Having a bad skin day? Year? Life? Join the club. The most common form of acne is known as "acne vulgaris", meaning "common acne." Excessive secretion of oils from the sebaceous glands accompanies the plugging of the pores with naturally occurring dead skin cells (corneocytes) blocking hair follicles. Here you'll find how others are coping with their acne issues, plus new...

here's why...

not only do I have my usual acne but... MY SKIN IS DRY AS HELL! anyone know a good moisturizer for SUPER sensative skin?

deleted_user 11/24/2007

ya, its this green tea proacitv mosturizer stuff, i love it, my skin is also really dry.

deleted_user 11/25/2007

i dunno what ur budget is like..but origins makes a great moisturizer that is all natural with an anti-inflammatory agent in it. its called something along the lines of mushroom cream..its an all natural line. worked well when i was dry but unfortunately im all oil these days.

The best stuff I have found is called Super E. It is usually found in the organics/health section in grocery stores. It isn't expensive and its the one and only moisturizer that doesn't cause me to break out or leave me oily.

My skin gets so flaky in the winter I look like the Crypt Keeper. But I hate summer more, because I sweat and it's just gross. I haven't had a lot of luck with moisturizers but I just picked up a night cream from Neutrogena. It's a blue jar with a copper lid. So far I like it.

My dermatologist recommended Cetaphil to my sister who has SUPER sensitive skin and (what feels like) 101 dermatitises. She uses both the face wash and there moisturizer. I have acne and the dermatologist recommended Cera Ve to me. I use both the cleanser and the moisturizer. Both are very mild and from my experience work well. Cera Ve is alot thicker than Cetaphil and just a dab will work for my dry spots!

Holy cow me too!
i cannot stand it.
i use proactiv day and night and the avon vitamin e cream and it is still dry.
but i just tried this new stuff from garnie...lol however you spell it....its made for old skin, and its suppose to help tighten it, but my skin feels great. its not dry anymore. i only used it for 3 ndays too.

you should try using clean and clear acne fighting moisturizer. its not horribly expensive and keeps my face moisturized while not making it breakout worse than it already does usually like some other can

deleted_user 12/20/2007

Oh my gosh I'm in the same boat as you. My skin is incredibly flakey this time of year... and it absolutely sucks. I use a moisturizing cleanser. Physoderm (sp?) makes it. I'm also on the hunt for a good moisterizer though, haha

salt and olive oil + clean fish oil supplement.

You should try the Kiss My Face brand peach moisturizer if by sensitive you mean prone to break outs. I also like Dr. Hauska light moisturizer which is expensive but very soothing to my sensitive (fair and easily irritated) skin.

deleted_user 02/08/2008

o.k if you want something cheaper and last alll day...Aveeno acne fighting mosturizer is AWESOME!! I have extremely dry and flaky skin..and it is super sensitive!! I also cut out the foundation I was wearing and low on the powder...my face is clearer and never dry..Aveeno is all natural too..Works good for me..but good luck :o)

Vasoline Intensive Care for severely dry and sensitive skin (hypoallergenic)(the white bottle) is about the only thing that works for me without breaking me out - and I've tried them all: all others either have irritants (like fragrances, strong alcohol, oatmeal, aloe, etc.), do not go on smoothly (having to rub lotion in makes me break out), or they are not moisturizing enough (because I have extremely dry skin).

deleted_user 10/27/2008

either E45 or sudocrem, or a cream/moisturiezer meant for rashes or dry skin (lol, duh)

deleted_user 02/08/2009

I started to put a couple of drops of vitamin e oil into my moisturizer (korres thyme honeysmells amazing) and that seems to help with the dryness. Skin will look a little oily afterwards, but I just use some blotting tissues.

deleted_user 02/12/2009

for your hands, bag balm works. I love winter but hate dryness but its easy to overcome. I think cetaphil has a lotion too. Its for sensitive skin

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
