I am allergic to benzyole peroxide, and nearly all acne treatments have it in it. I have more acne now than I did as a teen, and its frustrating me! You see all of these great-looking products made to get rid of acne and I can’t use any of them. Salcylic acid doesn’t work overly well for me, it dries my skin out, and is more of a blemish treatment than over all acne treatment. Any tips?

I’m going to go to the store in a bit, (Target) to buy a few things, and I kind of want to buy some new make up while there.
And my problem is with concealer and foundation, and a dewy finish.
First of all- I have dry skin
So with my concealer, what would I buy to make sure it doesn’t go into any small lines? Because even though I don’t have wrinkles, when it dries after a while it creates lines that look like wrinkles.
With foundation I do not wear liquid or cream, because I don’t know if I apply it everywhere or only places where I need coverage? And if I apply it only in smaller areas won’t it look funny to have weird lighter and such spots on my face? (And yes I know I have to find that perfect shade that blends into my skin ^^)
And then there’s the glow. How do I get that dewy glow on my cheeks after finishing? I don’t want to have to wear tons of Moisturizer and lotion to get that. And the glow I am talking about is more of like a moist glow not like a shimmer from those sparkles in make up.
I also have old acne scars and small pimples. But not much just here and there.
Also after a day of smiling and talking the make up creases at the sides of my mouth.
I just want to make sure my make up stays put all day.
Please help! D: I’m 19 and still don’t know how to put on my make up correctly. 
Also if you have recommendations of some nice products (non-expensive please) feel free to say them.

my skin is extremely dry and sensitive but i still have a lot of zits. no matter what i try, it either doesnt do anything, or dries my skin out to the point of peeling. even if i only use a product on one spot on my skin, the rest of my face still dries out. please help with any good tips =]

I have struggled with acne for about 4 years and I’ve tried proactiv, skinID, and many other over the counter cleansers as well. I have fairly sensitive skin and moderate acne. My face dries out pretty quickly as well. What cleanser or acne system should I use to get good results and fast?
I was thinking of the 3 step neutrogena kit or acne free. Any suggestions?

Had acne for a year and a half.
FINALLY cleared my skin. No miracle treatment or anything. Just used benzoyl peroxide (Clearasil) but I believe it was just thru being patient and persistent.
However the minute I stop using benzoyl peroxide, face breaks out immediately. I don’t want to have to use benzoyl peroxide forever. I’ve heard it ages the skin b/c it dries it out so much. And my skin actually does look as if it’s aging prematurely (lines, wrinkles, dull).
What can I do to keep acne away once I all cleared up?

I have sensitive dry skin, I was wondering whats the best acne treatment for this type of skin??? I really haven’t tried much I have heard proactive is shit because it dries your skin up like crazy, so if you guys out there with acne scars and pimples HELP ME 
and also what is a good acne scar remover?

My skin is dry and flaky all over which I have never experienced until this year. However, I get acne from everything and anything, even when something claims to be oil free it clogs my pores and breaks me out like crazy, especially on my back and shoulders. So is there any good lotion or face cream that is good for dryness and aging skin (I am in my late 20s so I have to think about preventing wrinkles now) but will not break me out? I also cannot use body wash anymore for acne because it dries me out too much. So any suggestions for body wash would be great, too. Please READ this carefully before answering because people will answer my questions and suggest products made for teens like clearasil. I cannot use that stuff because it dries my pre-aging skin out.
Can someone suggest a good foundation too? One that won’t rub off onto clothes? I use Neutrogena skin clearing foundation but that is starting to dry me out, too! I am thinking it’s just because of winter weather. How is Almay TLC foundation? With SPF? Will that break me out?

I am 31 and on birth control pills (ortho-Tri) which is supposed to help mild acne. I have never had acne in my life until I turned 30. Now, every month both during and the week after my period I get these huge deep painful pimples on my chin that take weeks to go away. I have tried skin care for acne and not only does it do nothing, it dries out my skin creating dry lines and wrinkles. Then I have acne AND wrinkles! HELP!

Im a 16 year old male that uses ‘Nature’s Cure – For Males Only’ acne treatment. What you do is basically chew a tablet in the morning, and a tablet in the afternoon, aswell as using the cream that comes with it twice a day.
I have been using it for 3 months already, and its worked wonders already. The thing is, that these past two weeks, I started noticing that my skin is peeling everytime I come out the shower every morning. I have been wondering if its the cream, as it says that peeling is a side effect in the box. I read it and it said if peeling does occur, reduce the usage of the cream to every day or every other day.
Ever since I first got it though, i’ve been using it only once every day (at night. I wait till it dries and I fall asleep) and I wash it off when I take a shower in the mornings for school. The peeling has started a week ago and I don’t know what to do.
Should I discontinue the usage of the cream? I certainly don’t want to, as I have bad acne and it works wonders for me, but I must stop using it if its damaging my skin.
Any advice?

I have been using clearasil spot treatment (the tinted kind to cover up while cleaning up) and it works pretty well, it just over dries my skin.
Know of any treatments (BESIDES PROACTIV) that will do a good job without over drying.
I know all skin types are different, but suggestions please?
admin July 6th, 2010

ANY IDEAS?

I am a 30 yr old female with combination/oily skin. i have never had problems with acne in the past other than an occasional pimple here and there. i have tried neutrogena, which is said to be better than proactiv, but it doesn’t work, and it over dries my skin. i usually break out around my chin, and on either side of my nose. these originate from under the skin. i need a remedy. any dermatologists out there with suggestions? anyone?
admin May 11th, 2010
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?
