How does Benzoyl Peroxide work, and why is it so murderous to my skin?
I am 16 and have been applying 10% Benzoyl Peroxide every night (after washing with Neutrogena Gentle Facial Cleanser) for just over a week now. After switching from sporradic Salicylic Acid use to BP, I responded well and quickly initially, and even had one day without acne... Now, however, it's just a bit better than it was before I began the treatment. The problem, however, is that my skin (especially my chin and cheeks) is now constantly horribly dry and flaky, though I apply a light moisturizer at least five times per day.
Any explanations about how BP works or suggestions about what to do for this condition... Should I stop or continue with the BP? I have mild to moderate acne and would love to be at least partially clear and not flaky by the time school begins in a week. Thanks a ton for any suggestions you can offer! =)
The moisturizer that I have been using has an SPF of 15.
How to get rid of the super reddness and dryness from benzaclin?
My derma. prescribed me benzaclin and I have been using it on my moderate acne for almost 2 weeks. My acne is almost gone, but my face is super red like Ive been in the sun for days. Also my skin is super dry. How do I get rid of this? I skipped the morning treatment cuz it burned so bad, and I put a moisturizer on several times throughout the day.
Heeey; Who Has Used Epiduo For Acne/Blackheads & Is It Effective ??? (:?
I've Had Light To Moderate Acne Since I Was About 10, I'm Nearly 16 & My Acne Is Consistent. My Acne Is Mainly On My Hairline On The Side Of My Face, My Chin & A Few On My Forehead. I'm Lucky My Acne Isn't On My T - Zone But I Still Want To Get Rid Of My Acne Nonetheless. I've Heard About A Product Called Epiduo & I've Been Reading About It... So Does It Work For You & How Severe Is Your Acne ?
I Also Have Loads Of Blackheads & I Know Epiduo Is Supposedly Effective On Blackheads As Well. I Really Want My Blackheads & Acne Gone Together Forever !!!
I Wash My Face Twice A Day & Don't Apply Any Creams, Treatments Etc As Most Are Just A Waste Of Money.
I Know Products Like Epiduo Make The Skin Worse Before It Gets Better (To Get Everything Evil Out) But I Don't Mind This, It's Definitely Worth It To Have Clear Skin... So Yeah (:
What Was Your Experience With Epiduo Like ?
Thankss In Advance !! :D
I Asked For People Who Have USED Epiduo To Answer !!!!!
I Didn't Want To Hear About Diet Or Face Masks Or Get Spammed With Stupid Answers About Ebooks & Clothes Sites... Bloody Hell !!!
Would You PLEASE Answer ONLY If You've Ever Used Epiduo ? (:

How do i reduce skin redness?
I am adolescent and have moderate acne on my chin, cheeks, and sides of my face, but the main and most worst part is the redness! Even where there isn't a pimple or blackhead, my skin is just red! >:| It gets annoying, even though I wear makeup, it still shows through sometimes, because my skin is very fair and oily. Please help cover it up and/or get rid of it.
Effective Acne Treatment?
I've always suffered from a pretty moderate acne problem, but it's never really bothered me too much. But lately I've been having worse breakouts and it's affecting all of my face. I'm using this Neutrogena cream stuff but it doesn't seem to be helping much.
Can anyone tell me how I can prevent breakouts like less soda or something like that? Also if you know of any face washes or homemade remedies that can help me, please let me know!
Thanks :)
Is dry acne a good sign?
I have moderate acne in my t-zone and some blackheads around my nose,
I have been using cetaphil cleanser in the morning and at night,
apple cider vinegar as a toner.
and extra virgin olive oil as a moisturizer.
I think that the apple cider vinegar has dried up my acne
and the skin is all peely.
is this a good sign or should I stop using the apple cider vinegar?

Acneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee? :o?
I'm 14, and I have moderate acne. I really want to clear it up, but I can't seem to find something that works. Proactiv only works for some people, and I'm not one of them. :[
I have these Oxy pads, and they kind of help. But I keep breaking out.
What acne treatment can I use that isn't super expensive, and if possible, are there any kind of treatments I can make at home with like cinnamon and lemon juice? [it works a little]
Danke. ^___________________^
