Yes, especially since the SA at NM loves me and always gave me free samples.

I've recently switched to Peter Thomas Roth's Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel and it seems to work well so far. I don't use it for the anti-aging stuff (whatever it is), but for the glycolic and salicylic acid combination. Most cleansers have only one of the two or neither when really they should have both.

Spectro-Jel. None of the harsh ingredient of other face washes.

I'm interested in recommendations, too.

I would recommend checking out Cerave if you have sensitive skin. I used to use Cetaphil but I kept breaking out randomly. Cerave is really gentle and seems to do a great job for me.

I use imitation Cetaphil.

It does what it's supposed to do which is cleanse. For other stuff like blackhead removal and exfoliation I use a 2% salicylic scrub (imitation Clean and Clear). Seems to work fine.

I used to use St Ives Apricot scrub almost everyday but apparently it was too harsh for my skin because it'd be dry and flakey.

acne.org is a good reference for this sort of stuff...

short version is do as little as possible to aggitate your skin (dont scrub, be gentle, wash/clean/etc as little as possible), use a cleanser (cetaphil bar as others have said), use lots of benzoyl peroxide, and a moisturizer (oil of olay with 15 spf). do it once in the morning with your show and once before bed. stick with the routine, whatever it is you choose for a couple months before you decide it doesnt work.

I second this one as I used to use this for quite a while with good results.

I have currently been using Olay Clear Foaming Face Wash or their Age Defying with good results as well.
