Dry Acne Prone Skin...what to do?

[rlise]

i have pimple prone, very dry skin, but yet oily at times as well. i use st ives apricot scrub to exfoliate once a week, then either olay moisturizing cleansing cloths or ponds pristine clean to cleanse, moisturizers, during the day - dove day lotion and at night clinique dramatically ***** sorry forgot the name, the yellow one! hahaha and estee lauder idealist before i put on any moisturizer, and in the last week or 2 my skin has become actually nice for once! so i would definately say its your skincare. GOOD LUCK

I have this exfoliator, its called Pore clearing scrub by life brand its really cheap but I think you can only get it in Canada! This one is meant to be used several times and day and my docotor told my to use a scrub say and night, however i am not sure if it is meant for everyone. But this is especially good if you have many little bumpes that don't get really red!
