The acne treatment i have been using has made my face peel. is there any way to make it stop?

its peeling and i dont know what to do... HELP ME!!|||The products you are using, are they Salsylic Acid or Benzoyl peroxide? BP can be VERY drying. I personally like SA better. Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! Try finding a face lotion with SA in it. Clean and Clear has a good moisturizer with SA and it helps keep pimples at bay. It is only about $5 a bottle and lasts about 2 months and you can get it at your local store. I have used this in the past and it works well. Personally, I use Biore products (which you get over the counter. Their products range from $5-$10). They are harsh on pimples, but not on your face.


Personally, Proactive didn%26#039;t work for me. I have been using Biore products for over a year and I hardly ever break out! Occasionally I will get one or two, but nothing bad. I use Biore Ice Cleanser for acne and Biore warming facial scrub every morning for blackheads (This stuff works. I notcied a DRASTIC diffrence in my blackeads being GONE within 2 weeks) . And then 3-4 day s a week I use Biore purging pore cream scrub. For body acne I use Neutrogena acne body wash I never break out on my body. It gets 110 in summer so sweat in inevitably, yet I never break out. Give it a try. All of it is cheap too. About $5-10 depending on what you buy! Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! I think you will just need to experiment with products until you find what works for you. Remember, it can take 1 month for products to fully begin working! Good Luck!|||omg that same thing happened to me when i got a prescription from my dermatologist. Don%26#039;t worry tho if it%26#039;s peeling that means the medicine is working. when i used my acne treatment my face turned kinda red and was peeling. I just used Aveeno face wash and moisturizer. The redness and peeling will go away in 2-3 weeks. :)|||exfoliate and then use a moisturizer for your skin type.|||put on some lotion after you use it or stop using it|||first exfoliate your face gently. one suggestion is to use a very soft brush electric toothbrush- run it over your hand to see if its soft enough. if not, use a pumic stone to soften it. then, after washing your face, use an exfoliating scrub of your choice (some suggestions: aspirin, l%26#039;oreal power buff anti roughness, olay regenerist microdermabrasion and peel system), apply on the tooth brush and gently scrub your face in a circular motion.


apply toner and MOISTURIZE (use one with spf)!!


a great moisturizer is neutrogena%26#039;s healthy skin anti-wrinkle with spf.


hope this helps with the peeling!
