So I just started new acne meds (yeah...shut up), crap called "Tazerac" in addition to the Benzaclin I was on (They got rid of the oral antibiotics, which is good), but it's making my face really dry I thinks.

Anyone have any good suggestions for non-comodegenic moisturizers? I heard Cetaphil was good...but it's expensive and only comes in a gigantic tub.

hydrocortison cream works wonders, i have dry skin all over and have to lather this stuff on. if it can kill of my exhama in a few doses it will fix your face. i use it on my face and it makes it really smooth but shinney if you dont wipe id down 30 min after applying

Yes, awesome stuff! I got on it early and never had anything more than the odd pimple all throughout high school.

Nothing OTC ever seemed to work for me. I was on an oral antibiotic and Benzaclin, and that seemed to work fine and for the most part I was acne-free, but I moved, prescription ran out, so I've been without acne stuff for a couple months. I don't like the new dermy...Tazerac is evil stuff. Benzaclin is acidic, but not as bad as Tazerac. Tazerac seems to be eating my face. I've been on it for a week, but so far, no results have shown. Oh well...usually it takes a little while.
