Good stuff.
I, personally, use the age-fighting moisturizer with spf 15 in it... I%26#039;d recommend doing a free facial though and having them recommend the best one for you. ;)|||whatever you do DO NOT use Clinique face care for acne prone skin.

and read the ingredients on what your putting on your delicate skin. This has helped me a LOT and has made me decide to switch to natural products. My skin now loves me for it.|||Clinique offers some great products for sensitive and for acne prone clients, here are two you might want to check out........

What is the best minerals foundation for acne prone skin?
I%26#039;m wondering too.|||If you have oily and acne skin, you should use mineral based makeups since they are light, gentle on the skin, won%26#039;t clog pores. Also, the minerals have anti-aging and sun protection properties that are good for the skin. Most skin care experts and dermatologists recommend to use mineral makeups.

What kind of make-up will cover my acne prone skin?
what kind of make-up can i use to cover acne scars and the redness?.. i have moderate acne. i use bare minerals right now but it makes my ance look purple.|||Use Pro Active, make up can%26#039;t cover or hide acne! It makes it worse!|||Whatever you do, don%26#039;t pile on the concealers, the foundations and the powders. That is only going to clog your pores more, giving you more acne, more redness etc.
I%26#039;ve been using Lancome Effacernes concealer. It%26#039;s a waterproof concealer made for under your eyes but it%26#039;s amazing at hiding any redness from previous acne and making your skin look very even. You might also want to try getting a green concealer too as that cancels out redness. When you use concealer DAB it on the spot you are covering and even invest in a tiny concealer brush too and you%26#039;ll see the difference it makes. I would not recommend using foundation because that way it%26#039;s like you are putting a mask of makeup all over your face and your skin won%26#039;t breathe.
I also use Avon%26#039;s ideal shade powder too. I dust a bit over my face when I%26#039;m done with my concealer. It hasn%26#039;t broken me out yet, but I don%26#039;t use it every day either. |||The best make up that I have come across for very good skin coverage is called DermaBlend. I have a scar on my face that I had a terrible time covering up with concealer. I also have a lot of freckles, and couldn%26#039;t find a foundation that would give me good coverage without looking cakey or too orange. Dermablend took care of both of these problems. I got a scar cover, concealer, foundation, and powder, and between those there isn%26#039;t much I can%26#039;t cover up when I need to. I think it would be the same scenario for acne.
I got my supply at JCPennys (who often sends coupons on the products) and at the ULTA store. Hope that helps!|||Whatever you do, do not use that mousee foundation. it made my acne like 10 times worsee!
Right now i use sheer cover and it works really well and my acnes cleared up since ive been using it.
it might be like bare minerals though :/ but the concelear doenst make mine purple.
do you use only the concelear?

What skin care products work for acne prone skin?
if have a few pimples here and there, but im 11 years old so what r good products to keep my face vibrant, acne free, and fesh looking.|||if you are 11 years old, you should not be using too many skin care products already as your skin is still very fresh and young. Drink lots of fruit juices and lots of water ( best natural cleanser for your body!), especially if it%26#039;s hot outside. cleanse your face and neck in the morning and at night with a light facial wash which is soap free, try brands like Cetaphil Gentle Daily Cleanser or Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Cleanser if you wear makeup. If you sweat a lot during the daytime, it is probably a good idea to cleanse during the day too. After you cleanse your face, you can apply a little, light facial moisturiser, if you need any , or only to the areas of your face that are dry.
In general, try to eat healthy, get enough rest and exercise and try to maintain a positive attitude.

Is Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser strong enough for someone with kind of oily and acne prone skin?
I don%26#039;t have severe acne, I just get a lot of little zits... mostly in the t- zone... never on my cheeks or anything. People say they%26#039;re not noticeable, but I notice, and they drive me up the wall.|||I would recommend Clinique 1,2,3 skin care if you can afford it. If not, wash face with mild liquid soap like a foaming cleanser. The Cetaphil is leaving a film on your face. You can make your own clarifying lotion. Witch Hazel is cheap.

