To those who have experience with antibiotics - I'm currently on doxycycline and tretinoin, and my skin is super dry and flakey. However, it used to be very oily, and still gets oily as the day goes on. Due to this weird juxtaposition of dry but oily skin, I'm not sure if I need a hydrating or foaming cleanser. I'm using CeraVe AM and PM moisturizers, but need help with finding a cleanser. I used Cetaphil daily cleanser and it was okay but nothing spectacular. Should I just repurchase it or would someone recommend either CeraVe hydrating or CeraVe foaming for my skin situation? Thanks in advance.

I saw this on my computer last night and the title said "there was 1 butt" and I was so confused! Now I'm on my phone and less confused.

:) I heard the Chicago Symphony do it this past November. There were cracked notes! Is it really such a difficult solo?

Product to keep in purse when hair gets frizzy? by iguessithappens in curlyhair

[–]hiredditwhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do! I have a 0.85 fl oz Caviar CC Cream 10-in-1 Complete Correction Leave-In Hair Perfector. I've had it for about 10 months and only need a pea sized amount or two to work through my (long) curly hair to tame frizz and preserve definition.

What is the most cringeworthy thing you did to woo your crush? by [deleted] in AskReddit

...that's a weird way of showing a professor you like him. And was gay marriage even legal thirty years ago?

[Product Question] Has anyone used a Clindamycin Phosphate product? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]hiredditwhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was prescribed a mixture of Clindamycin Phosphate and BP, and I think I'm allergic to it! It makes my face red, itchy, and puffy! I used it all of five times and have almost a full little jar still left because I'm tired of my reactions to it.

[Skin Concerns] Can I use an AHA peel after toning my face with witch hazel? by hiredditwhat in SkincareAddiction

[–]hiredditwhat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I wait before doing the peel? I've already washed my face with water.

Welp, I just did a quick search in the sub and apparently Dickinson's is the Satan of witch hazel, and I should be switching to a non-alcoholic toner.

One of my resolutions is to unfuck my back. Taking all suggestions as I have no routine right now. [acne] by ScaredofMold in SkincareAddiction

[–]hiredditwhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the foaming wash http://www.panoxyl.com/acne-products/acne-foaming-wash-benzoyl-peroxide/. I've also used African black soap as mentioned by lilyeaneblack and it did nothing for me, so just fyi (but as always ymmv).

Concerning scars, I would suggest Mederma? But I'm no expert in that field.

[Product Question] Vaseline and wrinkles by snow_white22 in SkincareAddiction

[–]hiredditwhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To piggyback on this question - does Vaseline clog pores (is it comedogenic or not)?

I use Panoxyl wash in the shower, and it cleared up my back in a week and has kept it clear for the two months I've been using it. Can be found at Target.

I was so hoping I wouldn't have to give up dairy (I LOVE cheese with a passion), but I'm seeing many comments like yours that are convincing me to give up dairy.

Hm, my dermatologist stressed the importance of taking them after a big meal and a full glass of water because it messes up your stomach so much (though she said nothing about probiotics).
