I have been using SA cleanser/Duac/Differin for while now with good results (less acne) but now i'm left with red and irritated skin especially around chin/nose (where I used to have acne).

I had better results using Acnefree (2.5%) but I still had irritation due to BP facewash and toner.

 

 

Do you think my redness would fade if I would switch to dan's regimen?  I'm kinda used to BP but still my redness won't fade, maybe by using dan's gentle cleanser and lowering bp concentration it would fade.

 

also, is jojoba oil really worth a try?

 

thank you!

Hi guys, I have been to my derm last friday due to redness.  I have been on Duac for a couple of months which cleared acne pretty quickly but did nothing or even might had cause redness.

She said that she couldn't do anything for it and I was kinda disappointed.  She said it's simply redness and not another condition. 

 

To my surprise, I had better results using Acnefree (still redness) than Duac, and wonder if I should go back on it or either try Proactive/Neutrogena.

 

I really wonder why I have those redness, especially around my nose/mustache and what to get rid of them.

 

thank you.

I have posted in the PIH section without any replies so i'll try here

 

 

i had very bad pustular acne around mouth area.  I used Duac once a day for a couple of months and now I'm 100% pimple free.

 

Problem is that it left red marks, rash and spots where my acne used to be.  it's been month and i don't see any improvement.

As you can see the marks are pretty obvious.  I thought for a long time it was irritation but the skin isn't stinging or anything.  I'm even using Duac every 2-3 days only to prevent acne.

 

I had fast and great result using duac but now i'm stuck since 3 months, my skin is not healing despite the fact that I have reduce my utilisation of duac to every 2-3 days.

 

I got prescribed Differin xp, and I wonder if it could help with those marks and general redness?

 

 

thank you!

Do you think i should start using SA wash or something during the day?  I also recently had a prescription of Differin that I am using every night but I would like to speed up the process.  I never used anything but BP (wash & gel) before and i feel like it's only helping with pimples and to prevent, but useless with PIH.

 

thank you!

Anyone has already dealer with that? I went to the derm who said I had mild acne/eczema, problem is that my acne usually appear on top of my red skin which makes it hard to treat.

Pimples free, but redness is making me crazy!

I thought it was Seb Derm, but derm said Mild Eczema and prescribed me Ketoderm cream 2% for 4 weeks twice day.

I'm kind of confident that the ketoderm will works but scared to see what is going to happen when I will drop it.

Thinking about buying; http://reviews.aveen...ews/reviews.htm
which has a tons of good reviews, so I could use it as a moisture before going to bed.

It's been 2 years that I'm dealing with that, kind of tired, treating acne very easily but haven't find anything to treat that.
In fact, I think the eczema is the root of my acne. I don't have eczema anywhere else tho.

thanks for helping, would like advice!

edit: the ointment with the Ketoderm cream had also a 1% hydrocortisone mixed with, so I don't want to use it longer than 2 weeks
