

I've tried everything, and I keep coming back to Clean and Clear Persa-gel. It can be drying, but it really shrinks blemishes. If you get large, deep blemishes Mario Badescu buffering lotion is the best stuff ever. I've sworn by it for 20 years. https://m.mariobadescu.com/Buffering-Lotion.

Whatever you do, keep it simple and moisturize. I know it sounds weird, but if your skin dries out it will over produce oil and make it worse.
