For dry but acne prone skin
Is your skin on the drier side? Are you in that small group that still has acne issues even with dry skin? This makes it hard because as you’ve probably already figured out, most acne medicine is formulated for oily skin. Most acne medications will just make you dry and irritated.
I hand-picked this product Kit to help control acne while not causing more dryness or irritation. There’s also a product to spot treat breakouts. And one to help heal faster any red or brown marks your acne might leave.
Remember that it takes a full 6-8 weeks for acne to get better so don’t be discouraged if you’re not better in two weeks – you might even get worse temporarily (remember those hormones). Stick with it, the results will come. Definitely see a dermatologist if your acne persists or if you have scars or true cysts.
If you're not sure whether this is the right regimen for your skin profile, take the Skin Care Test. Also please see my Acne In Depth article.

It's best to use these products together in a regimen, but you can also browse through the individual products below. |
