ok... i've said this before.. i'll repeat.. first off proactiv is a TOTAL
waste of money.. you can basically make a similar regime yourself with other
OTC's for much much cheaper..
secondly.. the C+C line is god. these are not perfect for people who are
sensitive to SA or BP.. but if you havent tried this line yet..you really
should....now.
there is still a huge buzz going on at acne.org about a regime suggested by
a guy calledd botchla.. its basically a slighly altered version of the
regime i'm always trying to push on here... it uses nothing but two C+C
products.. the main difference with botchla's regime and my own was i would
use them at alternative ends of the day.. botchla literally uses them in
conjunction at night.. i was always to afraid to do this..worried about
reaction or overdyring (i had read somewhere about not using SA+BP back to
back and it stuck in my head). anyway, just for the hell of it.. i tried
switching to botchla's regime instead.. and i'm amazed that his version
actually causes less dryness and irritation than my own.. even tho he does
use them back to back.. i cant really explain this.. it may just be that he
found a perfect combo of products in term of ingredients..
anyhow.. if you're in search of a new regime.. and know your skin can handle
both SA and BP.. take my word for it and give this regime a try, however,
keep in mind you may need to give it two weeks to see the real difference,
as always.

if you dont like SA, simply use a little C+C BP cleanser twice a day, this
alone will do you wonders.. if you're the lucky kind that has rhino skin
that deals with BP easily.. you can even try using SA+BP morning and night..
trust me, you'll be simply in awe of how soft your skin feels after
washing.. just be careful to apply the BP cleanser lightly and gently...
only use a little..and for gods sake..if spending anytime in the sun..get a
sunscreen.. this stuff bastes you for burning like a turkey.
i'm not going to lie and say by using these products you'll be cured.. i'll
state again that you cannot "cure" your acne using OTC.. however, by using
these products... and i always do go back to them... you can reduce your
acne i would say 80% easily.
hope this helps.