Best tinted moisterizer(maybe foundation) for dry acne prone skin?
I take acne medication and it really helps but makes my skin dry and flaky. I need soemthing that covers well and feels light. It needs to last all day. SOemthing that can be found at a drug store? THX!|||I am a makeup artist.
Although I always say you should invest in a good foundation, because it is your canvas, I think I can help you pick out some decent drugstore brands.
The best thing for you to be using if you don%26#039;t need much coverage and have dry skin is a little bit of concealer and TINTED MOISTURIZER. One that I find worthy of hype is Physician%26#039;s Formula Organic Wear Tinted Moisturizer ($10-$12). You could also try Neutrogena Healthy Skin Tinted Moisturizer ($12): http://www.drugstore.com/qxp139818_33491…
If you need more coverage, opt for a creme or liquid foundation. Stay away from powders, as they will dry your skin even more. A decent inexpensive liquid foundation is Cover Girl Advanced Radiance ($14), and the best cream foundation is Covergirl Aquasmooth ($9). You should also try Carmindy%26#039;s collection from Sally Hansen.
You should ALWAYS use a good moisturizer after washing your face, and right before you put on foundation. If you find that even moisturizing foundations are making you dry, add some moisturizer to your foundation. I use Elizabeth Arden%26#039;s Velva Moisture Film, followed by Rimmel%26#039;s Fix %26amp; Perfect Primer, scoop out a little bit of liquid foundation on your hand, squeeze a few dots of moisturizer on top, and mix it with your foundation brush then apply immediately.
Hope this helps! :)|||Physician’s Formula, it is designed for dry sensitive skin and can be found at most fine drugstores (Target, Walmart, Albertsons, ect...).

Physician’s Formula Recommendations:
Physician%26#039;s Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Face Powder: ~$13.00 individual, ~$20 in the 3 pack
(Voted “Best Face Powder” in Star Magazine)
Physician%26#039;s Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Blush: ~$12.00 individual, ~$20 in the 3 pack
(Won %26quot;Testers’ Favorite Product Award%26quot; in Fitness Magazine and Awarded “Natural Beauty Award” in Natural Health Magazine)
Physician%26#039;s Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Matte Finishing Veil: ~$13.00 individual, ~$20 in 3 the pack

I have oily skin, so here’s a tip if you do, too. Just carry around the Talc-Free Matte Finishing Veil in a purse or backpack (for school or work or shopping or whatever) and apply it when you feel oily. It%26#039;s 100% translucent, so it just eats the oil without looking chalky or heavy.
To me, the mineral powder and blush looked hard, like I%26#039;d have to scrape it with my powder brush, but really it comes of quite easily. Take the brush it comes with and just dab it on, it%26#039;ll come off with hardly any rubbing at all.|||neutragena has a foundation that doubles as acne medication. You should try that.

What is the best face wash and lotion for someone with sensitive, dry, and acne prone skin?
I%26#039;d recommend Cetaphil. Both the face wash and the moisturizing cream are gentle, and work well without causing additional irritations or breakouts. It was recommended to me by both my dermatologist as well as several friends and we all swear by it.
Hope you can try it, and good luck!|||I have the same thing. Clean %26amp; Clear makes a moisturizer with an acne medication in it:

