I have super dry skin that is acne prone. I also have combination skin ( the t-zone thing). I have tried every facial moisturizer/soap on the market. Is there anything anyone can recommend here?
Thanks in advance.
I have very similar type of skin.
I use Proactive solutions skin care for more than 2 years and very pleased with results.
Even if you think it cost too much it last long.
Moisturizer is scentless and contains SPF 15. Daily Oil control will help you with oily areas on your face and also helps your make up to stay on during the day.
If during the day you see an access of oil on your skin because its hot or any other reason don't rub your face. Use a tissue or a toilet paper and pat it.
And the repairing lotion is gentle enough and don't dry your skin too much like other stuff I use to try, it contain moisturizers as well.
Also Proactive has a new Green tea moisturizer that i started to use over night. It dosn't contain SPF but it's the best stuff to replanish moisture during the night time. It doesn't clog pores and very light but does the trick.
Winter is very harsh time for people with dry and combination skin. So replenishing moisture is the key. :)
P.S. I had to add something about tan. Shellie mantioned that it helps her with acne.
Suntan helps our body to produce a vitamin D. This is the only one vitamin that our body can generate on its own. But I would not recommend you a tan as a cure for acne.
First of all, not every person will have the same result. If I try to tan my face my acne gets worse. Because ultraviolet irritates your skin, rases a temperature and stimulate natural oils production. So your T-zone will get oilier and it will be a good nursery for bacterias.
If we are talking about a good look than go with sunless tan.
Self-tanning products, or sunless tanning lotions, work by temporarily dying the top layer of the skin. The color slowly fades as the skin cells slough off, and usually disappear within a week unless the lotion has been reapplied.
That's a lot more healthful than a suntan, however, because while suntans also start fading after a few days, the harm done to the skin is permanent. Getting a suntan breaks down the DNA in skin cells, but using self-tanners causes no such damage. At worst, sunless tanning products present a minimal risk of irritant or allergic reactions.
Oil of Olay for sencitive skin did not work for me, it made my breakouts worse. But it might work for you. :)
Most of the bar soaps contain paraphine or wax. It does clog your pores and dry your skin so be careful with it. If you use bar soap to shower look at the side of your bathtub: hard soap particals usually create a build-up so this will eventually happen with your pores. So be carefull with it. :)
Cominfo absolutely right about water replanishment.
If you add 2-3 liters of water to you diet you will feel better - PROMISE. You will have to use the restroom often, BUT you will feel less bloated, and retain less water IF you add water to your diet. Men who are overweight should add up to galon of water a day. Sip throgh out the day for best result.
Different people have different percentages of their bodies made up of water.
Babies have the most, being born at about 78%. By one year of age,
that amound drops to about 65%. In adult men, about 60% of their bodies
are water. However, fat tissue does not have as much water as lean tissue.
In adult women, fat makes up more of the body than men, so they have about
55% of thier bodies made of water. Fat men also have less water (as a
percentage) than thin men.
So dehydration is the first culprite of dry skin. Drink tons of water. :)
I hope this will help. Good luck

Good facial moisturizer for dry acne skin?
I have mild acne on my face, so I've been using some Oxy face wash just yesterday to get rid of my acne. It's been working but the only problem is that it makes my face dry.
What is a good facial moisturizer that I can use for my face with my Oxy wash too so I don't have dry skin?
I heard Cetaphil was good...but not sure.
Also, if the stuff had SPF in it that would be also very good!
Thanks!
Yea, that's the problem with acne meds- they help but they also dry out your skin. You should try using a moisturizer that has alpha hydroxy acids such as glycolic acid, like Neutrogena Healthy Skin Face Lotion or the walmart (equate) knockoff of it. That's what I use and it gets rid of flakes and clears out your pores too!

What is a good facial mositurizer for dry acne skin?
Ive tried visibly even..not moisturizing enough...cetaphil..i think it makes me break out and im using shea butter now and it makes me shiny..what are some good moisturuzers that wont break out my skin and make my dry skin go away?
Thanks!
I work as a cleark at a chain drugstore. I know quite a number of good products to use. Of them, Cetaphil is one of the best for your condition. If you're really serious about clearing up acne and treating your dry skin, try proactiv solution. I know you've seen the commercials, but it works. You can usually pick up a small kit for $30 at a local mall. Hope that turns out alright for you.

“Today, IDI has grown to be the biggest skin institute and largest skin (dermatological) hospital in Europe,” claims Won. “And, IDI remains a leading authority in the world of derma-medicine.”
The institute was founded by Father Luigi Maria Monti, not just treat skin disorders but to provide medical aid to the community at large. Founded in 1858, it was known as Congregazione dei Figli dell’Immacolata Concezione. Among the medical workers was a team of dermatologists who researched and developed safe and effective formulae to restore skin health. The extensive work of the dermatologists led to the formal set up of the Italian Dermatology Institute (IDI).
“Close to 50% of the brand’s customers were men, who then introduced the products to their wives and children,” says Won.
Brand and marketing manager Linda Lee for 10B International says: “IDI-Italy 1858 is available in Malaysia and Singapore this year and later, will be sold in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Thailand as well. In 2011, the brand will be brought back to Europe.”
Dermatologists, skin specialists and doctors are claimed to use the same formulations to treat skin patients. To date, IDI formulations have been used by over one million users. In Italy, more than 100,000 patients are treated every year because the formulations are proven safe and effective, says Won.
Dr Umberto Filippi, managing director of IDI Farmaceutici, adds that all products undergo stringent tests at various levels before being marketed.
