Best Prescription Topical??

Hi,

What is the best presecription topical you have used?? Things like diffferin and tazorac do not work for me. My skin is over sensitive and thus they overdry. And Retin A makes my skin HORRIBLY oily and break out more. I have been using Benzamycin for years and it doesnt work anymore... Any suggestion on what topical (which is not overdrying) to ask the derm for?? Thanks.

Differin Cream and Klaron Lotion are the most gentle topicals I've been on. Differin worked for me, Klaron didn't.

Does Differin give you an initial breakout?

Re: Best Prescription Topical??

Differin can give u a intail breakout since what id does as acts as a Exfoliator gettting the crap plogged dee inside your poes out...it gently sheds the skin..I'm on it now 2 days shy of a week..it has made me skin a tad bit dry and helps smooth it out..i ahvnet hada breakout from it ...it has been working great.. apply Klaron on at nite after applying the differin...i like it alot..Dfferin works best for mild to moderate acne not really bad acne...I use to use Bezamycin too yrs go it alos stopped working aftera while..thats because it has a antibiotic in it(topical) we must get immuned to it..Sulfacet r has worked for my friend...theres azelex,tarozac,duac,spiro,cleocin T....