2.) Use the proactive blue primer/toner stuff

What is the best lotion for sensitive acne prone skin?
proactive :)|||There%26#039;s something called Face Doctor. It%26#039;s all natural and has herbs in it and healthy vitamins that help make your face look natural and rosy, and get rid of those yucky red bumps (trust me, my face is prone to acne too)
There%26#039;s a soap and a cream, you can use just the cream, but they work best when used together.
The one ingredient that helps the most is sea buck thorn oil. so if you don%26#039;t want to try Face Doctor. Look for a cream or soap that has sea buck thorn in it.
You can get Face Doctor at Shoppers or Pharma Plus.
However, if you don%26#039;t want to go with the natural ingredients, you can look for a product that says salicylic acid on it. Most neutrogena products have it in them. It helps get ride of pimples and acne before they even start.
Hope this helps:)|||Heya!
I would suggest something with Alpha Hydroxy acids or Glycolic Acid. They are found in fruits and sugar cane, and they help speed up the exfoliation process!
If you have acne, chances are you aren%26#039;t exfoliating enough and your skin could use it ;D
I use Kiss My Face 8% AHA Cream (about 8 bucks) for the face and neck, and I%26#039;m happy with it!! It also smells great!
If you want to take it a step further, mix a bit of benzoyl peroxide (I use Oxy 10%) in with the lotion and apply it after you get out of the shower. It%26#039;s really helped my skin!!
Do NOT NOT NOT use anything with mineral oil!! It will make you break out even more... I%26#039;ve learned that the hard way! Also, lotions with shea and cocoa butter are great, but AHA and Glycolic are the best to me.
GOOD LUCK!

it was depressingly awful, i defineatly was shedding tears over the issue, i was scared it%26#039;d stay like that till after i delivered!
well i started drinking a gallon of water a day [not originally for the acne reason itself] and i use the velocity facewash and moisterizer by mary-kay at least 2-3 times a day, and after doing this for 3 weeks straight, my acne is completely cleared up from my face, back, and chest!! i seriously have not one pimple on me right now!
i feel so releaved and happy! i feel like myself again! I%26#039;m going to start drinking less water each day bc its hard to always drink a gallon! lol hopfully it won%26#039;t make a difference though.
And that%26#039;s my succuss story! lol =)
Good luck with everything! %26lt;3|||Water. Lots of water. All the products I use dried out my skin like crazy, and the lotions, even the oily skin lotion, made me greasy again.

Once I upped my water, my skin completely cleared up.. i%26#039;d go as far as to say it%26#039;s never been healthier looking.

What is the best facial cleanser for oily/acne prone skin?
What is the best cleanser that cleans deep down into pores and removes dirt, oil, and makeup, that also kills bacteria that causes acne breakouts while it tones skin?|||I have oily skin too so I know it can be a pain (especially in summer). Here are some causes of oily skin and also my personal regimen for getting rid of oil. Hope it helps. Good luck. =)
Several things can cause oily skin: heredity, diet, hormonal levels, pregnancy, humidity, hot weather, and in women; cosmetics and birth control pills.
On the plus side, your skin will age slower =) but on the negative side, oily skin promotes enlarged and clogged pores, black heads and sometimes acne.
To cleanse your oily skin, use oil-based cleansers because they dissolve oil (an example would be: Forever Young, Emollient Facial Cleanser; you can find it here: http://www.opcforyourhealth.com/fy_clean鈥?/a> ) and hot water (this also helps to dissolve oil).
For moisturizing (which you still need to do鈥?unless you want more wrinkles when you get older), use oil-free moisturizers (an example would be: Physicians Formula, Oil Control, Oil Free Moisturizer; You can find it here: http://www.ulta.com/control/product/~pro鈥?/a> ). This will help to maintain a shine-free complexion.
Another good way of absorbing oils is clay or mud masks. If you have sensitive skin, look for white or rose colored clays. Once or twice a week you should use a clarifying mask to remove build up.|||Ive heard biore is good or noxema ive tried noxema but since i didnt have oily skin it made my skin kinda dry|||Oily skin:

What is the most effective over-the-counter acne treatment for acne prone skin?
try smashing orange peels and put a little amount of milk until it becomes like a paste. rub it on your face and leave it for 30 mins. then wash your face and rub fresh garlic on you acne and leave it overnight. it%26#039;s kinda stinky but it usually works. try it for 2-3 days..there%26#039;s nothing to lose. ....
...if preparing the orange peel and milk paste is too much work for you, you can just try rubbing garlic on your acne. hope this helps...|||Getting a treatment for your acne may involve you being able to know what skin type you have. This is important in your choice of appropriate acne product to use.

