What kind of acne treatment won't interfere with birth control?

admin April 24th, 2011

I’m meeting with my dermatologist to discuss going on acne treatment. The problem is, I’m going to be with my mom, who I haven’t told I was having sex yet. I need to be put on something that won’t interfere with the effectiveness of my birth control. Anyone know of one that actually works? I’m looking for an oral treatment since creams and gels don’t work for me and only dry out my skin.
I’m ON birth control, and it didn’t help.

Why did my acne treatment turn my face red and warm?

admin April 20th, 2011

Every time i use my acne treatment, my skin is always dry, red, and warm. So i put on the toner and lotion, and that seems to help the dryness. However, it still remains blotchy red around the bridge of my face, and kind of warm. The treatment, toner, etc. works for my acne extremely well, compared to anything else i’ve used in the past. Even later in the day, my skin is still red. Why is this happening? It never happened before, just when I wash it. D: Help.

I have combination skin (normal/dry skin on cheeks and side of face and oily skin on my forehead, nose and chin). my acnes not that bad, its like moderate. I mostly get lots of skin colored small pimples and sometimes big red ones. the little skin colored ones are really annoying and ive used proactiv, acnefree, clean&clear advantage and clinique. proactiv worked for a while then stopped working, acnefree kept my skin the same, clinique dried my skin out, so clear and clear is the best acne treatment ive used but wondering if theres something better.
ive heard of something called exposed, is that any good? or zenmed or any of those brands?
also are there any good prescription creams available at the dermatologist?

How do you properly use the Murad Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel?

admin March 18th, 2011

I usually use the Murad Cleanser, and just the Murad Skin Perfecting Lotion. I don’t use the exfoliating acne treatment gel that comes in the kit. My mom says that after you put the exfoliating acne treatment gel on, you’re suppose to wash it off, but the instruction says nothing of that. Is that true?

admin March 8th, 2011

I am 10 weeks pregnant, up until 8 weeks I was using an this acne treatment on my face, not everyday but often. I told the doctor today and he told me to stop, but he made me worried, that I could have harmed the baby? He actually was really mean and made me cry, maybe its because I’m very emotional and worried. Well I have stopped using it completely for 2 weeks now, and am never going to use it again. Can anybody give me some support or information if you have used any products like this and had a healthy child?

What do you use? How many steps? What is your skin type?
———————————————————————-

My skin type: Oily|Sensitive|Pigmented|Wrinkled

Cleanser (AM|PM) – Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser for Normal to Oily Skin

Exfoliant (AM|PM) – Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control 3-in-1 Hydrating Acne Treatment with 2% salicylic acid

I do not use a scrub because it irritates my skin. I do not use a toner because I find it unnecessary. I do not use a moisturizer because I am oily and do not want to get oilier.I apply my oil-absorbent on top of my sunscreen to soak up excess oil through the morning. I reapply my sunscreen with my pressed powder during the day. However, I blot with a clean tissue paper first and then I layer my skin with pressed powder.

hi, so im a 15 year old female, and i was looking for some acne products to help my skin.

Acne treatment kit recommendations?

admin February 18th, 2011

I am in search of a good acne treatment kit for sensitive skin. I cannot use benzoyl peroxide products, as I have an allergy to them. I would prefer a kit that isn’t loaded with parabens and other harsh chemicals. I’ve found that the less chemicals there are in the products I use on my skin, the better. Any suggestions on kits containing a cleanser, moisturizer, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
My acne is mild to moderate.

Best moisturizer for acne prone skin?

admin January 24th, 2011

I recently started using a 3-step acne treatment by Clean and Clear to control the mild to moderate acne that I have on my face. So far, it is working great, but my skin is starting to feel dry as a result of using the treatment twice a day (the recommended amount). Is there a moisturizer anyone could recommend that I could use to combat this dryness, but that won’t clog my pores or cause my acne to worsen again? I tend to have oily skin and the dryness is only the result of my acne products.
