I use Retin-A and experience dry, flakey skin. I keep a bottle of Lily of the Desert Aloe Vera Gel and pure vegetable glycerin in the refrigerator. I squeeze out about 1/4 teaspoon of the aloe vera ...

I love that the De La Cruz 10% sulfur ointment is unscented. I was looking this morning for an unscented sulfur soap, and found one I'd never noticed before called Cuticare. I wondered if anyone her...

Anything? Nothing? Okay! Maybe if you copy and paste the ingredients more will respond. If the active product is salicylic acid, it is probably no more than 2% with a 4.0% pH, which is not enough t...

Thanks for posting the details of your new toner! It looks like you put a lot of thought into the ingredients. What results do you notice when you use it? (I've found that the unbleached cotton pad...

Have you tried salicylic acid? There was a thread about a year ago about someone solving this exact condition with a high strength salicylic acid and hemp oil. I'll try to find it.

I also agree that using all three will most likely be too drying. My teenage son got clear from jjust using the De La Cruz ointment. He left it on overnight and wasn't in the habit of washing with a...

My husband recently had localized outbreak of Shingles, and his doctor prescribed zinc oxide cream to heal the break out. He picked up a CVS brand with 40% zinc oxide and it worked very well but smel...

So maybe the blender is making it ineffective? My derm told me to mix them.   Does your derm know that you are also using the sulfur products? What strength Retin-A are you using?   No...

I am loving my new recipe for this toner! It's simply 1/2 green tea and 1/2 aloe vera (Lily of the Desert inner fillet). Since the aloe is a gel, the mixture is easy to apply without any dripping. ...

Thank you for the link gingergirl22. Onefatalgoose, we have an inbox trail. I'm updating with a picture. My routine the past couple weeks: clinique cleanser (Am/pm) dermologica active moist (my favori...

Here's a link to a thread about Tea Tree Oil: Message #4 addresses dilutions.

My understanding is that it would be highly irritating to use both Retin-A and Sulfur, but if you aren't having that reaction, maybe you just need to wait a little longer to see results. From what I ...

When I researched Retin-A I read that it shouldn't be combined with Sulfur products.

Thanks for all your suggestions! He is FINALLY past the itchy phase (it was hell until a doctor prescribed him a relaxant and he slept through the itchiness) and approximately one hundred of scabs ar...

My son is 15 and he has been battling acne for years. He was starting to get clear and BAM, he gets Chicken Pox. I can't find much on the web about how to treat the hundreds of scabs that have forme...

i have done the following: clinique cleanser (am/pm) coconut oil (am/pm) retin-a spot treat (3-4x a week) OR proactiv clay mask spot treat (on days I dont use retin-a). I usually alternate. I just sta...

I just noticed some huge single leaves at my local Food Co-op. The label says they are from a grower in Southern CA called Aloe Barn. I was wondering how to extract the juice from the leaf and found...

Your skin definitely looks less inflamed. Are you still following the same routine you described in your first post onthis thread or have you changed it in the last two weeks?

Thanks so much for your detailed response! You've inspired me to look into the Micro. And congratulations on your success!

If the cream was originally formulated for acne, and there was success with it, then why would it clog pores? I read that the benefits it provides for people without acne but who had wrinkles, discol...

@gingergirl22, I started about 5 weeks ago, however, since about the time I started this thread, the baking soda (or something) dried out my chin really really badly to the point of me needing some fo...
