ok i'm on benza clin in the mornings and tazorac at night. i also take a pill (dynacin) twice a day. i've been on all of this for about...probably 3 years now, ever since i started getting acne problems. my acne's "under control" but definitely not as good as i'd like; i still get zits with frequency, the area where they are just shifts from my forehead to chin to above my chin....

so basically i'm getting pretty fed up with all of this because going to school and seeing all the girls with clear skin is pretty demoralizing. and i was on the boarRAB and everyone was saying cetaphil was really good in clearing skin and everything. what i'm wondering is will it work if i have oily skin that can get flaky when i apply lotion??? because i tried aveeno and thats what happened. also, when do i put on the moisturizer, after the topicals?

help on any of that would be awesome!! thanks so much!
 
i always put on mosturizer after topicals and i use the cetaphil cream (its thicker than the lotion.) the only problem is that it definitely makes your skin look greasy after a while, but i found that it's mosturizing enough to stop skin-flaking.
 
Nutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Acne Moisturiser is good (moisturises AND unclogs poores with salacylic acid)

Olay is non greasy but very hydrating
 
if you are already using a topical cream, don't use anything with salacylic acid in it as well... The best brand I ever found was Moisturel, but they stopped selling it in stores. I use Nivea now, but I'm still searching. I didn't like the Cetaphil lotion, felt too greasy for me.