Start by eliminating trans fats and eating more fruits and vegetables. Once you start cleaning up the inside of your body, by eating properly, the outside of your body (your skin) will be get cleaned up too. I started a website to document my problem and solution.

You might find it helpful to read my story. Just remember to eat an all natural/organic diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. Stay away from processed foods.

St. Ives Apricot Scrub for Oily or Acne Prone Skin: Is this safe to buy for my daughter?
I want to buy a good skin cleanser for my 13 year old daughter, but don%26#039;t know what all the chemicals are. Does anyone know anything about the ingredients in the St Ives Apricot Scrub?|||Here%26#039;s some of the ingredients...
! Salicylic Acid (2%) (For treatment of acne) -
Salicylic acid is readily absorbed from the skin and may cause toxicity, particularly in children and the newborn. Herbal products such as the chinese medicated oil which contains methyl salicylate is also absorbed through gastrointestinal mucosa following ingestion. [2], [3]
Some people particularly asthmatics, exhibit marked sensitivity to salicylate, resulting in various reactions including urticaria and other skin eruptions, angioneuritis, oedema, rhinitis and severe and even fatal paroxysmal bronchospasm and dyspnea, hypotension, shock and syncope. Despite the fact that the symptoms (such as the ones mentioned above) resemble anaphylaxis, this reaction does not appear to be immunological in nature. It may be a shunt towards the lipoxygenase pathway leading to an increased production of leukotrienes and other inflammatory mediators. [4]
The relationship between the use of salicylate and Reye%26#039;s syndrome in children and adolescents (mostly 5 to 15 years) has been demonstrated by epidemiological studies.[5]
Salicylic acid can make people more susceptible to the damaging effects of the sun, including sunburn. At a meeting in February 2000, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel, the cosmetic industry%26#039;s independent body for reviewing the safety of cosmetic ingredients, reached the tentative conclusion that the use of salicylic acid related substances in cosmetics is %26quot;safe as used when formulated to avoid irritation and when formulated to avoid increased sun sensitivity.%26quot; CIR added that %26quot;when sun sensitivity would be expected, directions for use [should] include the daily use of sun protection.%26quot; [6]
Propylene Glycol -
In certain medicines, cosmetics, and food products, propylene glycol acts as an emulsifying agent, industrial drying agent, surfactant, and solvent. It has been shown to cause contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals.[8]
Dermal: Absorption may be rapid: in an infant with burns who received cream containing propylene glycol for ten consecutive days, cardiopulmonary arrest occurred one hour after the cream had been re-administered after a two-day drug-free interval.[9]
Local irritation and hypersensitivity reactions may occur. Systemic effects are less marked than after oral ingestion and are more likely after repeated administration. However, there is evidence that systemic effects may immediately follow local application.[10]
Sodium Laureth Sulfate -
Sodium laureth sulfate, or sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), is a detergent and surfactant found in many personal care products (soaps, shampoos, toothpaste etc.). It is an inexpensive and very effective foamer. Products containing these substances can affect those prone to eczema and other irritants. These chemicals provide a foaming quality to the product, allowing for better distribution of the product while washing hair or skin and while brushing teeth. When rinsed off, the product will have cleaned the area but will have taken moisture from the top layers of skin. In people with sensitive skin (prone to dermatitis, acne, eczema, psoriasis and chemical sensitivity), the drying property of these type of detergents can cause flare-ups of skin conditions or may worsen existing conditions[11].
Cocamidopropyl Betaine -
Cocamidopropyl betaine is a surfactant coming into wide use in shampoos and other cleansing products. Recent reports have implicated it as a potential allergen, although it is less irritating than other surfactants such as sodium lauryl sulfate. Cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB) is a surfactant, and reports of allergic contact dermatitis to this chemical have been reported in the literature. Although most commonly found in rinse-off products, the chemical nonetheless has been shown to induce allergy. The actual component responsible for allergic reaction may be the final compound itself, CAPB, or one of the substances used in its synthesis that may be present as an impurity. Allergy to CAPB is most commonly seen in a head and neck distribution, although other patterns have been identified[12].
Trithanolamine -
737 patients with suspected cosmetic- or medicament-related contact dermatitis were patch tested with 6 emulsifier agents: triethanolamine, cetyl stearyl alcohol, sorbitan sesquioleate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monopalmitate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, and Amerchol L 101. 39 patients (5.3%) gave 1 or more positive patch tests to emulsifiers. A total of 54 positive reactions were found, 23 of which were clinically relevant, triethanolamine being the most frequent sensitizer. Patients with emulsifier sensitivity generally give a high prevalence of positive patch tests to other common ingredients of topical preparations, such as preservatives or active ingredients. Cosmetics and topical medicaments were detected as the source of sensitization in an equal number of patients. Patch tests with patients%26#039; own causative preparations were frequently negative. To avoid overlooking emulsifier sensitivity, it is advisable to test these compounds in patients with contact dermatitis that is possibly due to topical preparations, regardless of whether they have other clinically relevant positive reactions or whether patch tests with their own products are negative[13].

