I've heard that doing plain yogurt and honey masks are good at moisturizing and purifying the skin. You can try it out. Also, to aid your condition from the inside, try garlic pills. They are nature's antibiotic and it has helped me with the redness. It may help you too. Good luck! Hi April, I’m so sorry you suffer with the papules/pustules.

Each) and apply the oil gently on my face. If anything it is moisturizing and acts as a barrier to the environment. My skin seems to like it and it looks I have found that i just have to do a test spot on my face with any new OTC or prescription product to see if it irritates my skin before using it on entire face. My dermatologist once said "you will have good days and bad days". Hopefully most will be good! Everyone:

I have never had the red flushing problem, but I get the papules/pustules all over my face. They are very irritating and there are so many conflicting ways of treating them. Are aha or glycolic peels ok to use? I haven't come close to finding what my triggers are so I wash with Cetaphil for dry skin and moisturize with argan oil but the bumps still come. I am on antibiotic and metrogel. Has anyone tried the oil cleansing method? Any suggestions on how to smoothe the bumps???? Thanks!! Good luck to everyone!! Hi there :

(Gilly mentioned that was her issue too) Now that i have looked into what that means... Wow. You all sound like "natural" women ( meaning beautiful & happy without makeup) -and I have always been a makeup girl. Any ideas of how to or what product i can use as a foundation/concealer/ lip stick /etc would be greatly apreciated. Does this ever go away?

as ive had so many problems with my sensitive skin i decided to see a skin specialist he looked at the products i was using and he had an idea that my skin was very sensitive to alcohols he told me to steer clear of benzyl alcohol even though some companys say this is not an irritant, cetyl alcohol is another i do not react to these ingredients but they seem to strip my all ready dried out skin, ive noticed it seems ok at first but after a few days of using a cleanser with alcohols in it seems to realy strip my skin of oils,as a result of using harsh products my skin has also become realy dehydrated aswel.

The Derm gave me the metro gel and the Finacea - both have made my face break out much worse. I have not been able to use any of the OTC facial cleansers or moisturizers at all. My face has the tiny bumps under the skin and some come to the surface now. I have always had acne and I thought that this was just adult acne. Since there are many of you that have tried lots of products- which do you recommend as the best? I have dry skin and I am a stage four breast cancer survivor. I also have been in menopause since my cancer at age 28. I am now 46 and I just keep getting more depressed about my face looking worse by the day. I was always told by derms that our skin would get better from the acne stuff as we got older. Any help or advice you could give me will be greatly appreciated! God bless all who are dealing with this skin condition. Thank you for any help. Need Help here in Nevada. Hello Everyone,

Apart from trying the Moo-goo MSM cream on my face which I find wonderful, I used their Eczema and Psoriasis balm cream on the area around my lips which I was told was Perioral dermatitis. No amount of prescriptions worked as did this Moo-goo cream. I am now going to try their shampoo and deodorant after reading all the reviews from the public. The MSM cream is the very very best I've ever tried to soften the skin and I've tried (many years ago) the most expensive ones. Wish I had shares in the company. Gill.

Have tried just about everything the doctor and dermatologists recommend. Told it is chronic which means it's forever. No makeup used now, only The Body Shop Aloe Vera lipstick and I'm wary of using it too. Seems impossible to find out what lipstick to use that's safe. Any ideas?

My daughter and my niece now use the Green Tea Toxin Cleanser from Made From Earth Skincare, and I've seen a dramatic difference in their skin. I love it, and it's not irritating like some of the other products. I'm also back to using it, and have recommended it to other family members. It's a great product.
