How many times a day should I.....

Well yes you can get moisturizers including jojoba oil, but i personally think it's best to get the pure oil, 100%. I found my bottle at a local healthfood store and it cost $6, which i think is a good price considering most other moisturizers are around that price. But i'm sure it can be found for even cheaper--the healthfood store around here is kinda expensive. Hopefully you can find some locally, but if not, online is always a good option.

Yeah, I get mine jojoba at a vitamin store called the Vitamine Shoppe. Not all places carry it though, like I know my local GNC's don't carry it. But it's really a great moisturizer for all skin types and it's inexpensive, and you only need to use a few drops so it lasts a very long time.

Hi:
I have been using the Differin and Cleocin T (clindamycin) since last fall. I can't tell you what a difference it has done for me. Whatever you do don't stop the regimen your doc has you on. I am now using the clin daily and Differin every other day but only washing once a day. If my skin starts to break out with any acne it is gone by the next day without ever erupting. I love this stuff. Anyhow....the dryness will go away eventually. I had such dryness for maybe a month. I didn't use any lotions too much though. Maybe to touch up some really dry spots now and then. I would recommend using the Cetaphil lotion. If your skin gets too dry I would suggest stop the regimen for a day. Then go back to it again. But hang in there. I use the Cleocin lotion (forgot what it is but it's not really lotion but a liquid with a dabber) and I love it. But after your skin starts to act normal again you may be able to just use the Differin every other day or even once a week. Good luck.

It works fairly well, but my skin has become fairly red and the skin by my chin is chapped and peeling. I am now starting to moisturize my skin with Curel Ultra Healing lotion. However, I don't know how often to moisturize my face since I'm fairly dumb at stuff like this. Also, will the Curel cause my face to break out more and does moisturizing your face actually make the redness go away? Any insight is greatly appreciated.

why are you mixing drugs? Use on or the other, it may be why youre skin is irritated. Also, use an oil free moisturizer

This answers your question, look no further
I use Clindamycin Phosphate gel and use a mosturizer in the morning, and my skin is looking much better from moderate to mild after 1 month. Do not use body moisturizers they will break your skin out and/or make your skin look much more oily, use "Neutrogena Healthy Defense SPF 30 daily mositurizer. It is non-comedogenic and doesnt make your skin look oily. You will find it by the acne products at a local grocery store. It is in a whitish box.
Good Luck
