My skin which using only had mild acne (whiteheads and a few big ones around that time of the month)started to get worse this summer. I don't know if it was the heat (I live in So. Calif.)or if I was using too many different products that wrecked havic on my skin Confused

Anyway, I went to the dermatologist and this is what she prescibed for me. Benzaclin Gel(clindamycin-benzoyl peroxide 5%)in the mornings, Differin .1% Cream at night and to take Doxycycline (oral antiobiotic) once a day. She said I could continue to use my vitamin C serum, but to stop using everything else that has AHA/BHA in it.

I have been on this system for a week now and so far so good, except that my skin is soooo dry and itchy. I think I need a better moisturizer, any suggestions? Also, if any of you have used these prescription products, please share your experiences.

Thanks, Sheisha
