Acne.. Ew. I have the acne where it's just little bump things? Not the mountains filled with puss, does anyone have tips on getting rid if it?
I wash my face day and night with Clean and Clear. I've been to a dermatologist and they gave me a cream to use on my face at night (Tretinoin 0.05) and its too strong for my face. Dries my our Like crazy.

Helpp! Thanks(:

Are you moisturizing with your acne cream? Most of them are very strong and will dry your skin out a ton. There are tons of oil-free moisturizers available. I know when I don't exfoliate regularly, my skin is more acne-prone, so you can try that as well. Just make sure you don't use one that's too harsh. Exfoliating will also help your dry skin. Keep using the cream your doctor prescribed, you need to give skin care a while to see if it's actually working. If things don't seem to get better, you can always go back to the derm and see if something else would work better. Best of luck!

Do you use your cream every night? I had the same problem when I started my acne cream but if you apply it every other night with moisturizer and work up to every night it should help your skin get used to it.

I have sensitive and combo skin. Personally, I can't exfoliate it just hurts. I use the Kiehls line of face washes and Lancôme mineral masque. And bb cream, no foundation.

I use to have little weird bumps on my chin, They're hard to describe, but nothing got rid of them! In the 5 days I've had my Clarisonic Mia 2, they're almost completely gone. I would recommend purchasing one. They're a bit pricey but I've heard nothing but good reviews and if you aren't satisfied with it and you get it from sephora you can return it :)

Try Vichy tonic for acne prone skin it's like this transparent looking liquid! It helps Lots. Try ice to minimize pores and reduce pimple size, honey + cinnamon for acne scars or all ur face, lemonade will naturally dry ur skin, and all these things are found right at ur home + cheaper.

Hey, Racheal. My Dr. gave me Differin which I believe is similar to tretinoin only not as strong I think. And those little bumps you are talking about? It got rid of all of mine so don't give up! Unfortunately dry skin is one of the side effects with these kinds of treatments. Luckily it hasn't affected me too badly but I'm wondering if you are using too much product? With the differin I only use a pea sized amount all over my face. If I use any more, even by just a minute amount, I get eye irritation. Also your skin does adjust over time so if you keep using it it should get less dry. It's also important to moisturize.

What about African black soap? I've only heard good things about it!
I have mild acne, blackheads on my nose, and scars... Will it help me?

But maybe you should try that, because all-natural stuff seems to be the gentlest and work the best. Plus a 6 pack is $15 on amazon!
