Eloise_X 0 Posted June 18, 2007 Hey guys. I started using Retin-A maybe a month and a half ago, but I was wondering what type of face wash or soap would be the best to use with it? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen* 8 Posted June 18, 2007 Definately a mon-medicated one, (no salicylic acid), alcohol free (alcohol causes dryness, and may cause irritation if used with retina a), also a soap free one aswell do you live in teh UK or the US? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
janton 0 Posted June 18, 2007 Cetaphil is great. I also hear good things about Purpose soap. You gotta stick with "gentle" cleansers that, like mentioned above, do not contain any medications (salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide etc.) or cause dryness (the retin-a dries out your skin on its own, you dont want a soap to add to the problem ).

edddyyy21 1 Posted June 19, 2007 really a wash without salycilic acid or BP...dang ive been using oxy which contains a 2% with it for...a year now lol...and ive been clearing up but not completely...u think switching off of a salycilic acid would push me to clearing up??

Hey. Thanks, I think I will switch over to a non medicated face wash! I live in the US. What about you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
