Im currently using retin a micro and benzaclin at night. After applying this I put on neutrogena spf 15 moisturizer. However, my skin still gets a little dry and flaky. I put on moisturizer in the morning as well after washing my face. I also drink a lot of water. Whats goin on here? I have combo skin - oily/dry.......I just want my skin to be normal!

If you are using retin a and benzaclin for acne then you shouldn't be using moisturizer at all.
I recommend 3 alternatives.
1. Use a Serum instead of a moisturizer. Serums are expensive but well worth it. They suggest using Serums with a moisturizer but if you have acne just stay away from moisturizers entirely.
2. Get a Mister. Evian has a water mister that you can spray on your face when it is feeling tight. I actually use an off market product (got it from my facialist) and it has aloe, green tea and a whole bunch of other ingredients. Essentially though, its just water.
3. Get a facial. The facial will get you out of your oily/dry cycle so its like getting a fresh start with your skin.
Good luck!

once per week use the actual diet e pills open them up and rubdown on scalp go away for slightly then shampoo with a clarifying shampoo some situations. Eucerin does good yet do it two times an afternoon(for skin). earlier you visit mattress at evening and after showers mild vaseline to carry moisture in only on your skin. placed on hats out interior the chilly. try not taking so warm of showers. And your hairdresser replaced into proper you should get the "proper" dandruff shampoo as maximum cater to oily scalps the position it is going to dry it extra. try utilising a clarifying shampoo searching on how commonly you wash your hair to assist elevate that off and save your hair lighter and from being weighed down. those are all threat-free issues for being pregnant. Stimulate your scalp extra with scalp manipulations and rubdown. It promotes the follicles to grant extra oils and flow.
