Moisturizer???
I always get dry skin after using my acne perscription medicine, so i want to get a moisturizer for after using it! My face is oily, so i really don't want oil on my face! I tried using some moisturizer from Aveeno that was supposed to be oil free and natural, but my face was 2x as oily as normal and i felt gross. So i washed it off, then my face became dry again! WHAT TO DO??? Thanks in advance!!! <3333 (13/f)

since you already get acne prescriped medication, you should also get prescribed moisturizer. the dermatologist could mix the prescription you already have with the moisturizer in it or prescribe a whole different bottle to put it in. you should also tell the doctor about how your skin gets really dry, it could be the medication you are already on making it worse. hope i helped<3

Phisoderm is a good brand, as soon as you put it on it looks shiny and oily but it soaks in after a little while. I have oily skin and that works good for me. I put it on at night and my face looks moisturized in the morning. Cataphil is also good. I stole it from my best friend and as soon as I put it on my face looked a lot better, plus it doesn't make your face look oily right after you put it on like Phisoderm. Hope you find one that works for you.

If you have a prescription for your acne medication, then you need to talk to your dermatologist/doctor about what moisturizers to use. if it's an over-the-counter acne system, then there should be a moisturizer marketed with it. if there isn't then you might want to consider changing brands. consistency is the best weapon against acne. if you really don't want to switch brands, try to find a moisturizer marketed towards acne sufferers. my favorite is aveda's outer peace moisturizer. it's not too drying or oily and it has medication in it to help fight acne.
