How do you fix peeling skin caused by acne products?

Dr. Marsha Davis answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Moisturizer: Find a good moisturizer one that says oil free and non- comdeogenic on the label . Some of the products are designed to slowly peel the layers off your face to get rid of whiteheads and blackheads. Be sure you are not scrubbing or washing too aggressively with the products or leaving them on too long. Some dryness is expected.