Best face moisturizer for acne prone skin?

however, I also used other products, such a depp action facial cleansing wipes and blackhead cleanser, etc. (:
Also that stuff that reduces spots in 4 hours is good!
But it%26#039;s important to find something suitable for your skin, so try a few things before settling for one :D|||you should get a facial moisturizer that is oil free and preferably organic or anti-allergenic.
Try whole foods, or target if you%26#039;re into more name brand stuff.
also if you find one that you like, try to find it in bulk in any store so that you can use less and pay less.

What's the best full-coverage Foundation for acne-prone skin?
I have combo/ acne prone skin. When my face breaks out I want to stick my head in a paper sack, but the next best thing is make up. I have tried Prescriptives Virtual Matte and like it. I also tried a sample of MAC Studio fx, but nowhere does it say %26quot;noncomedogenic%26quot;, and this worries me. I want my make-up to cover up my blemishy face, and not appear %26quot;cakey%26quot; at the end of the day. What will give my unperfect, acne blemished face a flawless appearance?|||bare escentuals is the best. I had horrible acne and couldn%26#039;t find the right make up 2 cover my acne scars. I well never ever go back to any other make up line. Theirs is the best. There lipsticks and glosses even cured my severe chapped lips.|||Lancome has the best powder and foundation. They are light and do not cake. It covers really well. Its also hypo allergenic and doesnt clog your pores. Hope everything works out for ya!|||best thing is no make up at all for a few days til u clear up
i had the same problem in HS so i stopped wearing make up for a few days.
run a face cloth under hot water at night... steaming hot though...
ring it out and blot your face...
wash in the shower but never dry your face... let it drip dry... then do the wash cloth thing
it opens your pores and cleanses them
best thing for acne...
dont use foundation... worst thing for you..
use a concealer to cover blemishes... then use a small amount of powder ...
best is to not use anything....|||Try a lighter option such as tinted moisturiser or the new Maybelline oil-free.|||I have been using Bare Minerals by Bare Escentuals. If you get the starter kit it comes with everything you need. I use the concealer brush dipped into the foundation first to cover areas I need a little extra and then swirl more all over to even out my skin. My acne actually cleared up. It%26#039;s nice to feel like your skin is breathing all day. I would recommend going to a store that carries it to have them demonstrate it on your skin. If you%26#039;re close to a Sephora store, stop on in they%26#039;re great there!|||First of all stop trying to look flawless. You are not a mannequin. Your skin will never be flawless. Right now you just want to conceal. Try any foundation that is oil-free and hypo-allergenic. Also liquid foundation seems to provide the best finish.
Conceal blemishes with a concealer stick and smudge on liquid foundation. Remember to properly cleanse your skin first, tone and moisturize. Apply acne medication then concealer, then foundation.
The most important tip I can give you is to not touch your face with your hands during the day. You touch all types of things during the day. When you touch your face you are putting nasty bacterias onto your acne prone skin. After you eat wash your hands, after you touch something wash your hands. Carry some hand sanitizer in your purse.
At night use those make up remover cloths to remove all your make up. Then cleanse your skin with an acne cleanser never soap. Apply toner, then apply an oil free moisturizer.
Do not forget the acne medication. Benzyol Peroxide works best. If you are allergic or have sensitive skin, like me, try salicylic acid.
Most important...DO NOT PICK YOUR ACNE. BACTERIA...BACTERIA!
Drink lots of water and exercise or do some type of sweating activity. It is good for you skin.
I hope these suggestions help!!!!!!!!!!
GOOD LUCK!|||use bare minerals its is nothing but natural minerals and it covers alll thing including acne but wont make it worse. im a girl by the way:)|||I would also suggest Bare Minerals. No irritants, or preservatives, and the minerals are completely natural and don%26#039;t support bacteria. I was skeptical, thinking it was a powder so it%26#039;s bound to look cakey. But trust me, the mica ingredient makes it really creamy when you buff it on. You%26#039;ll feel like you%26#039;re not wearing makeup! Your skin will breathe and you%26#039;ll feel better about the coverage you%26#039;re getting while your skin is healing underneath.|||Hi,
I found the bare essentials did not cover the dark acne marks left.
I have oily skin too and it%26#039;s some more acne prone. More than acne, it%26#039;s the scarring left behind that I try to cover.
One foundation that works incredibly is CoverFx . it%26#039;s a compact foundation. With this, I dont have to use a concelear. Just the foundation covers well and it didn%26#039;t cause a breakout.
I actually broke out when i tried prescriptives.
Shiseido has also worked well for me, but my colors keep getting discontinued. I found my perfect tone in Cover Fx since it comes in 40 shades.|||I know it might be uncomfortable for you but the best thing to do while waiting for a breakout to clear up is to wear no makeup at all =/. Makeup can only aggravate the skin even more and create more pimples by clogging up the pores. If you find it absolutley neccessary to cover up however, I suggest Bare Minerals. It shouldn%26#039;t cause any more breakouts. The only trick with applying that makeup is that less really is more. Learn how to properly apply it and you should love it!

