I have very sensitive skin. It's normal-dry mostly dry. At the end of days, its oily. I have acne on my forehead, chin, nose, and area around the nose. About 80% of the acne are those bumps that aren't big and red but the small under the skin bumps you can see and its really annoying. I've used sooo many acne products and nothing seems to work. It either dries out my face or makes things worse. I got Pro-Active about 5 months ago thinking that it would clear my skin, but it didn't. Its very harsh on my face and dries it out..i even got rashes on my lip from it. I need something that is soft on my skin, but hard on my acne. It can't dry out my face, it needs to leave it hydrated. Does anyone know ANYTHING that can work on my face?
p.s. brands like dermalogica, clean and clear, neutrogena, clearasil ect. don't work on me. I need something more medicated..
Dakizah answered Saturday October 11 2008, 8:59 pm: I know from experience sometimes its best not to use brand name products but simply soap and a mostierizer such as clinique or any other preferable one. Don't wash your face more then once a day because that could irritate it and cause more achne. ITs better to wash your face before bed and if your skin is oily in the morning wash it gently with not much soap just to make it look a little more dry. Another thing that works is to use toothpaste like crest without floride that use to work for me too but only until you get rid of the acne. But the thing with toothpaste is it will burn a little but that just shows its working. [ Dakizah's advice column | Ask Dakizah A Question ]

Well I have very sensitive skin as well, I use olay blemish face wash. It not to expensive about 6 dallors a tube. Olay has a line of all kinds of face products that I use everyday. When i was younger I tried oxy and stuff and it burned me so bad, and my whole face would stay red for days and hurt to even touch it. Alot of harsh facial stuff did that to me for ance. I been using olay for as long as I can remember and it has never done that. The only other thing I could really suggest is proactive solution and their face line. I have not tried the product myself but have had friends who have used it and loved it. Its suppose to be ok on highly senative skin too. I here that proactive does wonders for just about anyone, but I have never tried it first hand. I hope this helps let me know what you think.....
