I have always had oily skin but have been battling with acne over a year. They're ugly and make you self conscious. I've tried everything, expensive brands from sephora to reduce oil and shine. I've used glycolic acid, microdermabrasion, clearasil, chemical peel, salicylic washes, green tea bags, acnefree benzoyl wash, proactive, anti bacterial facial bar soap, astringent, toner, oxy pads, loreal 360, etc... Finally I have my face back after two weeks use and over a year search, a lot of make up and money. :) :)
