What is the difference between Retin-A Micro and Retin-A? Also, opinions on Obagi?
I have tried Retin-A micro for my acne (mostly blackheads and whiteheads and inflammatory red spots) in the past but it didn't really work. On the tube it says "tretinoin" or something...
Recently, a skin-care professional told me to use Retin-A and showed me a tube that looked very different from my old one...is there any difference between the two products?
Also, any takes on the Obagi skin care line?
Thanks!
How can I help my very oily skin?
I used to have very dry skin when I was younger. Now I am almost 30 and my skin just keeps getting oiler and oiler. I do not have acne or blackheads but I do have large pores. I use a pack of blotting papers in a week and I'm still OILY! I hear that witch hazel is a good product to try but where do I find it, what does it look like and what is the recommended usage of it?
I have already read tons of postings from other people about oily skin but they all seemed to be teenagers. I am constantly embarassed by my skin and really need some advice. I am seriously thinking about seeing a dermatologist but I have to wonder if insurance would pay for the medication they subscribe.
Any thoughts are welcomed.
Thanks!
PS- I have used every expensive and inexpensive skin care line you can imagine over the years!!

Is there a good skin care product that will clear skin while improving the health of your skin?
I've noticed that most skin care products are used to treat only acne, or only aging/wrinkles. Are there any products that combine both? I tend to have greasy skin, but it dries out VERY easily with certain products. It's very dry during winter months, but greasier during summer. I also have VERY large pores.
I was looking at "Natural Advantage" skin care line, but don't know if it'll be an effective acne treatment? I want HEALTHY, YOUNG looking skin as well as CLEAR skin. Any suggestions?
