If an acne cream is labeled Skin Tone, is that ethnically incorrect? I saw an acne medication labeled Skin Tone, and the color is a light pinkish color - intended for Caucasian people. So, what about people who aren't Caucasian, such as African Americans and East Indians - would people of those ethnicities be offended seeing an acne cream labeled Skin Tone when the color is clearly not intended for their darker skin color?

How do I apply this acne cream on my skin? I was prescribed "Tretinoin" 0.025% It says "Apply to the effected area before bedtime" When it says "effected" does it mean the whole face, or just the zits? Also, when I apply it, do I leave the cream to a visible "WHITE" color or keep on rubbing until the white is gone? Also, can I use any other acne treatments, like clearsil daily wash? Something that just washes my face in the morning, then I use it at night then I apply the cream.

Dry skin due to prescription acne cream? I have been prescribed: Tretinoin Cream USP 0.05%, and Clindamycin 1% Gel 30 GM, for acne. Both of these eliminate acne almost perfectly for me, the only problem is they dry my skin out to the poin where it stings, and peels. I have tried Aveeno Active Naturals-Daily Moisturizing Lotion for my dry skin problems, but it has not worked. Usually it works that i put the prescribed acne products on for one day or a few hours at a time, and then my skin will peel for about 4 days, even with lotion on 24/7. Any suggestions on how to follow the directions on the prescriptions "Apply to Face Once Daily", and not have to worry about horribly dry skin?

Is Covergirl's Advanced Radiance cream foundation good for acne-prone skin? i've been using Maybelline clear smooth gel foundation for several years now because it doesn't cause my skin to break out, and it's really great.

Can you please answer these 5 questions on acne and skin? 1.) Why is it bad to dry out your skin? Aren't you supposed to if you have acne to clear it up? 2.) Can you get acne from washing your face too much? 3.) Is your face naturally supposed to be a little oily, or does that mean it is clogging your pores and causing acne? 4.) I know Benzoyl Peroxide dries up your acne, but what does medicated or prescribed acne cream from the doctor do? 5.) Are there different types of acne, like blackheads, or is blackheads another way of saying acne?

Ponds Cold Cream for combination, acne-prone skin? I was told by an esthetician friend that I should try Ponds Cold Cream to help even out my "extreme" combination skin (very dry cheeks and very oily, shiny and acne-prone t-zone). I've been using the new MediBac line for adult acne by Dermalogica, it's been alright for the acne but it makes my cheeks so dry that it flakes! It's also $40 for the kit, so if a $4 product MIGHT help, I'll gladly try it. But before I do, if anyone here has had any experience with it, please share! I wouldn't want to try it only to get a face full of zits :). Thanks! I've been using the Dermalogica kit for about a week and a half now, like I said it's clearing up my acne, but I'm getting light flaking on my cheeks. Before that I washed my face twice a day with "Purity Made Simple" by Philosophy, and followed by a light Aveeno moisturizer. Did that for about a year and while I constantly had small acne problems on my t-zones, it kept the rest of my face in pretty good shape. I was ready to try something new, so I gave the Dermalogica kit a try.

is it bad for your skin if you use two different acne treatment creams? I used ProActiv for a while but my dermatologist prescribed me a different acne washing cream.

Will it only make acne worse?
when do you use a moisturizer when you are using an acne cream and your skin gets too dry? i do realize that since i'm using excessive acne medication i need a moisturizer, but i dont know when to put on a moisturizer, i use the acne medication 8 hours in the day, and then take a shower, and wear nothing for 2-4 hours, and then as i head to bed, put on the acne medication until morning wash it off, and reapply... anyways, if i do put on moisturizer, do i put it on when im wearing nothing on my face? do i have to put it on daily? and im just wondering, but it is alright to cover my face with the moisturizer and acne medication at the same time?

What acne cream(s)/kits should I use to clear my skin most effectively and most quickly? I've had a couple of pimples since 6th grade, but nothing too harsh. It usually went away within a couple of days. Since then I've been almost clear until this past summer where I started experiencing blemishes on my cheeks (and side of my face). Now I've tried using Clean and Clear products for almost a month now (not the kit) and it worked for a while but now it stopped showing any progress. I also have used differin but it did the same thing and the benzoyl peroxide wash 10% (Rx) did the same thing as well. I need a formula which will fight pimples and one which will not give up half way.
