text: how do you take care of acne without proactive. make sure its cheap but works? im starting to get acne and want to control it. your skin is olily. so make sure that any product you use is oil free. it would also be great for your skin to get moisture and water. find a moisturizer with "lanolin". this helps the skin absorb water. and dont use anything on your face that has alcohol. i use clean and clear, which has no alcohol in it, its just a cleanser. get anything that is "anti-microbial". that will clean all the germs that is exacerbating your acne. any type of exfoliating cream would be great to get too.
