Thought I will share my experimentation results with interested folks :).
After fighting acne for more than 5 years, I finally found few things that works for me.
(1) St. Ives scrub containing 2% salicylic acid.. once every morning in the shower works really well for me.
(2) Clindac A gel as an after cream on acne prone areas provides the necessary after protection.
Hearing raving reviews about Proactiv from a couple of friends, I was tempted to try it for the absolutely clear radiant skin. Since I read salicylic acid may not work well with Proactiv, trying Proactiv alone without St.Ives scrub and Clindac caused few breakouts.
After reading Clindamycin phosphate has a synergic effect when combined with BPO, I am back to using Clindac along with Proactiv. So far .. the effect is good.. no new problems. BTW, I hardly use any moisturizers these days. Once in a while, I use Cetaphil.
I've seen exercising help in the acne reduction but I am too lazy to go regularly...hence my resort to the above skin care regime.
