    She never actually used it to my knowledge i read somewhere she was using something else at the time which led me to believe they paid her for to advertise their product.

    Well yeah, but I mean, she does the commercials. And I use it once in a while if i ever have a breakout and it works in a day, two max, just use it 10 mins before you sleep and your good to go.

    I've been doing this for about a week now, and it works.
    Wash your face. Take a lemon or 2 and squeeze out all the juice into a container or for one time use, then take a q-tip. Dip q-tip into the lemon juice then apply to the affected areas. Leave it there for 5 mins and wash it off, but not all of it leave some of it on, just not to much.
    Doctor came to our school and some asked. It's cheap, and actually works.

    wash your face with water really well and make sure all grease is off, do the same for your hands

    then take comet or ajax and make it into a paste on your face and leave it there for a few minutes and really rub it it. Be careful to avoid your eyes and other openings

    works wonders, but it's not advisable for those with dry skin.

    it likely does for those not wishing to destroy their skin and wishing to maintain a steady treatment routine, or at the very least it works better(IMO once a product has maintained unquestioned supreme market status they proprietor tends to slack, EG: Intel, Apple, Microsoft, so what was once true might no longer be true).

    but if you're skin is resilient and you want to kill the bacteria fast... nothing kills like a strong acid or base.
    hence why most acne creams use strong acids.

    Many people have used acid like xlink mentioned. Two of the most common ones or the ones I know are: Hydrogen Peroxide and Benzoyl Peroxide.

    To be honest, these proactive, ajax etc.. are nothing but crap. They help only a little, somewhat that is. You can't really cure acne, you can prevent it from breakouts.

    I was laughing at the fact that you suggested a cleaner to remove acne...but if you're serious and it works, then why not.

    I heard another great way to get oil n shiz from your face is like elmers glue on your face, let it dry, then peel t off..it gets black heads n junk out and it's scary to see the shiz it gets out. And, I have the --- active stuff but I think the normal stuff is a waste of time, the refining mask does everything.

    My mommy scrubbed lemon across my face when I had acne when I was young.. :lol:

    Try, Clean & Clear, Proactive etc.
    If those don't work, you can try the lemon? lol
    Everyone's body is different in some ways so its not certain EVERY method would work.
