Has anyone been on these acne medications?

serendipity1187 asked:


Adoxa (pill)
Tazorac (cream)
Duac (gel)
Benziq (face wash)

What are your experiences with them and do they work? My dermatologist has put me on all 4 of these. I take the Adoxa once a day at dinner, I use the Tazorac at night, I use the Duac in the morning, and I use the Benziq both in the morning and night.

Thanks!!!

Theodore

Any acne medications that remove acne within a couple of weeks?

Sunday, August 26th, 2007
heptacampeon asked:


I’ve been battling with acne a long time and have tried many acne medications and still am not where I want to be. I see others who have had bad acne and within weeks, have very nice skin. I don’t want to ask them what they used, but are there medications out there that give results within days or weeks?

is there really a difference in OTC acne medications?

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007
googirl77 asked:


LIke Oxy, Clerasil, Murad, AcneFree? They all seem to have the same active ingrediant…….either benzoyl peroxide or saylic acid. Even the supposedly stronger versions just seem to be more expensive? What do you think. If you are a skin specialist or just want to leave your opinion I’d appreciate the feed back.

Acne becoming immune to acne medications?

Saturday, August 11th, 2007
Karli asked:


Maybe it’s my imagination, but it seems like after 2-3 weeks of using any acne medication, it suddenly stops working for me.
This happens with every acne medicine I have tried, including Proactive. Is it possible for my skin to develop an immunity to the acne medicine? What should I do?

Any Tips For Using Bio Oil With Acne Medications?

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007
nitaipriya asked:


I wanted to try bio oil to get rid of some acne scars on my face and back. I am currently using Benza-clin Gel to treat my acne. I am afraid the Bio Oil could clog my pores or prevent the Benza-Clin from working. Is it ok to use Bio Oil and acne meds at the same time? If yes, any tips on how to include it in my regime? I am currently just washing up in the morning with a gentle clenser (Neutrogena) and applying Benza-Clin after, using a lotion with sun protection when needed (rare). Nothing in the evenings. Thank you so much for any advice.
