I have a little bit of acne on my face and I want a good acne wash to get rid of it. I don't want something over-drying or anything though that will cause my face to lose that glow I have :)

Basically,what you do is get a little dish and put a little bicarbonate of soda into it (as in enough to cover the bottom of the surface to the dish) then add some water to it, but literally just a few drops at a time until you have a paste. Take this and then paste it on you're face,although not too roughly as this will just irritate you're skin. Leave this on for about 5 mins and you should feel it starting to dry up, after this wash it off with water. This essentially completely clears everything outof you're skin that isn't helpful to it. So once you have applied that, use some kind of product such as mentioned by the other users like clearasil, although I would recommend one called Garnier Pure Active, and these will be more effective than usual because you have used the bicarbonate of soda beforehand.
This definately works,I used to do it twice a day, once in the morning and once at night, and would usually see and effect within two days, and within three or four my skin would begin to clear up completely.
If you are worried about your skin drying up just use the bicarbonate of soda and then a moisturizer because there will still be an effect, just not as quickly.

My friends say it works well, and Im going to definately get it soon too. If you didnt want to use it in the shower Im sure you dont need to be in the shower to use it. :-)

But it works well and doesn't dry out skin at all. Before I put on the mask, I use Cetaphil just to make sure I get all the dirt off my face only because I play sports.
So maybe, use a gentle cleanser and then a mask after.
