Is it normal for my skin around my mouth to get dry and flaky after using Differin for three days?
My skin is oily on the forehead and dryish on my ch inn. My cheeks are clear of acne and my nose has blackheads so my doctor prescribed an acne medication, Differin. Now the skin around my mouth is dry and flaky, especially under my lip on my chin. The dry spots are extremely itchy constantly. Does that mean it's working or is this baddd?
I only use it once a day, before bedd.
Are there any ways to zap a zit fast?
I have really bad acne. I've tried just about EVERYTHING out there, and yes, each for al least 2-3 weeks. I've tried ProActiv, Neutrogena Wave, just about everything Clearasil has to offer, many Meutrogena clensers and astringents, abrasive soaps, "garunteed results" (not) acne products, EVERYTHING!!! I feel like I'm the reason Walgreens keeps building new stores :) lol jk but still you get my point.
I'm kinda looking for an easy, effective home treatment for COMBINATION skin.
Right now I'm using dermatologist perscribed Duac at night and Differin in the morning. My skin doc said I'd see 99% clearer skin within 6 months, and it's been well over a year and I still have acne. I've been on Retin A and at least 3 different antibiotics but nothing works. I'm 13 and I've had bad acne since I was about 10 or 11, and I know I still have a few more years of it since both my parents had bad acne (mom on her back and dad on his face. I got both. Ain't I lucky :-/ ) I know I could just tough it out the next few years but I'd really rather not since I've already had what I feel is more than my fair share of acne.
My topicals keep huge outbreaks from happening, but I'd really like to know an effective spot treatment for the sits that pop up unexpectedly.
Oh ya and I'm not terribly unhealthy. I eat ok (like most Americans I pig out on sweets a little more often than I ought to and I don't get an hour of excercise everyday) and I'm only 130 lbs, which is only 3 lbs outside my target weight range, and I'm by no means the heaviest one out of all my friends.
I heard you can use toothpaste to dry up zits, but I've never tried it and i'd like to know of anyone has and of it worked for you.
Thanks for reading this and not falling asleep, and thanks in advance for any answers or advice you have!!!
Blackhead clearing?!?!!??!?
Alright...So, I have had ance since i was like, 8. I recently started using ProActive, and it got rid of the acne on my forehead, but not my blackheads. I have tried soooo many products on my face, bu tthey won't go away. Here's what I've been using for the past 5 o6 years, not at the same time of course, but you know;
ProActive
Clean and clear advantage acne solutions
clean and clear deep cleansing wash
Differin
Clindagel
those Biore clearing strips
various mud masks
clean and clear morning burst
Purpose (gel wash and bar)
Basis bar
a few st.Ives face scubs
What will really take them away? The stuff I used to use made my face burn even when it touched my pillow, and it still never helped? Does the ProActive blackhead stuff work (do they even have any?)? Do those vibrating things work?
thank you!
I've been to a dermatoligist, twice. They just put me on Differin, which i used for 4 used. It u=just made me cry everytime something touched my face, thats it.
lol, sorry:
they put me on Differin, which i used for 4 years. It just hurt.
How Do I Get Rid Of Acne!!!?
Ok, so i'm 14 and i've had acne on my back and chest for a least 2 years now. I've been to my doctors, and i've been prescibed Trimeothoprin and a cream called Differin. To be honest it hasn't really worked. I have tried every spot cream possible. I wash my back and chest every day, but nothing seems to work. I really need so me good advice fast! Thankyou xx
Im 18 & i have acne & its getting worse. i have it on my face, chest, back, neck, shoulders..etc..?
& it seems really hard to keep under control like its difficult to keep putting my topicals on everywhere. Should i just start on accutane? my acne is getting worse & its leaving scars. will accutane cure my acne? and if i go to the dermatologist can i just ask to be put on it? thanks.
I've tried oral medicines, proactiv, murad, differin, retin-a, and they helped somewhat...but how can i keep putting proactive and all that stuff on my back? lol 3 steps on my back everyday? umm yeah thats a tad difficult! haha
Is this skincare routine alright? What should i eliminate/add?
i'm a teen. i have super oily skin! (in the middle of the day you could fry chicken using the oil off my face and it looks so shiny, that's why i go through a pack of oil blotters so quickly!)

-aveeno positively radiant daily moisturizer
(Oil-free/hypoallergenic/noncomedogenic)
Night:
-clearasil daily pore cleansing pads (2% salicylic)

DOES DIFFERIN WORK FOR MY KIND OF ACNE?
Does differin work for my kind of acne? My derm. recommended it. I have the .1%, and i have some blackheads on my chin and nose, as well as whiteheads and "skin toned" pimples (i forgot what they are called) on my for head and cheeks, but overall, my acne isn't severe.
