[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 260667"] I was having break outs and my son was suffering. Today (knock on wood), our skin is clear. Our routines have some similarities to them, but because we are very different in age...there are differences. We found what works really well for us is the following: Washing: Son uses Cetaphil face wash for normal to oily skin. I use this sometimes...only when I have an active break out. I usually use something very gentle...and hypoallergenic. Additionally, we both use [B]fresh wash wash clothes[/B] each time for washing and a fresh little dry wash cloth for drying each time. I have a million wash clothes. They are easy to throw in the washing machine...no problem. I'm always using fresh clothes for washing and drying my face. Never use a towel that you've used before for washing or drying. By this I mean, make sure that they are clean. Don't try to reuse them a time or two. Only one time and then put them in the wash. Keep any hint of bacteria away from the face, etc. [B]Then we both use Benzaclin RX Cream.[/B] You get it from the dermatologist. It works wonderfully! My son also takes extra [B]vitamins [/B]when he has an active breakout. [B]He takes vitamin A and Zinc.[/B] I also use [B]Retin A[/B] once or twice a week. It is strong. It stops break outs and keeps the wrinkles down..other days (most days) I use Roc Cream. I have found the [B]Benaclin and Retin A [/B]to be incredible with- reference to stopping breakouts and the Roc Cream (you can buy it at the drug store) really top notch for keeping my skin smooth. Another thing you might check into is a [B]GREEN photo matte finish to put on prior to putting on make up. [/B] These are the products that they are selling to sort of fill in lines, etc. You put your make up on over it. The green will cover any redness/pinkness. Do you have a Sephora near you? Sometimes they have really good salespeople there. Also, top notch department stores sometimes have good quality people who can be of help. Wishing you well. [/QUOTE]
