From Angela Palmer, your Guide to Acne

Red, dry, peeling and flaking skin -- it happens when you're treating acne. But I remember being just as upset about the side effects of treatment as I was about the breakouts themselves.

Part of my problem, though, was I had no idea how to effectively care for my skin during treatment, or what to do when side effects popped up. So I hope these articles will help you beat treatment side effects.

Keep using your treatments this week!

Benzoyl Peroxide Is Drying Me Out. What Can I Do?
The first treatment that actually showed a bit of promise for me was benzoyl peroxide. Unfortunately, it also gave me a major case of lizard skin.

Help! Retin-A Is Making Me Peel!
Another treatment that is notorious for causing dry skin is Retin-A. But all topical retinoids can dry out your skin, so these tips work if you're using another topical retinoids too.

How Much Is Too Much?
My biggest problem, really, was that I was creating the worst of the side effects myself. I was basically soaking my face with treatment lotion. Definitely too much.

How To Choose The Right Moisturizer
One of the best things you can do if your skin is dry and flaky -- moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. The right product won't break you out either.
