Question by Aimy: Should I stop using a topical acne medication if my face has become dry?
Lately I have been using topical acne treatment where the main parts of my acne were (T-zone), and after about a week of using the medication, the acne has significantly cleared up. Even though, every time I wash my face I can see that the places where I used the medication have become dry and somewhat flakey. Seeing this I used a acne-preventing moisturizer and that helps during the day but my skin is still dry after I wash it. Should I still continue this routine?

While prescriptions and over the counter medications can be a good choice for treating back acne, a homemade back acne treatment can be a desirable option for people who like to keep it natural and reduce their exposure to harmful chemicals and drugs.

Keep in mind that using a homemade back acne treatment can be effective, but it can also take a lot longer for you to notice an improvement. If you can control the reasons why you suffer from back acne breakouts, you may also be able to improve and lessen the intensity and frequency of breakouts. Bacne can often be caused by irritation of your skin, or basically something rubbing on the skin that helps to trap dirt in the pores and then may lead to infection or bacne.

i want to use Neutrogena Body Scrub to get rid of body pimples, but i’m not sure if i should because i’m using a topical acne medication on my face at the same time. i’m not old.

I’ve been having a lot of trouble with acne lately.
I had body acne but I started using Neutrogena’s body wash and it cleared up like magic! All the acne went away and it hasnt been coming back. My body acne was like pretty much the same type of acne im getting on my face, so I’m wondering if it work on my face too?? Please please help me!!!!! Thank you so much!
I’ve used the neutrogena face washes and they just made me breakout more =[

I take care of my skin quite well. I moisturize twice a day, use anti aging serums, & acne prevention gels. But I still have redness around my nose, chin, & forehead after my morning shower (I can’t take showers the night before since I have very fine hair that greases up badly when slept on). What can I do to prevent the redness?

Thank you!

I was prescribed an acne medication called Clindamycin + Benzoyl Peroide (generic form of BenzaClin) and after about a week of use my skin is starting to flake. I was told this might happen. How long will this process take?

I use prescription acne medication everyday, but I enjoy using face masks on my skin. Should I still continue to put the medication on after my mask or should I just wait for the next day?
