I tried the proactive program, but it seemed to dry my face out A LOT. I stopped using it.

His skin isn't particularly oily or anything so it would probably dry his skin out too. I wonder if he used some kind of moistureizer at night if that would help.

He's tall and skinny and when I make him lay off these chocolate cake things he likes, his face starts clearing up. Right now that is exactly what we're doing. I didn't buy him any today, so when he gets back from Scout camp he won't be happy with me. He'll just have to decide which he wants more, acne or cakes.

I have dry skin that is prone to dermatitis and acne and my dermatologist recommended Cetaphil moisture lotion. You can buy it at any drug store and it is extremely gentle for sensitive skin. It has no chemicals or perfumes and it doesn't clog your pores. i use it at night and under my makeup and it is great. Maybe it would be good for your son.

Thanks for the tip!! I appreciate it very much. I would just hate for it to get too bad, you know how cruel kids, including teenages can be. I'll be going to town sometime this evening so will see if I can pick some up.
