Best Acne Wash

It's pretty hard to have one product to fight Acne, especially if you have you have Body Acne too. Most people talk about Acne products use 394304923 products just to keep Acne in control. This includes a specific moisturizer, face wash, toner and some sort of spot cream, acne mask, exfoliator etc. etc.
There are so many products out on the market and even the ones that cost $$$$ aren't fit for everyone!
I have used a ton of products myself, and sometimes they work very effectively and sometimes they dont so much.
Here's a product that i've witness perform miracles! My sister's secret:
My sister's not the biggest skincare expert and will spend money on the dumbest things. Sometimes I feel like its a waste of my life to advise her on anything...
Due to meds, and prob her diet she was breaking out like crazy. and I mean CRAZY. She was definitely wearing alot of make-up and not washing her face properly or even taking care of her skin..
She tried diff things, including prescription drugs, and antibiotics- Doxycycline. I've taken this once or twice but it makes me hurl. So yeah pass.
Doxy definitely helped her but this particular wash cleared up her skin almost IMMEDIATELY! I was shocked to see the difference. Almost really jealous! I have some sort of weird allergic reaction to Benzoyl so I can't use, ( trust me Ive tried) but in anycase 10% BP is very effective and this wash is for Face, Chest and Back. She washes her face 2x a day, hardly wears makeup now, and her skin is freaking amazing!!
If you have issues with Acne and don't have issues with BP its probably the best BP product out there! Available at local pharmacies! MSRP: 10.00

She recently bought it for a friend and my niece too..
* If your skin does dry out, use it every night but if not then 2x a day!

ACNE BE GONE!

So I, like many people, suffer from Acne- and unfortunately this method, hasn't worked for me but (as I have mentioned previously-those products do solve a lot of problems that come with Acne, i.e. discoloration, scarring, marks, whiteheads, blackheads, flaky skin etc.
I have come across many sources including GOSSMAKEUPARTIST-on Youtube.com as well as ACNE.ORG that would back this up.

First use a:- Mild cleanser, the less chemicals the better. Many people have recommended Cetaphil. I have both the regular one and the sensitive one- One is foamier, while the other one is lotionish- or a milk cleanser- or a soap bar (glycerine based preferred or Olay/Dove) usually work really great.

Use a Benzoyl Peroxide Topical ( this does not work for me because I'm fairly positive I do have an allergic reaction towards BP. I usually get super blotchy and a bit swollen in the face with a small application, therefore I can not use it. Apply all over area instead of just on spots.. generously. This comes in 10% or 25%. I recently found out Walmart carried it in the generic brand and it is not costly AT ALL. (Benzoyl Peroxide kills bacteria that lies deep inside the epidermis that cleansers may not get to, although you will experience dryness, using an emollient moisturizer + sunscreen will help minimize excessive dryness. 

Third- Use Moisturizer as well over sunscreen.

This should bring your acne down DRAMATICALLY.

I told my sister about this a few weeks ago. She had whiteheads/papules all over her face especially from cheek to jaw line. Shes a bit lazier but has done this all week with a few natural masks, in the past 2-3 days and it has gone dramaically! Mind you, this is someone crazy who just went to the Derm, and was recommended ACCUTANE! for the 2nd time. :S

She was gonna start on an Accutane regimen, with antibiotics (oral) and  Retin-A topical= HOTMESS for 2-4 months before even her skin gets to a decent place.

 If you have specific questions for this regimen, or acne products please leave them below!!

** This regimen is super affordable and can make a huge difference on your skin and in your life!
