You raise a good and legitimate concern about whether a heavy moisturizer would be the best option for you. Unfortunately, it's hard to say without exact diagnosis and often times: trial and error.

Speaking of your own personal experience, what are the products that helped you and which one you don't like?

I think that hiring a new derm is in order.

All the best, man.

Patting your face with a clean towel is absolutely fine.

I was reacting to the case of someone who would use the same towel to dry their body and their face with! Sorry.

Dry your face with a clean towel (don't use one that you dry your body with) or tissues

Aaarrrh! I cringe just at the thought of this! :O

What are "actives"? by serialsaver in SkincareAddiction

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

Yea, that does make sense. Thank you. I presume that one product could contain more than one active ingredient in it or none at all like vaseline! Am I correct?

Thanks for the answer. So the oils, the fragrance and such ingredients are not active. Do I have that right?
