Skin regime Question
I usually use a product that is 2.0% Salicylic Acid (a wash) and a
Benzyl Peroxide 10% cream. Then a moisturizer with the sync oxide. In
the shower. I'll use a normal face wash such as the ones by Clearasil. I haven't been able to find an affordable Salicylic Acid 2.0% cream to
rub on my face. I do this with the Benzyl Peroxide. Any ideas which is
better? BP is good for spot treatment.
Should I add a Glyic Acid/Alpha Hydrox moisturizer to this? I've yet to
find a moisturizer that includes Gylic Acid. I know Alpha Hydrox
products do. but they are expensive.
have you tried a none name brand of Salicylic Acid?
Eckerd's brand is usually pretty cheap.
I STILL have industrial strength oily skin and
acne. Here's what I use and what works for me...it's not advise. but
after lots of trial and error since the age of 11. I gently wash with Dial soap and luke warm water (never scrub!).
Period.
In the morning it's Stridex Triple Action. Maximum Strength (Alcohol
Free!) applied gently. I wait a few minutes and then apply a
moisturizer that works...currently I am very in love with Aveeno Daily
Moisturizer. Ultra-Calming SPF 15. I've only been using it for three
months or so. but my skin really likes it ALOT. In the past I've used
others that work for me as well. like Rachel Perry Visible Transition
10% Alpha & Beta Hydroxy Serum with CoQ-10. Alpha Hydrox Oil-Free
Formula. and good old (and cheap.) Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion.
At night. after washing again with Dial. I use Oxy Maximum Acne
Treatment and the moisturizer. I apply a little bit of the Oxy Benzoyl
Peroxide 10% in the palm of my hand and then squeeze on an equal amount
of the moisturizer (like the Aveeno). I mix it well with my finger
from the other hand and then apply. Works like a charm. You may want
to experiment a little until you get it just right for your skin. but
for me NOTHING but 10% benzoyl mixed with equal amounts of moisturizer
does the trick. And don't even get me started about those 2.5%
products. No clue what that's about. but my face no likey. No way. I
might as well be putting spit on my face. lol
There you are. my friend. My two cents worth. Again. not advice but
only my habits...or regimen. if you will. I have tried everything
friggin thing under the sun and this routine is what does it for my
skin.
