hey everyone,

i've been on acne treatment since february 1st and i guess i have seen a LITTLE improvement ... not too much... my skin is very flaky and it is peeling off. this is very disgusting, unpleasant and embarrassing aswell... by the way i am using differin and so i've heard from other members that peeling of the skin is expected, so of course i did expect it. i do wear make up and when i put foundation with a sponge on my face my skin just becomes flaky (not in all spots, only where the acne treatment had been applied) .. and this is becoming frustrating. i have tried exfoliating and that has not helped...

any suggestion?

Hello

What Med's are you on? accutane?

im on accutane and it really does this to me too, skin is dry, tight and flaky

cetaphil moisturiser has been suggested, but coming from the US takes ages, i have tryed other things to relive the burning sensation i have, with the likes of sudocrem which made it worse and 'clean & clear' oil free moisturiser which burnt on application rather than soothed, i then did some research and found an intresting post about preperation h and how it can cool skin, im trying this now il keep you updated
