what over the counter acne medications work?
Friday, December 28th, 2007Acne medications??????
Monday, December 17th, 2007I’ve been using benzalcin and retin-a for about 10 months noww. It improved my skin at first. but now it seems like they’re starting not to work. I have more pimples now and my skin overall makes me want to scream until my throat goes raw. I’m going to the dermatologist soon and I was wondering if you think there’s something (creams, regimes, etc) that I should take and would help.
I’m not sure about using antibiotics. I’m trying to steer away from that as much as possible. but please tell if you had any success with antibiotics. and is it true it does clear up skin but comes back worse if you stop using them?

Acne medications?
Wednesday, December 12th, 2007How hard are acne medications on your liver and body?
Right now I’m using 4. I’m using one for my forehead and sides of face and neck, then one for the rest of my face then one I use once a week for exfoliation. Then I use a moisturizer…
Is that too much? I really dont want liver cancer when I get older. I’m 15.
Thanks.
I use the face wash kind of stuff where you wash off after like a minute. but I do use a moisturizer and on the spot stuff.
