Regimen that cleared up your dark spots & kept acne at bay

[FtrDrO]

I know that usually people ask for a specific product that helped to fade dark spots or kept away the acne. Once they try it, sometimes they find that it doesn't work for them. This is because usually, its not just one thing, but rather a combination of steps that was maintained over an extended period of time that lead to success. So, ladies, please share the details of the regimen that you follow/followed that you attribute to fading your dark spots and/or keeping your acne at bay, so that those of us still struggling can get where you are. :yep:

Two things: Murad Acne Complex and Himani Tumeric Cream w/24 Kt. Gold

I use the Murad Acne Complex as recommended per the instructions and apply the Himani Tumeric Cream just before I go to bed and in the morning after the Murad Acne Complex but before my moisturizer/sunscreen.

ETA: My skin became perfect and I slacked off with both products for about 6 months. I'm having a breakout now but I am back using both and I see great improvement. I'm not leaving this alone anymore.

I just recently discovered Kiehl's:
Rare earth Oatmeal milk cleanser
Calendula alcohol free toner
Blue herbal moisturizer (moisturizer has salicylic acid and shine mattifyiers)
I used these products for a week and I started to see results, no more breakouts and my blemishes cleared

At night I used Neuatrogena's Dermatologics (I saw a commercial and odered the products online.) when you go online they ask you a series of 20 questions about your skin and lifestyle and previous products that you use.
It's a salicylic acid gel cleaner and a light medicated moisturizer.

I am not going to reorder b/c I happen to like Neutrogena's drug store brand stress free acne treatment scrub even better and it costs only $6

Anyway 6weeks later no breakouts and no blemishes!!!

acne.org regimen (http://www.acne.org/regimen.html)!!!

and nadinola as a moisturizer

it's the only thing that has worked for these stubborn dark spots & acne

ETA: F.A(Anyone's).I- the nadinola has 3% Hydroquinone, which seems like a lot of people can't tolerate, are allergic, or just doesn't work for whatever reason. Just a heads up.

The regimen looks interesting. So E, do you use the acne.org Cleanser and the Benzoyl Peroxide?

^^^Oh, ok thanks. How funny, I use Cetaphil sometimes but most times I use the sensitive cleansing cloths by Olay.

OT - Your hair is beautiful!

I actually looked at this before, but never tried it. Maybe i'll give it a spin. How do you use the nadinola? as a spot treatment or all over?
