Hey guys, it's been exactly 2 weeks since I started the regimen. I'm using Clearasil Cleanser to wash my face in the morning and in the evening. Although I've got an extremely oily skin, I feel like it's making my skin very dry. Is this normal or are there better cleansers that might help the regimen get the best results?

Thanks in advance!

I tried clearasil and completely hated it!

Anyway, the dryness probably is caused by PanOxyl Gel. It's the worst thing you could possible use. I did the same mistake. Switch to Quinoderm, it has two strengths so make sure you buy the 5% version. Yes it is twice as strong as the PanOxyl Aquagel you are using, but it is much more gentle. Really, tried it myself. Just remember to start with little amounts.

If you want to change your facial wash, I would suggest either something without salicylic acid in it like Olay gentle foaming wash (link), or if you want something with SA in it then go for garnier deep cleansing wash (link) or this one (link). Superdrug has garnier on sale so you can get a bargain.
