I was using the Simple acne face wash line, but I wasn't having much luck with it (since I can't use my salicylic acid).

I JUST switched to Burt's Bees. I started using it this morning, but I've read great things about it.

I have adult acne and being pregnant has only made it worse. I wear no makeup to lessen my chances of break outs (and I'm lazy). So it's been a struggle for me, I'm hoping the Burt's Bees works for me.
:)

 

ETA: I'm not using the Burts Bees with salicylic acid. I'm using the soap bark & chamomille cream cleanser.

I use all Philosophy products. Once I switched to it, I've never been able to change brands! Also, it's very pure, so I had no worries about using everything (including body lotion) during pregnancy.

I hated that clean and clear crap! My face felt sticky after I washed it. I switched to a ponds gentle daily wash, like it so far.

Dove Sensitive fragrance free bar soap.  My skin was freaking out from all sorts of ingredients and this calmed it down. shrug

Cetaphil, and Aveeno facial scrub a few times a week. One of the only things that doesn't dry out my skin too much.

I have sensitive skin, so I used to use Dove (recc'ed by my dermatologist). Switched to Mary Kay for a while, but certain lines of products would make it break out (I still use their moisturizer). 

I tried proactive when I started breaking out while we were TTC and it worked great, so I still use it, even though my skin is clear now.

Same here, but I'm only using it every other day and I'm not using the additonal products like toner/spot cream.

Clinique 3 step (liquid wash, toner and moisturizer) + Clarisonic brush. The brush is the only thing I did different between my first 1 pregnancy and the other 2 is the Clarisonic and I had breakouts the whole first time and rarely the next 1 (and a 1/2).

Nothing was working for me until I started using a mixture of honey and lemon juice on my face. My horrid pregnancy acne is finally starting to clear up a bit! :)

I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub and I love it. Sometimes I use this papaya soap I get from the filipino grocery store.

Cetaphil and St. Ives Apricot every so often. It works well for me but my skin likes to be a speshul squirrel.

I use my Proactiv still, but switch it out with Arbonne products here & there because it dries out my skin. (though it has been successful at keeping break-outs at bay this whole pregnancy).

I use so many Origins products, a little pricey compared to drugstore but totally worth it to me. Love them.

I am trying the Belli acne face soap and acne spot treatment.  It seemed to be working for a little while, but I just broke out again in a major way on Friday with 3 new zits appearing after I got home from work that were not there in the morning.  I'm getting the cyst like pimples that really hurt and are impossible to cover up.  I'm getting really frustrated.  I've always had acne, but now it's the worst it has ever been.  I know it's hormones, but it makes me feel so ugly, I don't even want to leave the house.  It's nice reading all your suggestions ladies.  I need to try something new soon!
