Help with skin(details inside) please any help?

Question

i'm 17 years old and have combination skin, sometimes its dry and most of the time it is oily.

Anyway recently i've been using:

neutrogena transparent bar and benzoyl peroxide bar as cleansers

Equate astringent and debbie allen toner

St.Ives collagen elastin moisturizer for all skin types

and a hydroxy masque

i've been cleaning my face every morning night and doing the masque after the astringent at night

i've seen suttle changes but today my skin as broken out completely

any advice please

Answer 1

ok...you need to simplify....first of all, you only need one cleanser. and it doesn't have to be a gel. i use that new neutrogena wave vibrating cleanser. it cleans deep down and it really helps with my oily skin. then you can use a toner, but i'd stay away from the over drying astringent. that won't help. then use a very light, oil free hydrating moisturizer. i don't think that a collagen elastin moisturizer is the best thing. try the oil of olay oil free moisturizer. it works like a charm! the key is that you have to keep your face balanced. don't over-dry it! i know from experience that over-drying doesn't solve anything!  and if you break out, use a sulfur based spot treatment if you can find one. it's the best thing for acne! i really hope this helps! good luck!

The problem is not in your skin,  the root of the problem is inside you, change your diet, drink a plenty of fresh water. and use an oitment called gator, is the best one for any skin problem, you can get it at  www.forestnaturals.com under the link forestnatuals special products,  have good luck

I have the same type of problem. I use an Aveeno Face cleanser and dove moisturizer for sensitive skin. Seems to help keep it in check. Id stay away from anything with alot of chemicals so it doesnt dry out. Try using Bananas, Oatmeal, or honey for masks. Does a great job. Hope this helps

you might be doing too much to your skin.  personally i've never really like neutrogena.  i'd recommend a product called "Acne Free".  it compares to proactive which is a really well working product.  you can find acne free at walgreens and maybe other drug stores as well.  then i would just recommend putting on an overnight lotion on your face.  also you might be breaking out because of the make up you are using if you are a girl and are using make up.  if that's the case i would recommend switching to a mineral product such as a kit from bare minerals.  This can be found at a store called sephora.  a lot of make ups clog pores and cause break outs. i hope this helps :)
