I use neutrogena oil-free acne wash and I put the acne stress control on after but my skin looks dry.So would it be okay to wait a couple mintues and put on an ambi fade cream like as a moisterizer or something?Is it okay to use a fade cream after washing in a cleanser?
I have has brown and red marks from past acne and healing acne for over 10 years. I have been using the Obagi-C RX System (obagi.com). I have been using it for 3 weeks and notice a diffrence already. It is kind of expensive, but SO worth it. I have spent probably $1000 in the past buying over the counter and special ';potions'; to get rid of the marks and nothing has worked. This has been the best. It is a prescription only system, BUT you can buy them on E-Bay like I did (because you have to be licensed to sell it). It is cheaper that way. Just make sure the seller had good feedback and make sure the items are sealed!
