I finally found a moisturizer that works really well! It's 'EltaMD AM Therapy Facial Moisturizer'. Mind you it's pricey, but it rates really low (<2) on the COSDNA rating. and It does a great job ...

You could try an oil like jojoba or hemp oil. Coconut oil seems to break a lot of people out and I have personally never heard of milk as a moisturizer. Jojoba oil (which is available on this site as...

Sorry to hear about your outbreak. I have heard of people getting acne from fish oil pills, especially if they are not of high quality they can even be rancid. What type were you taking? Never heard...

It usually takes 3-6 months to see the full effect of BP so if you have only been on it for a month then you need to give it more time. Don't give up on it and try something else just yet. You need ...

My daughter had moderate acne and her dermatologist told her not to use her clarisonic mia brush (which she had just bought!) because he said it would most likely not help her acne and could very poss...

I am not a doctor but it sounds to me like your acne is completely hormonal. I say this because the times you mentioned that your skin got worse, when you had an abortion or stopped taking birth contr...

  If the witch hazel contains alcohol then it is not good to use as it may just cause more irritation.   Why are you not leaving the benzoyl peroxide on overnight? It is probably having li...

Hi   I tend to agree with megtree, you seem to be using too many strong products at once.   My daughter was prescribed a retinol by her dermatologist and a bp product (Benzaclin) and was...

Hi, My daughter used the Eminence line of products for about 6 months (at the advice of the lady at the spa where she gets her facials) and this is what she found: -she like the way the products mad...

Which birth control are you on? Some actually make your skin worse so you need to be on the one that is right for your hormone imbalance.   Do you moisturize? Use any natural exfoliants? (ie. ba...

  My daughter used Aczone for three months and saw no improvement, but everyone reacts differently so it may work for you. Her dermatologist then put her on Benzaclin and within 2 months her fa...

Your acne is very mild and you are a pretty girl regardless.   Looks to me like maybe you just need to us a topical that contains either benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to dry up the small bl...

  Just wondering which birth control you are on because some actually do make acne worse (usually the ones that are high in androgens).   You can check on this site www.cosdna to make sure...

Hi You sound like my daughter, she had a lot of trouble finding a moisturizer that she likes, that didn't cause breakouts and was moisturizing enough after applying her topicals. But she found one ...

Try and not be too anxious because in my opinion stress can make your skin worse. Despite the many horror stories you read about people breaking out badly after going off bc pills (which I believe ar...

The facial cleanser that is sold on this site (as part of the regimen) is worth a try, it is good for oily skin and not too pricey. We have used it for a couple of years.

No problem! She used Aczone for 3 months (so her routine was - Aczone in the morning, Tazorac in the evening) but the Aczone did not help her active acne at all. So now she uses Benzaclin (routine - ...

LHARTWICK: Her dermatologist had her use the 'short contact method' (apparently this is a thing - you can even google it!) every other night for the first 2 weeks and then every night after that. This...

LHARTWICK: My daughter has been using Tazorac for about a year now and has seen great results, but it works slowly (painfully slowly!) It took her skin a few months to get used to it (without being r...

I agree with tracy521, your skin looks friggin awesome! if you are looking for a moisturizer I have just discovered one by eltaMD and I love it, and it contains no ingredients that can clog pores. Ju...

Hi My daughter was on Aczone for three months and did not see any improvement in her acne. There don't seem to be a lot of comments about Aczone so maybe it is not prescribed as often as other topical...

I am sorry to hear that you are struggling with your skin. My daughter went off birth control about 8 months ago and did a lot of reading up on how to get rid of her acne afterwards so your problem i...

Hi I agree with megtree about avoiding products with scrubs as they can just irritate your skin further. You can use SA and BP in combination if you want. If you do not have sensitive skin you can ap...

Have you tried jojoba oil? You can order it from this site or get it from a health food store. You can just apply it to the really dry areas or add it to your regular moisturizer and I have found that...

Hi My daughter was prescribed BP in the morning and Tazorac at night by her dermatologist so I think that you should be fine. He said that as long as she applies the BP and the Tazorac at least 10 ho...
