A member asked:
Wouldn't it be counter intuitive to use oil-free moisturizing acne medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Moisture is not the opposite of oil. Drinking lots of water and treating scaling skin that is peeling due to side effects of acne medication or skin products helps the skin look its best while going through treatment. Also it allows you to modify how often and the amount of medication you use.
