Wow, great forum, I found you guys when I did a search of Oil of Olay's new microdermabrasion/peel kit. I was wondering if this would help with acne?
I have sensitive skin and my acne is usually tiny bumps, that almost look like a rash. I have trid ProActive, which worked for about 6 months and then my skin returned to it's old ways, and my derm has me on Differin gel and Clindamyacin, which also gave me radiant skin for about 6 months and then my skin became crummy again.
Any suggestions, I can't afford anything really expensive.
I read a little about OCM on here and wondered if that would help too.
I'm tired of being harsh to my skin and only making it worse!
Thanks! |

Hi glow33. I don't have any specific advice to offer but I wanted to say welcome to the forum! There is so much good information here. 
I do have the Philosophy version of the peel kit you mentioned and while I'm not sure how effective it is against acne I can say it is a great product (I think the Philosophy version and the Olay version are supposed to be pretty comparable). It leaves my skin so soft and smooth. It is a nice mild exfoliator so I would think that would be helpful in combating acne but I will have to let somebody with more experience in that area say for sure.
Good luck!  |

| I had the type of acne that looks like a rash, with lots of tiny bumps last year, and what helped me was a ph balanced cleanser and a BHA product. |

Hi...
Here are 5 habits for healthy skin that I look at every now and again just to make sure I remember and keep on track.
They are helpful for sensitive skin and I think they will be a good refresher for everyone.
They are:
1) Protect yourself from the sun
2) Don't smoke
3) Wash your skin gently
4) Moisturize regularly
5) Shave carefully
Good luck. |

| Hi glow 33. I'm also new to the forum, but I've battled (and I think won) the acne battle. I think the key things are to wash your face the same time every day twice a day with a very gentle but effective cleanser (I use Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel, but depending on how oily your skin is, you may need a stronger version). I also think exfoliating away the dead skin is a must, either twice a week or every day, depending on how strong your exfoliator is (I LOVE Daily Microfoliant by Dermalogica, every day). You may also want to use a masque to clear pores weekly until you get a better balance. Finally, as weird as it seems, I think keeping you skin really well moisturized is key to keeping acne at bay. Make SURE your moisturizer is oil-free and won't clog pores, but does deliver even moisture, especially on your cheeks, which get really dry in windy winters. I also use mineral makeup because it's not pre clogging and it makes my skin happier (I use Jane Iredale pressed powder). When you get a huge zit and need it gone fast, a targeted salycitic acid lotion works great (I like Clean and Clear). Sorry this is so long, but I hope it helps! |

Can't exactly add anything extra that our lovely EDS ladies haven't mentioned already. But to confirm, I found that exfoliation and retin-a really helped for my occassional acne/pimples and I do get those tiny bumps you talk about to...it does look like a rash, but I don't think they're acne..for me it's either dry skin due to weather or over exfoliation or a real rash because of something I ate.
Make sure your tiny bumps are indeed what you think they are so you can treat it properly. |
