My name is Kyle and I am 15 almost 16 going into my junior year. I have moderate acne and didn't start to use acne helping products till my 9th grade summer. During this year I delt with my face starting with really flakey skin to the point I couldn't touch my face or flakes would appear. Starting in late February, early March my skin started to become REALLY oily. I feel like my acne would be doing way better if my face wasn't so oily. I use a CeraVe cleanser in the shower morning and night and I recently started to use Retin-A Micro 0.1% at night. Any suggestions on how to make it through the day with your face being oily? Do I need a different cleanser? Any feedback will be appreciated.
Hey man. I have the same issue, and to be honest it is only going to get worse if you don't treat it now. My acne started around the same age as you, and I always thought it would dissapear, only thing is it only got WORSE. But don't worry, the best tip I could give you is go to a dermatologist, they are the experts, buying all this over the counter products might help for a short amount of time but speaking from experience acne always comes back. Just listen to your doctor and be patient.

I have been to many dermatologists and everyone one of them just say, "Oh this will be an easy fix". The oily skin just continues to get worse. Thanks for the help!
