Clean and Clear deep action cream wash works well for clearing up greasy skin etc and for prevention of spots and blackheads I use Clean and Clear Blackhead clearing cleanser and these two work really well personally, hope this helps :)

we don't even need to exfoliate or shove chemicals on our faces, especially when we're younger - our skin does it for us..

i found cleansers gave me more spots, i liked the 2in1 by neutrogena the best though (prob cause it dried the **** out my skin, spots didn't stand a chance)
depends your type of skin, mine is quite oily so i'd use claybased products.
if you're looking for exfolation DON'T go for ones that say they restore the ph of your skin >.> my mum did cosmetology and said people mistakenly think it's a good thing but it's just a marketing scheme.

just figure your type of skin (dry, oily, combination, sensitive) and google the best products. i prefer natural stuff myself.

Thanks that really helps :)
I think I might just use neutrogena, clean and clear did no good and I'm too scared to use clearasil, it doesn't help that much people.
Thanks anyway guys x

I use neutrogina 2 in 1 (Face mask or face wash) I use it as a face mark every time I have a show & that works really well. It clears greasy and oily skin good & keeps spots at bay (better than not cleaning your face at all anyway)

However it does make your face quite dry, but there are a lot worse products on the market

I wasted about 80 euro on different clearasil/neutrogena/clean & clear face washes and products because my skin was so bad and all they seemed to do was irritate my skin, and make my face really dry and sore. When I stopped buying them my skin got way better. Idk maybe its just my skin. Now all I ever wash my face with is just a soap for sensitive skin which doesn't irritate my skin at all and it way cheaper :]

I agree with Jen, natural is the way to go. I find when ever I start using chemical based products my skin always gets much worse and dry. For a while boots had a completely natural range, called amie. (http://www.amieskincare.com/default.aspx) I would recommend all their products apart from the make-up remover and the moisturiser, as neither of them were very effective. I find their exfoliater really good, it really made my skin feel refreshed. According to the website you can still buy it at superdrug and boots. It is quite expensive, but I would deffo say worth it. The percentage of natural products in it is really good and it's not tested on animals which is always a plus for me.

i use dead sea natural black mud mask soap (http://www.boots.com/en/Dead-Sea-Natural-Black-Mud-Mask-Soap-90g_7633/) which you put on your face whilist in the shower, wait for around 3 minutes until it's hardened then wash off. i do this probably every other day and then use dead sea natural mineral soap (http://www.boots.com/en/Dead-Sea-Natural-Mineral-Soap-90g_7637/) just for general washing and my face. my skin feels purrrrrfect and can't remember the last time i had spots or anything. i find that the mask deffo clears up the face as it uses natural ingredients and ****. deffo thought clearasil and the rest of em weren't that good as all they do is make my face really dry, whereas using natural ingredients doesn't strip the skin of the natural essential oils, but replenishes the missing ones and are generally better.

The general answer to the question is: NONE.

Nothing works better than hot water and soap. I've never actually had a serious case of spots because I cover my face in soap and simply wash it off with hot water morning and night. Why pay like £5 for facial scrubs and other garbage? Don't believe the hype of that stuff, it actually doesn't work.

Your face isn't a chemical battleground.

Just use a regular bar of soap + hot water. (personally, I don't use hot water due to lack of a water heater.) If you have problems with dry skin, then use a moisturizer or change your soap to a more softer brand. If you can get some, try lemon soap.

Also, change your pillowcase everyday. It will do wonders.

soap is quite harsh and will really irritate your skin. water works best (might be oily for two-three days but it'll work), obviously if you're wearing makeup you need a cleanser - i actually find baby wipes are good enough. get something really mild though, i never wear moisturiser because it makes my face greasier quick. if you have spots already it's worth trying to get rid as much as you can before just using water. if you do have to use definitely go for natural stuff.

besides that the normal advice is drinking loads of water, fruit + veg. seriously makes a difference to your skin.

Remember, what ever skin product you use, you need to use it everyday to achieve & keep good results, you can't just use it once and expect the results to last.
