Question 1

should i put acne medication on my face or moisturizer on first?

Accepted Answer

Medication: After the application of the topical acne medication, apply the moisturizer.

Question 2

after excessive use of corticoids, glans turned white and without sensitivity. my uro recommended moisturizing with bepantol toque seco, but the improvement over the months is almost 0. is there another medication/moisturizer better for my situation?

Accepted Answer

: The use of corticosteroid ointment or cream causes some atrophy of tissue. Was the steroid prescribed to treat severe itchiness or for lichen sclerosus which itself causes the tissue to eventually turn white? I recommend consulting a dermatologist for evaluation and  advice.

Question 3

would it be acceptable to apply moisturizer on top of acne medication?

Accepted Answer

Acne and moisture: Yes, it is usually ok to apply a moisturizer after an acne medication--especially if it dries you out.  Let the medication dry, then apply your moisturizer.

Question 4

i am suffering from eczema.i am on medication which includes an anti-allergy10mg;a sunscreen50spf\u0026#41;,momate cream and a moisturizer,pacroma cream. still no change.help!

Accepted Answer

Eczema: You need to keep irritants to a minimum. Use only sensitive skin products. No fragrance or dye. Find something to stop the itch, like Benadryl, (diphenhydramine) Claritin or Zyrtec. Eczema gets worse if it's constantly being scratched. Also try a bleach bath. 1 cup bleach, in a full tub of water. Try this weekly. If no improvement, have it rechecked.

Question 5

what is the best natural drug store oil free face moisturizer to use?

Accepted Answer

HealthTap: doesn't really advocate the use of any particular product. You might ask the pharmacist. Good luck.

Question 6

does neutrogena moisturizer spf 15 really protect you from the sun's uv rays?

Accepted Answer

SPF: In moisturizer is helpful but it is not the same as applying sunscreen. Consider a higher spf.

Question 7

i had a drug allergy, i developed skin atrophy from oral steroids prednisone and it would burn from normal moisturizers the moisturizer gets stuck on?

Accepted Answer

Question?: Vitamin a and/or other oral or topical retinoids may help.

Question 8

is my white skin protected from sun rays if i use the following: vitamic c serum, then bioderma moisturizer spf 30 and la roche posay powder spf 25?

Accepted Answer

SPF 30 and SPF 25: Both the bioderma moisturizer and la roche posay powder are effective sunscreen.  May need to reapply products if out in sun for multiple hours.  No need to use vitamin C serum on skin- vitamin C is not a sunscreen. Also avoid outdoors from 10 am to 2 pm as sun is most intense during these hours.

Question 9

which moisturizer to use while on accutane?

Accepted Answer

Non comedogenic: Any moisturizer that was found to be non comedogenic  ( doesn't promote acne) should be fine

Question 10

should i use moisturizer on the t-zone even though i have a combination skin ? i have heard that oily skin do not require moisturizer at all .

Accepted Answer

Oily T-zone skin: Moisturizers are not needed for oily skin.  They will make skin more oily and prone to breakouts by blocking pores.
