The best sunscreen I've found is Lumiplexion Daily Definitive SPF 30. It has a very light moisturizer to it, but during the winter I use both the SPF (first) and then a separate moisturizer. This is...

SPF 16 isn't strong enough for being out in the sun all day. It should be fine for being in the sun for a few minutes here and there throughout the day and driving, but definitely not if you're going...

You go with the ratings, Ron. I go with the fact that it has pore-clogging ingredients and breaks many people out in whiteheads.

Cetaphil breaks many people out. Cerave is a bit better but not much. You're going to need to learn what ingredients to look for and do research of what is available to you. Personally, I use black...

Thank you, Mommabear. I appreciate the information

My daughter was tested and found to have mildly higher levels of testosterone. She has been battling with acne for several years. The endocrinologist who I spoke with about the results said she coul...

I agree with AyeAye. AHA has always done that to me as well. I do not agree with diluting it with moisturizer unless your skin absolutely cannot tolerate the 10% straight.

Theoretically, BHA (sal acid) is better for clogged (deeper) skin and AHA (glycolic acid) is more about peeling off the fine layer on top to help refine the skin. I do believe the salicylic acid in ...

I would advise using a half pump of moisturizer, if any at all, with your AHA. If you use two pumps of moisturizer, the AHA is not doing anything. Most people do not need to cut it with moisturizer....

Which black soap are you using? You also have to remember that, from what it sounds like, you've switched up your products like four times recently with the different soaps and sulfur. This can be a...

I would second not using Clearasil's tinted cream. That stuff has a very odd color to it and it would be too much with the regimen. i would also suggest you use Dan's products for the regimen. If y...

Have you tried Vitamin D3 to supplement the lack of sun exposure? I do not have firsthand experience with it, but have read it has been very helpful others' acne.

Apply BP after you work out in the morning. Wash it off from the night before, exercise, then rinse your face with water and a wash cloth. Then apply your BP as you get dressed.

Listen to your skin. If you're having numbness in your face and eyes swelling from use of the BP, DON'T USE IT. Cerave moisturizer breaks many people out, so this could be the reason for your sudden...

SPF 15 is not enough. You will need SPF 30 or above. Don't take unnecessary chances with your skin.

Alcohol based is what is recommended by my esthetician because it's going to be the least clogging for acne prone skin when it comes to waterproof sunscreen. If you have any specific recommendations ...

For fun in the sun, use a waterproof, alcohol-based sunscreen. Solbar is a good one. Find the highest SPF you can with the alcohol base; 30 should be sufficient if you reapply a couple times during ...

For myself, AHA is what helps the most. There may be an ingredient in Dan's that your skin doesn't like. Try a different AHA. I use a 12% gel that works really well.

The esthetician I have used for 23 years was well worth it. When I was 19 and all of a sudden broke out, she put me on a regimen that kept me clear while I used it. I always went back to her (even t...

To spot treat, put a small amount of Epsom salt crystals into a lid, add one drop of water and use a qtip to apply to the spot. It helps draw out the infection. You can do it every few hours to spee...

Jojoba is more of a moisturizer than a healer. Tea Tree can be irritating for some people, so if you decide to use it, test a portion of your face. Spot treat with Epsom salt to quickly shrink a spo...

Cerave moisturizer is clogging to many people. Try sulfur masks at night to calm your skin.

Coconut oil can be clogging for some. Others love it for their skin. You have to see what it does for you. I try to avoid it if possible. However, my daughter is using natural black soap that like...
