If your acne is very bad, or you're getting cysts or scarring, you should see a dermatologist. Call today because many good dermatologists have waits of several months. In the meantime, use these products to get you started in the right direction. Please also see my Acne In Depth article.

If you're not sure whether this regimen is right for your skin profile, take the Acne Test or the more detailed Skin Care Test.

If you're young and have very oily and very acne prone skin, then this regimen should help. I put together a complete skin care product kit that targets oil and acne control. You can buy as a kit all together or individually. And good luck!

Bird of Paradise

All Products: $146.95	I chose the products in this Kit for serious acne and oil control and acne repair. The regimen gives you an alpha-hydroxy cleansing gel, specialized acne and oil treatments, and a sunscreen that won't clog your pores. It's best to use these products together in a regimen, but you can also browse through the individual products below.
Morning Products
$20.90	Cleanser/Oil Control and Acne Care MD Forte Glycare Cleansing Gel Oily/Acne/Budget Saver - This is a potent alpha hydroxy-based cleansing gel that fights acne.
$11.95	Oil Control and Acne Care Solvere Acne Clearing Gel Oily/Acne Prone - This benzoyl peroxide-based lotion helps to dry up oil, kill the bacteria that aggravate acne, and keep the pores from clogging. Use with a salicylic acid product for optimal results (like the Dermalogica Oil Control Lotion). Sometimes stains pillowcases - best used in the mornings.
$36.00	Oil Control and Acne Care Dermalogica Oil Control Lotion with Salicylic Acid Oil Control/Acne - This lightweight lotion is compatible with other oil control products and helps to create a matte finish that lasts much of the day. Contains salicylic acid, which helps to dissolve blackheads and whiteheads.
$49.50	Sunscreen/Oil Control and Acne Care Colorescience SunForgettable Powder SPF 30 - All Clear Daily/Water/Sports/Melasma - This is a great invention, and I use it all the time. It comes in a small tube, with a self-contained brush. You just shake the powder down, and brush on the powder. The powder stays on your skin, and the high zinc and titanium content gives you great UVA and UVB blocking. Great for a humid climate (or oily skin), because it goes on dry and leaves no oily, greasy sheen. Expensive, but worth it. Layer it over a sunscreen lotion for maximum protection at altitude or in intense sun.
Evening Products
$20.90	Cleanser/Oil Control and Acne Care MD Forte Glycare Cleansing Gel Oily/Acne/Budget Saver - This is a potent alpha hydroxy-based cleansing gel that fights acne.
$35.00	Oil Control and Acne Care Dermalogica Skin Refining Masque - drys oil and acne Oil and Acne Masque - This clay based masque can be used daily and helps to dry up oil and heal acne. For extra oil absorption. It takes about 5-10 minutes. Use this at night for 5-10 minutes after washing and before an AHA lotion or a retinol.
$36.00	Oil Control and Acne Care Dermalogica Oil Control Lotion with Salicylic Acid Oil Control/Acne - This lightweight lotion is compatible with other oil control products and helps to create a matte finish that lasts much of the day. Contains salicylic acid, which helps to dissolve blackheads and whiteheads.

Product of the Month

Moisturizer

Replenish Hydrating Cream

Fall brings dry skin with central heating and dry air. Time for a good moisturizer. The drug store brands, like Cetaphil, CeraVe, and Vanicream are great. And if you want something a bit more elegant, that goes on very creamy but not heavy or oily, this Replenish Hydrating Cream is great. Many of my patients swear by it. It's more expensive than the drugstore brands, but certainly less than the high-end moisturizers. Price: $45.00
