I used to buy a lot of Clinique but have discovered some other brands that don't use alcohol. Apparently alcohol can make the problem worse over time by drying out the skin and making it produce even more oil.

I still get the occasional spot. If I had an ongoing problem I would probably try one of MiEssences products. I love their garnet scrub... that would probably be a good thing to try. BB has links to MiEssence via the InLiven threads. Their delivery is always very quick too.
