$6.99 for an AHA product? That IS a great price. Wish we had Walgreen's here in Canada :-(

That's so interesting about ProActiv - it's such a polarizing product... 50% love it, 50% absolutely hate it. I wonder if it dried you out too much and the dry skin contributed to clogging your pores and causing breakouts?

Neutrogena cleansers are GREAT for acne. (I know Nadine Jolie and the beauty ed at Lucky love them.) Are you pretty clear now? I'm just wondering if your L'Oreal anti-aging cream might be a little too rich for you. Also I'm guessing the sunscreen is a chemical one (instead of a physical block like titanium dioxide or zinc oxide)... many people get breakouts from chemical sunscreens.

As for benzoyl peroxide - ok, I don't think it's absolutely terrible to use for a short period but I wouldn't make it a regular part of your skincare regimen. Over time I believe it really dries you out, and can change the texture of your skin for the worse. It's also an oxidant (and we want ANTIoxidants to counter all the oxidization we get from other things eg sunlight, pollution, etc).

I would say the cod liver oil is really the best bet to get inflammatory acne under control... if you give it about a month, I strongly feel it will lessen the need for anything too harsh on your skin. Make sure to check out the testimonials in the CLO thread in the comments - they are quite amazing! And if you try it please come back and let us know how you do!
