Hello,

 

Looking for advice for my oily/combination skin.

 

My cheeks/jawline remain relatively dry while my t-zone gets very oily.

 

I'm currently using a good cleaner for my acne-prone skin but it does dry my skin out a little, especially if I'm dehydrated at all.

 

Anyways, Ive tried many moisturizers and have yet to find one that doesn't make my t-zone look extremely oily after a couple hours.

 

I am prescribed doxy and also use azeliac acid if this would affect any product recommendations.

 

Willing to try anything to help control the oil

 

Thanks

Sulfur/sulfacetamide lotion or wash, on T-zone only. It's prescription.

I have an allergy to sulfa drugs..would this affect me being able to use this medicine? I can ask my derm for her opinion

 

I could get re-tested to make sure my allergy still exists (its been since my childhood)

If the sulfa allergy still exists, then you can't use it 🙁 Which is a shame.
