A member asked:

My acne products cause my skin to peel and dry, but i've got combination oily and dry skin. i don't want to use a cream moisturizer, what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Consider squalane: Some patients report that they like pure squalane encircled should be applied in a very small quantity. Make.Sure you exfoliate to remove old dead dry layers of skin.
