Cleanser ?

Moisturizer ?

Topical treatment ?

Anything else ?

My sister went to a dermatologist and she recommended that she use Proactiv and Bare Minerals. Her skin is soo much better now.It worked for her.

 

[Jennifer]

cetaphil's always recommended!

I haven't been to a dermatologist yet, but I really want to go and see what they would recommend for me.

Dove Beauty Bar is also quite frequently recommended. The sensitive version is good for drier skins - I have combination skin that isn't sensitive and I use the original bar.

I couldnt find anything on the Dove website that is actually called Beauty Bar. I really want to try it.

The one dermatologist that I really trusted recommended Cetaphil.

It's just a regular dove bar - many call it soap but it's not, it's really gentle and won't dry out your skin here's the link (just click on Cleansing products and you'll see a link for the bars):

You can buy them at Boots, Superdrug, Bodycares, any Supermarket, any pharmacist that may be local.

hope that helps!

I've never been to a dermatologist, so I can't answer that. My sister went to one, and she was given a topical cream for on the spot treatments. She then switched to ProActiv before she realized her skin problems were all stress related!

Cetaphil,Renova, Kinerase, and Prevage. I only use the first 3. Renova is a line-diminishing form of Retinol, which can be drying, so I use/alternate the moisturizer Kinerase with it

 

[ivette]

my derm recomended the following:

neutragena face wash, cleocin t lotion, erythromin 2% swabs, oral antibiotic for acne,

cllindimycin swabs, benzoyl peroxide 10%, and triamcinolone acetonide ointment 0.1%

My dermatologist recommended Cetaphil also.

 

[ShelbyLynn]

I have never been one but my cousin is a dermatologist and she recommends to her patients Cetaphil.

 

[FearlessBunny]

My dermatologist recommended CereVe. It's a lot like cetaphil but since I'm not a fan of that I didn't like CereVe.

I will warn you that at first i got a few pimples round my chin for the first week or so but I have really smooth soft skin now, I'd say to try for a month to see whether it's worked for you or not.

Also use a moisturiser that you love too and you're away! Good luck and let me know how you get on!

Over the years I've had dermatologist to recommend Aveeno, Dove and Cetaphil products.
