Recommendations for skin tr..

Recently, I went to see a dermatologist because i am unhappy about the condition of my skin.. I only get occasional breakouts -- maybe 1 or 2 pimples.. However, I have some red marks on my Tzone from either old pimples, or irritation.. They are NOT pimples.. My dermatologist prescribed a combination of Duac and Retin A Micro.. Since my skin isn't really oily or anything, this is doing a real number on it.. It's dry, red, peeling, and hurts! This is not what I wanted at all.. Can anyone suggest something that they are using for similar skin, before I give him a call? Basically, i am trying to even out my skintone, without overly drying my face.. I really don't have the kind of acne that would need these drying medicines.. Please help!!

Try the Neutrogena treatment...it comes in a box and has a face wash and a night and day cream. It has worked wonders for me. I LOVE IT!

a really good oil free moisturizer combined with a few microdermabrasion treatments will fade the red spots without drying out your skin. For the moisturizer, try Neutrogena or Cetaphil. They are both dermatologist tested and have consistently been given excellent ratings in magazines and consumer reports. Professional microdermabrasion treatments are obsenely expensive. You are better off buying the kits at the drug store. L'Oreal and Neutrogena both have come out with kits. Just follow the directions and don't do it too often or you will irritate your skin. That is the best way to get rid of scarring. Also, wear sunscreen all the time! It is the best way to prevent further damage.
