I'm 19, nearly 20, and all through HS I had clear skin. The summer after graduating (07) I started to get a few breakouts now and again. But since then, almost 2 years now I've been getting worse and worse acne. I went to a dermatologist last week for another issue and brought up my acne and since it's mostly small pimples and breakouts she put me on two different topical treatments. I wash my face every morning and every night and after I wash I put Clindamycin on in the morning and Differin on in the evenings. The first 2days it got worse, as I expected. It's been a week now and my face looks better already. However, it's drying my skin out as expected and I was curious as to what kind/brand of moisturizer I should use because I really don't want to go in reverse here.

As gentle as possible. St. Ives Vitamin E moisturizer.

One thing about acne medication is that it does dry out your skin. I had really bad acne and I started using Mary Kay. Whether you have acne, it's always good to use a moisturizer and they have a 3-in-1 cleanser for oily skin and a moisturizer that goes with it. I've been using Mary Kay cleanser and moisturizer for years now because it was the only thing that cleared up my skin with drying my face out. If you want go to Mary Kay Inc.: Makeup, skin care, beauty tips, virtual makeover (http://www.marykay.com). The line I'm referring to is called Timewise.
