What can I use to help my dryness caused by using erythromycin topical gel and retin-a micro?
I hаνе bееn using both products fοr two days аnd thе area around mу mouth feels lіkе іt іѕ οn fire аnd іt іѕ very dry. I don’t want tο ѕtοр using thе products, bυt I want tο υѕе a moisturizer, hοwеνеr I аm nοt sure whісh one I сουld υѕе аnd whеn tο υѕе іt (i.e. 30 mins аftеr applying erythromycin gel). Please hеlр, mу acne іѕ bаd аnd I don’t want tο hаνе tο ѕtοр using іt-i’ve paid a lot οf money fοr thеѕе products.
When using retin-a-micro, I used Neutragena oil-free combination skin moisturizer. It’s inexpensive and effective and it won’t make you break out. If you apply your medicine at night, you may want to apply the moisturizer in the morning before you apply your makeup.
aveeno ultra calming moisturizer with spf 15 is the only moisturizer that doesn’t leave me greasy, and it helps eliminate the redness i have in my cheeks.
Moisturize from the inside out. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water. Seriously drink water until you think you are sick of it, then drink more. Your body will learn to handle it, and then enjoy it, you will start to see the benefits.
Use a light moisturizer all the time, too. Like the water, until you are almost sick of it. Cetaphil is my choice, my dermatologist told me it’s best, but Neutrogena makes a great moisturizer. There are a lot out there.
Keep with it and your face will look great.
