What are the best lotions for acne prone skin?

Anybody any Idea what the best accellerator would be for acne prone skin. Some lotions are just too thick and make me break out. Im building colour at the moment so just need a plain accelerator. just wondered if anyone on here has the same problem and could recommend a lotion.

Re: What are the best lotions for acne prone skin?

Hmm. Have you tried Fiji's Hidden Treasures? I bought some of this for my boyfriend last year, and I also use it myself. It's an unscented accelerator, and it's not thick or greasy at all - I think it's even formulated for sensitive skin.

I also have Body Drench's UV Amplifying tanning lotion (the one that smells kinda like baby powder). That is also non-greasy on me, but it is a little "thick". It's hard to describe... but not greasy.

Good luck! :)

Would love to try them but I cant find any Fiji or Body Drench at my salon. My salon only carries SB, EB, CT, Supre.

I am still trying to find one but I will tell you that DS Amazing Face broke me out bad. I want to try the CT7 face next.

CT7 face is fantastic, It never breaks me out and gives great colour even after one use.

Im looking for a general accelerator that doesnt make me break out on my back and shoulders where by skin is most acne prone.

Re: What are the best lotions for acne prone skin?

I have the same problem on my back. If a lotion is too heavy, or sticky, my back breaks out like crazy! Right now, I am using CT Minx, which does not make me break out.
I had SUpre's Extreme somethiing-rather, which didn't break me out, but I din't like the results either, so I'm not recomending it ;)
The worst offenders were AG & SB products. I don't know what's in them, but my back doesn't like it.

Sorry for bumping this. I just ordered Designer Skin's "Vanishing Act" facial lotion. I'm so excited. It's supposed to clear your skin and give you a good tan.

Cal Tan reps have told me none of their lotions clog pores. I don't know how true it is.
