Acne/skin care while pregnant?
Hi. Do you all know of anything I use to combat acne while pregnant? I would prefer something that doesn’t need a prescription. I had bad acne before, and it just seems worse now. I was using Differin (prescription), but it’s bad for the baby so I was told to stop.
Thanks!

So, there’s nothing simple that can be bought at Walgreens that I can use?
Try Cedaphil face wash. It is hypoallergenic. this is what I was told by my doctor to use.
My skin is typically oily, but since becoming pregnant, it got really sensitive and dry. Cedaphil actually dried my face out so I have to use a moisturizer too. Hopefully this will help for you!
BTW - you can get this at any walgreens, walmart, target, etc.
What is the best acne skin care for oily skin?
I’m 17 & I have really bad acne & blackheads and oily skin but i work in fast food so i’m around oil ALL the time and it seems to only make it worst. what can i use to help control & get rid of my acne & blackheads?
I have acne to but ever since I started using Biore my skin is so much better but I’m still working on making it better, but you need about 5 products and that will cost around $25-$30 but they last. I’ve been doing this for about 3 weeks and I have not had any break outs.
In the morning use Biore Pore Minimizing Face wash. It has a few beads and is almost like a hair gel texture. I find it reduces shine and I gets really foamy when some water is added. I like that product a lot.
In the day time when your at work you should use Biore cleansing cloths on your breaks, they are all ready moist so you don’t need to add water.
Before you go to sleep use Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub, some people say not to use a scrub everyday but this is very mild with not to many beads it also makes your face feel cold after. Wash that off then apply Biore skin recharging foaming cleanser it is very relaxing, wash off that then apply Clean&Clear spot treatment invisable.
Good luck!
What’s the best daily acne skin care routine for me?
I’ve been switching from drugstore to drugstore brand for 4 years now, ever since I started having acne [adolescent]. My mom has been complaining that I buy too many skin care products and in a way, I do because I can’t find the perfect daily regimen!
I have some really weird skin. From my mother’s side, I get ridiculously [and I mean ridiculously (my sister had to go to the doctor for prescribed acne medications)] oily, pimply skin. From my dad’s side, I get dry (occasionally greasy) skin w/ allergies (I have ezema).
My face right now suffers from acne and even worse acne when it’s "that time of the month". My skin is super sensitive and I have red, dry spots.
In this economy, I want to do my mom a favor and keep it to drugstore brand skin care products. Here’s what’s under my sink [there's A LOT]:
Exfoliants:
`St. Ives Oil Free Apricot Scrub - Invigorating
`Neutrogena Deep Clean Oil Free Gentle Scrub
Cleansers:
`Clean & Clear Morning Burst Detoxifying Facial Cleanser with Oxygen-infused formula
`Biore Revitalize 4-in-1 Self-Foaming Cleanser
Acne Cleanser (2% Salicylic Acid):
`Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash - Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub
`Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Cleanser
Moisturizer:
`Biore Nourish Oil-Free Moisture Lotion SPF 15
`Neutrogena Pore Refining Cream Daily Moisturizer SPF 15 (Retinol and Alpha-Hydroxy Acid Formula)
`Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisturizer - Combination Skin
On-the-Go:
`Aveeno Clear Complexion Daily Cleansing Pads (0.5% Salicylic Acid)
Don’t worry! I don’t use all of these everyday =D. Right now, I’m picking aand choosing one to use every week and then I usually switch around.
Anyone care to help w/ what I should do for a day and night routine?
Also, I’m also starting to look into make-up (foundation, consealer, loose powder). Any tips on that routine as well?
10 POINTS, I PROMISE!
the few facial make-up products i have lying around but don’t use:
`Covergirl TruBlend Minerals - Mineral Pressed Powder
`Almay Clear Complexion Oil-Free Concealer (1.0% Salicylic Acid)

Oh my gosh, me too! I have an extreemly oily face, but it also gets extreemly dry after I wash it and peels, I also get acne all over.
Actually, I found I new product, though, that doesn’t dry out my face after I use it and keeps it remotely normal throughout the day. I’ve only used it a couple days, though, and I don’t know that it’s helping my acne much, but besides that it really feels (and smells) quite good.
It’s Organique by Himalaya. I’ve been using their Exfoliating Walnut & Wood Apple Face Scrub, which is incredibly gentle (I also have sensitive skin) but effective. It doesn’t dry out my skin at all. I’ve also used their Neem & Turmeric Face Wash, which kind of dries out my skin but not near as much as popular brands (such as clean & clear or Clearasil). It smells really good (at least to me) and makes my skin look incredibly fresh. I’ve only used this twice, so I don’t know if it’ll help my acne, either. But I’m already in love with it.
I really suggest you try that brand. But, as for your current routine it sounds pretty good. Just trade off using each one. Use a cleanser, then exfoliant, then a moisturizer in the morning (to remove dead skin cells and rejuvenate the skin). At night use your most gentle cleanser and a moisturizer if necessary (because oils drip from your hair at night, causing more acne, so if you don’t need a moisturizer don’t use one). Also, be sure you clean your hair really well because that may be part of the reason your face is so oily.
For a make-up routine, since you have an oily but dry face, use a packed powder after putting on your moisturizer (make sure it is all the way dry before putting on any makeup). Then mascara and a lip gloss or balm is sufficient. Physicians Formula is a fantastic drugstore brand for sensitive, acne-prone skin.
Since you do have extreemly oily skin, as do I, I highly recommend getting Oil Blotting Sheets (Clean & Clear and Neutrogena are the most popular brands that have them). I use the Neutrogena ones and just carry them in my backpack then use them after a gym class and during Lunch (so, mid-day). They will remove oil and shine from your face, without removing your makeup.
Good Luck!
What is the best way to get rid of acne?
I have used many face washes that are supposed to clear acne, I use the whole bottle of that and then it never clears the acne. Anyone have any things that they use to clear their acne?
Also, are there any make-up products that work really well to cover up acne? If you do know I would appreciate the help.
Thank you!
Hi
If you really want to get rid of your acne there are two recommended methods that should combined together (if you can afford it) for best results.
Firstly and more important in my opinion, you must learn how you should fix the internal problem that’s causing your acne, not just masking the symptoms or getting relief.
There are only few decent Ebooks and acne cure programs that can teach you exactly how to cure your acne from the inside.
Where medicine has failed them the authors have done their own research and found a way to overcome acne. In their programs they share their valuable knowledge with other acne sufferers. Anyhow, be very careful because many of them are pure crap with little value.
You can learn about one of the best guides that helped many people to treat their acne naturally in this helpful article:

The second thing that you need to do is to get good acne skin product that will be suitable for your skin.
There are many acne skinskin care products available in the market in these days and it’s not easy to choose the product that will give you the best results.
When choosing your product make sure to check that you get at least 2 months full guarantee. Some of the big names in the industry are:
ClearPores, Acuzine, Acnezine, Proactiv, Vilante and some others.
In my experience Clearpores cleansing system work very well. Check this website to learn a lot more about this great system:

I hope that these tips will be helpful for you

-cetaphil gentle face wash
-100% tea tree oil (spot treatment)
INFO;
ive tried the neutrogena oil-free acne wash in the past and it did work but it was over drying so i changed to cetaphil and its great i have recently bought tea tree oil for a spot treatment but i dont know if the neutrogena and cetaphil will be too harsh for my skin if i use them together.
The best treatment is to eat all fresh foods and drink plenty of water and forget wasting your money on all of these creams etc.Only wash your face with cold water .Have a go and you will notice a inprovement with your skin.All the best.
