Today, I realized that that tingly feeling on my face when I put a new combination of acne wash, acne medication, and my usual moisturizer on was not, in fact, "it working." It was slowly peeling away the top layer of skin. I look and feel sunburned. I also still have acne and oily skin. FML

I've been there, OP. So many acne treatments have done more harm than good! Believe me, I know how much it sucks.

Do it yourself dermabrasion? What's next, do it yourself breast augmentation?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest you always do a patch test for new skin products if your skin is sensitive. I'm a big advocate for Aveeno products if you haven't tried that.

Just remember the scientific principle of "like dissolves like". Since you are trying to rid your skin of oil, you need an oil/fat-based solution to get rid of it. Rub bacon grease onto your skin and let it sit for a few hours, preferably overnight. Then use melted butter on a wash cloth to get rid of it. Be sure you let us know how this turns out!

IT" WORKING. Some acne product WORKS LIKE THAT. They force your skin to shed, so you would grow new ones. without acne.

I did that it hurt soo bad!!! seriously, take it easy on ur skin for a while and try to use somthing with less chemicals.

That sucks. Acne is a pain and it can be frustrating when nothing seems to work. Just try to limit your products and eat well and exercise. It that doesn't work then it should start to clear up as you get older.

Wow, that sucks, Love. Stay out of the sun til it heels up then resume using them but try one til ur skin gets used to it then add another and the third one should be used every two to three days so it doesn't irritate your skin. Acne sucks but don't over do it trying to get rid of it!
