Best lotions face wash, and treatments for cystic or any other kinds of acne

Face washes are hard, they claim to to brighten, clear and repair your skin. But you have to remember you will be washing it off it two minutes so......  Yeah, its not going to do much.  But it is true a harsh cleanser will burn your skin and leave it dry and flaky. My skin is odd, its dry and flaky but gets a super oily layer on top.Gross yeah. Anyway I found some products to treat both and, I have tried many! The first is two cleansers, the first is aveeno ulta-calming foaming cleanser, its not drying at all contains no soap but cuts though the grease at the same time.Great stuff. The next is clean n clear morning burst (not the fruit fusion) you know the fun sparkly soap with the floating beads?, I used it for years and tried other soaps in between and always came back to this.
around 4$ at most stor

around $6.00 at most stores



    The next is lotion. CeraVe  is a nice light moisturizer that has  hyaluronic acid which sound scary but its not an acid at all. It brings water into your skin and makes it look plump and hydrated and,   Holds up to 1000 times its weight in water! I actually get the equate version so whichever you prefer. The second I talked about before is Triderma but its very thick so I would not use in the day.                               Hyaluronic acid also helps with rolling scars and can be bought in pure form on amazon. But Its now become a filler like botox and they claim it to be better because its something your body already produces. Its also available in a supplement.  
Around $5.00  at walmart
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        And now acne treatments. The first is Acnevir adult formula.It does not contain benzoyl  peroxide but instead contains resorcinol 2x     salicylic acid 3x sulphur 3x  its a clear gel but does have a slight smell from the sulphur. It reduces redness and does not dry your skin out.  The second is neutrogena on -the-spot cream that contains 2.5% benzoyl  which does not sound like a lot but it has been proven to work the same as 10% with out the irritation.                  
$7.50 Walgreens, Riteaid 

$4.50 Most stores
              And finally an astringent, the best is homemade and contains 1cup of witch-hazel   a 1/4 cup of water 4 drops of tee tree oil . 3 of lavender oil.  and 1 to 2 T of apple cider vinegar. Needless to say it will smell... BAD! But the tee tree is just as effective as benzoyl if used often and lavender prevents dark marks  and all four ingredients are antibacterial. The water just dilutes it a bit.   Let me know your favorite products!