best is to not use anything....|||Try a lighter option such as tinted moisturiser or the new Maybelline oil-free.|||I have been using Bare Minerals by Bare Escentuals. If you get the starter kit it comes with everything you need. I use the concealer brush dipped into the foundation first to cover areas I need a little extra and then swirl more all over to even out my skin. My acne actually cleared up. It%26#039;s nice to feel like your skin is breathing all day. I would recommend going to a store that carries it to have them demonstrate it on your skin. If you%26#039;re close to a Sephora store, stop on in they%26#039;re great there!|||First of all stop trying to look flawless. You are not a mannequin. Your skin will never be flawless. Right now you just want to conceal. Try any foundation that is oil-free and hypo-allergenic. Also liquid foundation seems to provide the best finish.
Conceal blemishes with a concealer stick and smudge on liquid foundation. Remember to properly cleanse your skin first, tone and moisturize. Apply acne medication then concealer, then foundation.
The most important tip I can give you is to not touch your face with your hands during the day. You touch all types of things during the day. When you touch your face you are putting nasty bacterias onto your acne prone skin. After you eat wash your hands, after you touch something wash your hands. Carry some hand sanitizer in your purse.
At night use those make up remover cloths to remove all your make up. Then cleanse your skin with an acne cleanser never soap. Apply toner, then apply an oil free moisturizer.
Do not forget the acne medication. Benzyol Peroxide works best. If you are allergic or have sensitive skin, like me, try salicylic acid.
Most important...DO NOT PICK YOUR ACNE. BACTERIA...BACTERIA!
Drink lots of water and exercise or do some type of sweating activity. It is good for you skin.
I hope these suggestions help!!!!!!!!!!
GOOD LUCK!|||use bare minerals its is nothing but natural minerals and it covers alll thing including acne but wont make it worse. im a girl by the way:)|||I would also suggest Bare Minerals. No irritants, or preservatives, and the minerals are completely natural and don%26#039;t support bacteria. I was skeptical, thinking it was a powder so it%26#039;s bound to look cakey. But trust me, the mica ingredient makes it really creamy when you buff it on. You%26#039;ll feel like you%26#039;re not wearing makeup! Your skin will breathe and you%26#039;ll feel better about the coverage you%26#039;re getting while your skin is healing underneath.|||Hi,
I found the bare essentials did not cover the dark acne marks left.
I have oily skin too and it%26#039;s some more acne prone. More than acne, it%26#039;s the scarring left behind that I try to cover.
One foundation that works incredibly is CoverFx . it%26#039;s a compact foundation. With this, I dont have to use a concelear. Just the foundation covers well and it didn%26#039;t cause a breakout.
I actually broke out when i tried prescriptives.
Shiseido has also worked well for me, but my colors keep getting discontinued. I found my perfect tone in Cover Fx since it comes in 40 shades.|||I know it might be uncomfortable for you but the best thing to do while waiting for a breakout to clear up is to wear no makeup at all =/. Makeup can only aggravate the skin even more and create more pimples by clogging up the pores. If you find it absolutley neccessary to cover up however, I suggest Bare Minerals. It shouldn%26#039;t cause any more breakouts. The only trick with applying that makeup is that less really is more. Learn how to properly apply it and you should love it!

