Sorry to hear about the trouble you've been having with your skin. I would imagine that it's very difficult to deal with acne prone sensitive skin as most anti-acne products are on the harsher side.
When you say that you have tried Cetaphil and it didn't help your acne, did your skin calm down at that time? Have you tried any natural skincare lines or do you know if your skin is likely to be reactive to natural ingredients? I'd suggest YonKa Juvenil over just a very gentle sensitive skin cleanser but I don't know if your skin can handle natural ingredients.
Also, another option (which I don't know much about but I guess Caspers Mum, and others too, might make suggestions on) might be to go to a dermatologist and see if they would recommend an oral pill that helps with the acne instead of using topical treatments. |

| It could also be overdoing it with the drying cream, proactive and differin at the same time. Maybe pick just one of those. My son tried Differin and had dry, red oversensitive skin plus more breakouts. With Cetaphil you are on the right track to getting your PH in check. Do you think you might have rosacea with your acne? If so, a lot of products can overaggrevate it. |
