A member asked:

What's some good acne cream/gel that wont dry your face, also wont make it peel?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends.: Many acne remedies work BECAUSE they dry your skin, i.e. make it inhospitable to the bacteria that causes it. If drying/peeling is excessive, try applying less & using less often, or applying at night so the drying occurs while you're asleep. If your skin is really sensitive an antibiotic lotion is a good alternative, but you'll need a prescription for those.
