I have horrible acne, I just started going to the dermatologist. They told me to wash my face in the morning and at night, and then put on different creams after im done washing. They also gave me a pill. Which by the way, none of this stuff works, but it's all that's left.
Anyways, in the morning after I put the cream on, i need to wear foundation, but when i put it on over the cream it turns into this MESS! the foundation seperates itself from the zits. I'm dry and flakey too, but moisturizer just makes the flakes greasy. HELP!!!!!!!!! (link)

I had the same exact problem.
here is what you do.
i went to the dermatologist..it worked after like SIX months. and then it stopped working..i guess my skin got to used to it or whatever
so i made my own routine..
every morning and night i wash my face w/ Cetaphil gentle cleanser. its in a big bottle that has a blue sticker saying Cetaphil. then go to walmart or whatever and buy Equate acne cream. its like 3 bucks or something. it has 10% benzoyl peroxide. so only put it on at night.
and when you do put it on, put a thin layer..dont rub it in all the way, leave it where you can still see the white of the cream.and you only have to put it on the affected areas.
as for moisturizer.. i use Cetaphil moisturizing cream for dry, sensitive skin. i use it in the morning before i put my makeup on. i dont use it at night.
as for foundation.
i would try bareminerals. i use it, and it works wonders. just make sure your moisturizer is all the way dry. and that cetaphil moisturizer is pretty strong so dont put a ton on. you only need a little bit. or else it will be greasy. so let it dry for like 10 minutes and than put the bareminerals on. they have a kit in sephora called like.. beyond the basics. i think its around 50 bucks.. but its worth it.. and you get alot of stuff
hope i helped!
