wow you get a lot of bad information on this website. Your skin absorbs medication to a greater extent when it is damp then when it is dry this is why the instructions will always say to use after you...

It should be fine. There is a medication (Epiduo) that is a combination of adapalene and benzoyl peroxide so they can work with each other. Often Dermatologists will prescribe using adapalene at night...

People write all the time that over washing and other external actions causes your skin to produce more oil but this has not been proven and no study exists to back up this claim. From personal experi...

Hot water can dry your skin out which leads to more problems. Water that is just a little warm but not hot is best.

I have been thinking of trying a retinoid like Tazorac but I'm scared to death of an initial breakout. If my skin got a lot worse I would not be able to ride it out hoping it gets better as my skin is...

You will always be able to find another Dermatologist who will give you other options. If you don't want to take Accutane don't feel pressured to take it. However, the studies show your best bet at ac...

That's the thing I don't know if it is common knowledge if it has not been proven. You could be right but without a study it is more of a guess.

I had a Dermatologist tell me using Tazorac would reduce the oil production on my skin. Researching online I could not find anything to back up this claim. Has anyone used Tazorac or any other retinoi...

I have definitely experienced worse skin when I try to do too much/use to strong of a cleanser/dry my skin out. For me doing just enough and nothing more has worked best so I just use a very gentle cl...

Hey, If you have a lot of active acne and your skin can handle it go ahead and use it twice a day. I can tell you from my experience once your acne clears up you can experiment with once a day or ever...

Hot water definitely dries your skin out but if you can point to ANY study that shows your body produces more oil because of this I would love to see it. This theory like many gets thrown around a lot...

If things don't improve right away I can stick with something new to give it a chance but I believe if things actually get worse after using something new you have to stop using it. I have had really ...

Was it difficult to get a prescription for oily skin only? Are you planning on taking low doses for the rest of your life or what's the plan?

Ya, harsh cleanser=very bad idea. If it works for you that's great but I would also never recommend this to anyone else.

What products are you using on your skin/hair? I would stop using any products you have been using on your skin for a while and see if it improves (just wash with water for a while and see what happen...

You have tried so many things and nothing has worked right so I would suggest stop using everything for a while and see what happens. Just wash your face with water and maybe use a soft wash cloth to ...

I believe less is more. Everything we use to "help" our skin has some level of negative impact so the ideal situation would be to just wash your face with water but for a lot of us that is just not a...

  Scroll down to the picture of the box which has the instructions on the side.

My personal opinion is that "purging" is a bunch of garbage. If things are getting worse stop doing whatever you are doing. I also think it's to simplistic to say a certain ingredient is causing a pro...

Paulas Choice is a good website that reviews products and can give you some good information. From my personal experience I have liked Olay Foaming Cleanser for Sensitive Skin (gel not liquid). There ...

Vitamin A does not change your oil production like Accutane does. The only things that have been shown to change oil production are prescription drugs like Accutane as well as androgen inhibitors.

It will go away sometimes those kind of things just take a while. If it was pretty bad I would say you have to give it a good month and then if it still has not changed at all maybe see the doctor aga...

I would stop the witch hazel and I am not sure why you are moisturizing so much but it seems like overkill to me.
