acne/skin
hey i have pretty bad combination skin. ive had semi-mild acne all over my face for like 2yrs now & ive been using the same products for a few months consistently. my acnes no longer red or anything like that and ive been told that its barely noticeable but its still there and it still bothers me =/. sometimes it goes away but then more just comes back. the products i use are:
-neutrogina clean&clear acne wash
-benzaclin topical acne gel [ from my doctor ]
& i wash my face with the acne wash when i get out of the shower and it really seems to clear up my acne. but it also dries out my face so i use moisturizer stuff.
then i use the benzaclin before i go to bed like my doctor says..
well my face is also so shiney in my forehead &stuff..how do i stop my acne & am i doing anything wrong by using all these products? and how do i get my face to be less shiney?
thanks sorry so long.=/

hey, well you should go see a dermotologist(sp). make frequent appointments with them. you could possibly be using too many products. try using proactive. if your not willing to do that because its too expensive, than try using all one product namebrand. example: using all clean and clear products. lumene is really good.

You aren't using that many products, but if its working but causing dryness I would still use it. But keep up the moisturizing. Use blotting sheets to get rid of the oil. I use Clean&Clear oil absorbing sheets. Wash your face, drink lots of water and DON'T stress(it makes you break out). It takes time, so keep up the stuff you are using if it works.

To make your skin less shiny, wash your face no more than twice a day. In between, use shine sheets (Clean and Clear, Biore, and ELF all make them) and pressed powder to control shine.
How much is Benzaclin drying your face? If it's peeling, flaking, and itching badly and all the time, you're having a reaction to it. Try using it only every other day. You'll still get the same benefit from it but it won't be drying your face out as much. If you don't see an improvement, see your doctor (or a dermatoligist) again and ask for something different. There's oodles of other things you can try.
