my skin is extremely sensitive and I’ll get allergic reactions. even when I put a lotion on my hands and then touch my face, i’ll get a rash everywhere. I’ve tried so many products but none of them really worked. my dermatologist gave me this benzoyl peroxide gel for acne and a rash developed all over my face. what’s a hypoallergenic, non-irritating acne cleanser/treatment

Something without Fragrance. Aveno works well for me.

I have very scaly, dry and thick skin on my forhead due to at least a year of vigorous exfoliating and harsh salicylic acid/benzoyl peroxide creams. Is there any way to get my old skin back quickly? Thanks.

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. And also try some of the Oil of Olay or Dove products. Theyre very gentle.

I have acne and any treatment that i have tried has dried up my skin and caused it to flake and look really bad. Is there any treatment for it that works well and fast but doesn’t dry up my skin??

Have you been using drying ingredients line Benzoyl Peroxide? Benzoyl Peroxide is an excellent acne treatment, but tends to dry people out that do not have an oily skin type. Also, are you moisturizing daily? Even though you have acne, you still need to moisturize your skin daily.

Take a look at these other products that have hydrating properties:

Cleanser: B Kamins Hydrating Acne Wash (Can be found at SkinStore.com or Bkamins.com)

Treatment: Boscia Willow Bark Breakout Treatment (can also be found at Skinstore.com or Spalook.com.

Hydrator: Kinerase Clear Skin Moisture Light or La Roche Posay Effaclar Matte (Can be found at both SkinStore.com and Spalook.com)

My face is always so oily and recently I’ve been getting more zits, but my budget is a little tight. Any suggestions?

The most sought-after topical acne solutions are readily found over-the-counter. Though this is the case, you are still encouraged to visit your dermatologists. Benzoyl Peroxide is the most usual topical solution that is recommended to treat acne. It can be acquired in various formulations like gels, lotions, cleansers and creams. This medication is usually required to be used once or twice a day, depending on the condition of your problem. Skin inflammation or redness is one of the results of this topical solution but gradually diminishes through time.

What is the best acne treatment for sensitive skin? (not proactiv, im using it & it sucks)?

Help! I have really sensitive skin, and when i use a product, it tends to make my skin red!

If you have only been using the product for a week, then keep using it. Your skin needs to get used to the product. It might wor after awhile. But it will only work if you are using it correctly and continuously.

If it still doesn’t work or is past this stage: go to the store. look at the acne treatments. buy a scrub or cleanser with 0.5%salicylic acid. Balance it with an acne cream of 5-10% benzoyl peroxide. 10% is the highest if your acne is bad. I recommend you get a product with sulfur, though, because it won’t irritate your skin as much. Test the products for a week. It is natural for your face to become red and irritated at first so make sure to start using them at times when you won’t see anyone. If your face is still irritated after a week see a dermotoligist. You might have an allergy to something in most acne medications.

Proactiv really doesn’t work btw. They’re just good at selling it. The best stuff comes from dermotoligists.

I just have some acne on my forehead and I just want to get rid of it, or at least reduce it and prevent new ones from forming because I’m starting high school in late August. I can’t use anything with benzoyl peroxide because even if I just use a little bit, my skin gets red and irritated. What is the best acne treatment for people like me?

1) Cook oatmeal and apply on face for fifteen minutes and wash.
2) Make a warm bath with blanch of nettle and rosemary.
3) Apply equal amount of lemon juice and rose water with a cotton ball and wash it after haif an hour for 15 to 20 days.

What is the best acne treatment for fair skin?

I have very pale and sensitive skin. Also, i have redness that i would Love to get rid of! But i don’t want to spend a fortune! Is there an OTC acne treatment that really works without breaking the bank??

Look for face washes which contain the active ingredient benzoyl peroxide. This is the key ingredient in some of the best face washes. use a 5-10% benzoyl peroxide of mild to moderate acne and 10% for severe.

Try smashing one tablet of aspirin in a small bowl, then adding lemon juice to the mixture. Aspirin is acetesalicylic acid, chemically related to salicylic acid. Apply to the affected areas overnight. It boosts the healing process while reducing redness.

Try putting toothpaste (paste, NOT gel) on your face, cover it with a bandage, and keep it on all night. When you wash it off in the morning your acne will look better. The astringent and surfactant nature of the toothpaste will help diminish the appearance of pimples. But the toothpaste has been known to burn sensitive skin of the face, so be careful. If your face does burn, stop acne treatments and work on healing your burn.

Try using Bentonite Clay, a natural mineral powder which has been known to absorb impurities and help neutralise the skin’s oiliness, and can be found online. Mix 2 tablespoons with a dash of cold water and smooth over the face as a thick paste. Once dried gently wipe off with a flannel or sponge.

Bye…
