A member asked:
Is "rebound oily skin" a myth, from skin too dry? i have mild acne and derm prescribed bp 5%. said dying it is good and only moisturize if itchy/red?

Dry to Oily: 1. If you over-dry out oily skin it may either become overly dry or it may over-produce oil to balance out the drying effect.
