Author: Over the counter acne treatments (benzoyl peroxide) work GREAT–get my skin free and clear of acne.
However I hate to keep using it b/c it’s drying to the skin. For me, dry face = wrinkles and premature aging. My skin doesnt look supple and moisturizers bring back ance.
Problem is, once I discontinue using benzoyl peroxide, pimples come back full force.
What can I do?
Proactive works too but it’s also benzoyl peroxide. The moisturizers they make breed acne and slow healing.
Salicylic acid doesnt work as well for me but I’m sure that since it’s an acid it will probably dry the skin out with long term use.
Can anyone recommend a simple regimin that keeps acne away without the use of drying products.
Or can anyone recommend a moisturizer or night cream that you have used that doesnt bring back your acne.
See a dermatologist. My daughter’s acne was getting out of control and we have tried all the over the counter stuff and nothing really helped. I took her to see a dermatologist last week. She now takes a pill (an antibiotic) and has a gel to put on her face. She only has to do each one once a day. I have seen a HUGE improvement in just a week. You may be able to just take the antibiotic.

Drinking water will help with maintaining your skin moisturize, but it wont clear off acne and wont prevent it. You need a dermatologist for that. But water is the best choice instead of soda that will definitely aggravate your condition. Other things will also aggravate the acne like stress or make up.
