I just bought Shea Moisture's African Black Soap for acne prone skin and it's supposed to work for excema too. In a week or two I should know if it really works. I'm breaking out on my arms, back and face.

Cetaphil is the only thing that worked for me / and it only worked like 50% of the time! Mine was so stubborn!

My doc told me I could continue using benzoyl peroxide. I did throughout my pregnancy and it kept my cystic acne at bay!

Cerave and I exfoliate with apricot scrub and do use the one with salicylic acid once a week. I tried belli with my first and it didn't do a thing for me.

I use cetaphil too but still have have been having breakouts here and there.

Came back to say for my face I use Cetaphil Wash then Green Tea Scrub then Tree Tea Oil Toner then Cetaphil Moisturizer.

I used the Nutragena Oil Free Acne wash. It helped, but I still broke out a lot (especially on my back!)

@pastemoo: I stopped using my Rx acne meds when I was TTC, and my skin was AWFUL my first tri. I tried Cetaphil and tea tree oil, Belli, Mario Badescu, and Dermatologica, and nothing made a dent. Finally I bought some Proactiv+ at the mall, and that did help clear up my face.

@pastemoo: I've been using the bar soap for a week now and I love it. The pink breakouts have turned into tan bumps that match myour skin. The soap does a good job of drying out the bumps and shrinking them too. I haven't used the soap on my face because I already had a routine for that, but I had a doosy bump on my chin/ neck and used it there to another magical result. While the soap doesn't prevent breakouts it's keeping my skin in check from looking grotesque.
