I was currently using the Aveeno Acne Bar Soap. They have
disconntinued the line. Why do you use?

I spent $7 buying 7 (a week's worth of) microfiber cloths (the ones I
bought are Spontex brand, sort of silky textured. But otherwise they
are just basic microfiber cleaning cloths (as for glasses or monitors,
etc)). It takes off all my makeup without soap and cleans well. I've
stopped using cleansers and my skin is better than ever. I tried water
only cleansing or natural cleansers (in the past), but they never worked
for me. These microfibers work great, cleanse well, and there's no film
left on my skin. I use a clean one every day, and once a week do a
separate laundry load for them (so they don't lint up, apparently)..
They should last me a year, I think.

I will keep one cleanser, just for odd days that I need it, but I think
I'll get rid of my other stuff.

I use Neutrogena Gentle Scrub twice daily and finish off with a healthy
smathering of Clinique Total Turn Around Cream.

<gasp> you mean Lauksna gave up Neutrogena AW-AB cream?!

Yep! The second tube of it I bought gave me no results and I started
breaking out a little bit. Weird! Product inconsistancy? So, I received a
sample of the clinique stuff with a macy's order and it changed my face so
much my BF actually said something (9 years and that was his 1st comment!).

Wow! I haven't bought another tube of the AW-AB, but I *would* buy it,
just haven't been using any aha or bha lately. Bummer, I hope they
didn't change the formula!

I'm going to buy Green Cream or Affirm 2x, for my next retinol product.
Probably the Affirm b/c I can find it much cheaper..

I use Johnson and Johnsons Clean and Clear... I was using Clearasil's
Ice Wash, but my Derm said it was too strong.

The ONLY "soap" I can use is Purpose . I've tried other things, but I
always come back to the Purpose. While it doesn't cure acne at least
it doesn't seem to aggravate it. Just my HO.

MyChelle Cranberry Cleanser.

ditto, J+J's clean and clear is still working wonders for me 3 months in...

Yeah....my Derma recommended it and said all that other stuff I've been
using has been too strong. It seems to be working really good...I am
just hoping everything else I am now using works good also. It's been 2
weeks since I have been on the new Med's and so far so
good......everyone tells me my face looks almost 100 % clear. I am just
worried it's not for long.

Which J n J Clean n Clear wash are you speaking of? The one with 10% BP?

No......the plain one without anything.....just antibacterial face
cleaner.

Cetaphil (am)-I'm almost on my 12th week of Retin A Micro, so my skin
gets very easily irritated. I find this cleanser to be very gentle.

Olay Gentle Foaming Face Wash w/ Aloe (pm)- I like this b/c it's very
sudsy, and leaves my skin feeling clean & soft. No "squeaky clean"
effect, but it still takes off all my makeup. I also like the fact
that it is dye-free, fragrance and oil-free.

i'm using the one with 10% BP.. its very strong.. and i'm sure too strong
for a lot of people.. perhaps once a day is in order.. however.. i have
light irish skin.. and its really not that harsh on my skin.. which is
suprising.. probably because i'm using it solely.. and have stopped mixing
it up with other treatments.. it does get very dry now and then..especially
now in winter.. so a good moisturizer may also be in order now and then.
