Acne products

[rydra_wong]

Okay, I've tried most things, up to and including Accutane, and in my thirties, I've more or less resigned myself to never completely growing out of my acne (cystic acne on skin that manages to be oily and sensitive simultaneously, lovely).

But I thought I'd ask the comm on the off chance, to see if anyone has any magic recs for products I haven't heard of.

Any secrets out there?

I have had fairly good luck with Neutrogena's line of acne control products such as their salicylic acid scrubs, lotions, and toners. Ditto for frequent facials that include a lactic acid peel component. (The facials have helped a lot, btw.)

Like many people, I do experience additional oilienss with with products that contain alpha and beta hydroxies. However I like the acne-control properties enough to keep on using them and just counter-act the oil with anti-shine mattifying gels from places like Sephora.