A sunscreen for everyday wear and for sports too.|||try having moisturizer on your skin....:D|||Cosmedicine Medi-Matte Oil Control Lotion SPF 20
This sunscreen is perfect for skin that is prone to acne,( I use it everyday it works awesome!)

What are some good products for dry acne-prone skin?
I have acne prone skin, but every time I go to buy something, people try to sell me something for oily skin, and because my skin is dry, it gets dried out more, so then it turns into a flaky mess. I tried Proactiv... it dried me out. If you want to recommend something, please also use the name of the actual cleanser. Thanks soooo much|||It is important to keep spot-prone areas clean, so wash the affected area twice a day with a perfume-free cleanser. Do bear in mind that the skin needs a certain amount of oil to maintain its natural condition. Therefore, avoid washing your face many times, that too, with a strong soap. I would recommend Cetaphil and Neutrogena face washes as they are mild and good for cleaning acne-affected skin.

Whats the best way to treat acne prone skin without takign medicine. What worked fo others?
first of all, avoid using products formulatted with mineral oil and animal products. These do not get absorbed by the skin and what it does is that it clogs your pores. In fact mineral oil is the 2nd worse thing you could do to your skins health #1 is the sun, it is like rubbing car oil on your skin and exposing yourself to the sun... Animal product come form rendering plants, these plants pick all dead animals from the road, meatmarkets etc and what they do is put them in a huge pot and squash everything inside and boil it the oil that comes to the top is what other companies use to formulate their %26quot;beauty%26quot; products ... gross i know.. eww lipstick and aghhh .. anyway, the important thing to do is read your ingredients and use the right ones regularly .... also bathing daily cleanses the skin, but it also can dry it out, causing it to look dull, but most importantly, it may cause irritation and remove the natural emolients your body produces to keep it healthy. When you bathe, always use a moisture-rich cleanser, and always pamper your skin with a daily moisturizer. I use arbonne products.... https://secure.myarbonne.com/arbonne/arb鈥?/a> because they are botanically based and you could really see the difference, i had acne and lots of blemishes and my skin has cleared so much, it really is amazing and they have everything for everybody.... theire deep pore cleansing mask and their scrub is just perfect for eliminating the blackheads. Also their face wash is great because it cleanses without drying and removes all traces of makeup and dirt.... works wonderful for me and the bes thing is that you could shop online, receive it in your house and if ther is something you do not like about the products which is rarely to happen, you return the item and they give your money back .... also check this site from the fox news about toxins in beauty products..... http://easylink.playstream.com/ydc/Arbon鈥?/a>|||I recommend Clinique products.

