Advice/tips for a clear complexion?

i've been dealing with acne off and on for years now. i took accutane and my face looked great and then it all comes back and i keep going back to it, but it's pretty risky for your body. and i swear i've tried basically everything from proactive to all these pointless drugstore products, been to the dermatolagist. i tried changing my diet and that worked because i drank 8 glasses of water a day but wow i had to literlaly FORCE myself to drink thoes 8 glasses and idk i just really want to have a clear complexion.





oh, and my current face routine is:


morning -


st.ives apricot scrub


aveeno positvely radient spf 15





night -


clinique's mouse foaming cleanser


ponds dry skin cream (though i dont have dry skin i just needed something extra moistuising, my skin type is normal sometimes dry)

I wish someone could help you but if you can't maintain a clear completion after accutane than you really need to talk to the dermatologist some more about maintaining a clear complexion after accutane.Advice/tips for a clear complexion?
Ok...


first of all, no more apricot scrub. It is harsh and only irritates your skin. Also, no more st. ives radiant moisturizer. It is not gentle at all and can cause harsh irritants. Start washing your face with a mixture of oatmeal and honey. Blend the mixture, and add a bit of extra virgin olive oil. Put it in a container, preferably one with a pump. You can find a container like this at a dollar store or Target. For moisturizer, wet your hands a little, then apply a mix of extra virgin olive oil to the skin. After a minute, wipe off any excess with a cotton ball. Use very little olive oil though, because you don't want to look greasy. The oil does not clog pores or irritate your skin. Even though you hated drinking the water, keep trying!!!! Drinking green or black tea can also clean up your complexion by purging antooxidants from the skin. Also, try Nature's Cure acne treatment. It comes with chewable tablets and benzoyl peroxide. Use this along with the natural skincare regimen, and you will have wonderful skin in no time.
benzoyl peroxide is the most effective over-the-counter acne treatment. buy a tube of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide . It really works great buts its kind of drying.
