Adult acne is undeniably on the rise. As a result, skin care companies are offering a variety of solutions. Some give you results, and some fall short of expectations.

Readers of AOL Health recently came together to provide you with their top product picks. Who came out on top? Dermalogica’s MediBac Clearing Sebum Clearing Masque!

This line is ideal for adult acne, which tends to focus around the jaw, chin and neck. MediBac Clearing products are ideal because they focus on maintaining oil and keeping skin hydrated. Many products in the line contains ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid to help with aging concerns as well. Sebum Clearing Masque, the big winner, helps clear skin and prevent future breakouts while refining texture. One reader says, “My skin started to clear up without drying effects”.

Here are the top 6 AOL winners:

1. Dermalogica MediBac Clearing Sebum Clearing Masque
2. Prescriptives Acne Defense Serum
3. Dr. Haushcka Normalizing Day Oil
4. Peter Thomas Roth Gentle Complexion Correction Pads
5. The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil
6. Clinique Acne Solutions Clarifying Lotion

Many acne products simply dry out the skin…this gives you initial results, but over time skin will start to over-produce oil to make up for the lack of oil caused by the products! AOL readers had complaints ranging from peeling skin, to burning sensations, to labels that over-promised and under-delivered.

Here are AOL 6 worst acne products:

1. The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Blemish Stick
2. Benefit Boo Boo Zap!
3. No. 4: University Medical Acne Free Clear Skin Treatments
4. Clean and Clear Advantage Invisible Acne Patch
5. Murad Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel
6. Proactiv Repairing Lotion

When looking for a line to treat acne, don’t just listen to hype, commercials, or celebrity endorsements! Find products that maintain oil and hydrate your skin. Reading online reviews and talking to friends can be a valuable resource, and save you the time of trial-and-error.
