Colin R asked:


I use a medication with Benzoyl Peroxide for my acne. It has bleached out my pillow cases and some of my t shirts. I’m going to stop using it because I’m getting new sheets. Does the medication have a half life should I be worried about it bleaching my new sheets if I haven’t used it for a day?
and will continue to not use it.
I dont have a major problem just about anything works, I need to know what wont bleach things.

milacvetkovic asked:


I have seen the commercials and went on the site for the Murad Acne Complex solution, and I’m interested in knowing whether it also works on mild acne such as whiteheads. I’ve had whiteheads on my cheeks for a pretty long time, and now that’s it’s winter, they seem to be getting worse since my skin is getting dryer. I want to try the 30$ kit, but I’m unsure if the kit is only for acne such as pimples and zits, or also for moderate acne like blackheads and whiteheads.

I didn’t know it was a no no to use acne medication high in benzoyl peroxide in the sun. I was in jr. high at the time and so now i have wrinkles and fine lines on my forhead. It looks like I’m sunburnt! I’m not looking to see a dermatologist but I am willing to get regular facial treatments at the spa. I just need to know which kind of facial will benefit me the most.

I have oily skin (not too bad), and I don’t get big blemishes, but I get really small little bumps all over my face. I’ve tried Proactive, Acne Free, etc, and I want something that will really clear my face up, especially the bumps all over my cheeks. I don’t want a prescription treatment, just something I can buy at Walmart. Anything that works well (or works miracles)? =] Thanks so much!
I’ve tried SkinID too.

Heather asked:


I use Dermatopix to wash my skin at night and I also use Ziana. Doctors say it’s good to use this stuff, but I feel like it’s unhealthy. It has helped my acne a little, but in its place I have dry, discolored skin. Is there a way I can simply drop the medications and use natural remedies? Or will it only make my skin worse?
Thanks so much for the help!
