is it a good product? i have moderate acne and oily skin, will it make my skin less oily and control break outs?


right now i'm using benzyol peroxide 6% cleanser (generic triaz) and tretinoin cream 0.05%. the benzyol peroxide cleanser is kinda good at stopping break outs but it just makes my skin raw and dry

Olay foaming face cleanser for sensitive skin is what I currently use. Its really good. I use it once a day in morning. Wash your face with water at night not a cleanser and put on your acne cream. Your face should improve mine did as we have similar skin.

I don't use this, so I'm not commenting from experience, but I checked out the ingredients list, and it contains a few really comedogenic ingredients:

Sodium Myristoyl Sarcosinate (a "chemical cousin" of isopropyl myristate, which is a 5 on the comedogenic scale)
Sodium Laureth Sulfate (a 3 on the comedogenic scale)
Laureth 10, which is likely bad, though not tested. ("Laureth"s range from 3-5 on the scale)

(Oh - incidentally - I worry that because rose hip seed oil is contains palmitic acid and stearic acid that it might be mildly comedogenic as well -- each of those are a 2 on the scale).
