Reader Question: What’s a great (and cheap) face wash for acne-prone skin?

So I’ve been getting a lot of questions about skincare lately.  My reader, “C”, says:

Hi Jamie,

I loooove your blog!  You always feature amazing products!  Lately I’ve been breaking out a lot but I’m completely broke.  What’s a good face wash for my skin if I break out a lot?

Personally, I’m a believer that a classic is a classic for a reason.  Neutrogena’s Oil-Free Acne Wash is a long time favorite of beauty editors, bloggers and consumers alike.  The packaging isn’t pretty or flashy but this stuff really does the trick with it’s pimple-fighting ingredients like 2% salicylic acid.  Even though most acne fighting products are made to destroy oil and will usually dry out the skin, my normally dry skin stayed moisturized and zit-free while using this.  However, the trick to fighting acne is finding a good skincare regimen and STICKING to it.  So C, if you decide you like the Oil-Free Acne Wash, make sure you use it consistently to see results!  Good luck and let me know how it goes. =)

Xo,

Jamie

Kairos Acne Care




So I get a ton of press releases and pitch letters every day but when I saw an email about the new brand Kairos Acne Care, I was intrigued after realizing that I was being pitched the first-ever hair care line developed to help treat acne. What a lot of people don’t realize is that the neck, back, jaw line, chest and face are all susceptible to breakouts, no matter how careful you might apply products to your hair. As someone who had a two year bout with adult acne, I really wish these products had been around a few years ago. Kairos was developed to provide salon-quality hair care benefits without the acne-irritating side effects of typical hair care. Check out the line and let me know what you think. Remember, these products can’t replace a good skincare regimen but they’ll definitely help you fight the good fight.