3. The %26quot;repairing lotion%26quot; is a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide solution that is in the right PH range and doesn%26#039;t contain other irritating ingredients.

What is a good moisturizer for acne-prone skin?
My skin is like combination and I have acne but not really bad,
And I used to use some Dove moisturizer I think but I think it had oil in it so it didn%26#039;t do much for my skin.
Anyone know a good one I can buy at a drugstore or walmart?|||Sandi B, I started having really bad acne problems beginning when I was in college. I had acne on my back that was really making me self-concious. I tried Proactiv, Zyporex, and even the Asso Gold Cleaning Bar with so-so results. I wound up visitng a local dermatologist. After 4 months nearly all of my acne cleared up. I suggest you try differnent products until you find one that works for your body type. http://www.goodinternetdeals.com/Acne.html|||I use the sensitive skin lotion that Olay makes. I think they%26#039;re calling it something odd now... *Goes to get the bottle*
It%26#039;s called %26quot;Olay Active Hydrating Beauty Fluid%26quot;. xD Wowsers.
Anyway, it%26#039;s a very nice, light, oil-free moisturizer that works well with acne-prone skin. And it doesn%26#039;t cost that much, too.
If you don%26#039;t like that, just make sure you get a lotion that is oil-free, non-comedogenic (doesn%26#039;t clog pores), and preferably fragrance- and color-free as well.|||Acne are the most common skin problem, which usually appear in the teenage due to hormonal imbalance in the body.

What's the best face scrub and toner for oily acne-prone skin?
Please, if it%26#039;s neutrogena, don%26#039;t just say neutrogena cause there are a lot of them, give a specific name. Thanks.|||Beware of using any products for acne unless they have been prescribed or recommended by your doctor. Often antibiotics are needed to treat acne, so you should see a doctor about it.
People make all kinds of suggestions about the best thing to do to cure acne. Some cures I’ve heard include putting oatmeal, honey, lemon juice, tea tree oil, cucumber, vinegar, milk of magnesia or toothpaste on your face. Practically every cosmetics company and company that makes personal care products makes something that is a “sure cure” for acne. If we think about this, and use some common sense, we have to come to the conclusion that there is no quick or easy cure for acne, because if there was it would be well known and doctors would be telling everyone about it.
Numerous companies make a lot of money persuading people to buy products that at worst will make the acne worse, and at best may help some people a little. Often fewer products are better. People often make their acne much worse by using too many products. There really is no quick fix for acne. Don’t spend a lot of money on products just because their ads say that they will cure acne. Your doctor is the best person to ask for help, and he or she may recommend some prescription medication or non-prescription treatment that may be suitable for you..
There are some very simple and basic things you can do that cost nothing. Keep your face or any other area affected by acne very clean. Any mild antibacterial soap will help with that. Rinse the area well to remove all soap residue. Drink plenty of water – it really does help to clear up acne. Eat a nutritious diet and get enough sleep. A healthy life style will make a difference. Try to reduce the stress in your life – stress contributes to acne, so also probably the more you worry about the acne and focus on it, the worse it will be.
Probably the most useful and effective things you can do are to apply hot compresses to pustules and cysts and never to pick or squeeze pimples. Playing with or popping pimples, no matter how careful and clean you are, nearly always makes bumps stay redder and bumpier longer.
Here are a few informative links with additional ideas about preventing and treating acne.
