wait are you using ALL these acne products at once? Because generally that's NOT advisable unless directed by a docter, and if it was then I'm not sure what to tell you, but you should call your doctor and find out what to do. Because all acne treatments are extremely drying and you've got some pretty powerful ones that you're using there.
All I can say is to exfoliate (unless your skin is very sensitive right now) and moisturize like crazy, not just twice a day. But definitely call the doctor that perscribed these things for you because generally that's a pretty crazy mix of medications. You might also want to seek a second opinion.
I know the retin-A causes peeling. why not try, that product jesica simpson advertises on t.v. pro-active, I heard that works great, acu-tane is also very good, put olive oil on your skin!!!
Too much retin-a. Stop it completely. Then the moisturizers might have a better chance to work.
try a heavier moisturizer, like eucerin or cetaphil
I have the same issue, I know it really sucks :(
this sounds kind fo weird, but go to a make-up store, like ULTA or sephora. I know pur minerals sells some rly nice moisturizers and they seem to help
7 Quick Fire Tips To Clear Acne
Everyone out there that has acne and is fighting that battle wants that ultimate solution. How to clear your acne fast. They simply wish they would wake up one morning and it would be gone forever. Who can blame them? Most of us are either plagued with this problem or have been through this horrifying experience before.
Acne is considered a disease, but acne is more of a reaction of the body's defenses to rid itself of bacteria. Your body always worked before to eliminate bacteria without these pimples and blackheads infesting the body, so why does it begin happening at the age of puberty, then suddenly vanish in a few years?
The human condition is always eliminating bacteria through sweat. Sweat is not just for cooling the body down as a release mechanism. Sweat glands also eliminate waste mixed in with the sweat. This goes to show why some people should never take off their shoes and also why under arm deodorants sell like crazy.
As children reach adolescence, their bodies' hormones begin to change, releasing more adult type hormones. That helps explain the awkwardness phase they go through. This hormonal change affects the entire body, including the bacteria that is now clogging pore sacs in target areas of the adolescent bodies, producing acne as a reaction by clogging skin pores. This acne is more than a reaction, these are infections that manifest as pimples.
So, how do you clear your acne fast? This is not an easy answer. There is not one singular method that will get rid of your acne fast. But there are a few methods used in combination that will surely help eliminate the problem.
Clear Acne Fast - Tip #1
Exposing the infected area to sunlight will help to kill the bacteria that is infecting the acne. Too much sunlight will cause sunburn, so use your better judgment to clear your acne fast.
Clear Acne Fast - Tip #2
Keep the infected area clean with a clean wash cloth and mild acne cleanser. Do this two to four times daily, always using a clean wash rag.
Clear Acne Fast - Tip #3
Stop eating junk food. These foods that are loaded with fats will cause your body to eliminate much of these fatty oils that are clogging up your skin's pores and causing acne outbreaks.
Clear Acne Fast - Tip #4
Not picking at your acne will actually allow your blemishes to clear up faster. Picking at the pimples only helps to infect the area more.
Clear Acne Fast - Tip #5
If you have long hair, keeping it from touching your blemished areas will help to keep it clean and not be exposed to more dirt and grease that can cause your acne to react.
Clear Acne Fast - Tip #6
Avoid overusing chemical medications that will actually do more harm by causing skin reactions to the chemicals.
Clear Acne Fast - Tip #7
Use facial cosmetics sparingly so you can clear your acne fast. Your skin needs to breath in order to heal. Begin using natural cosmetics that do not have chemical additives.

Stop the acne drugs, drink a lot of water and change your diet by eliminating greasy foods. I used Neutrogena for 10 years and my acne went away when I stopped using it! You will eventually become immune to all the creams and pills, and they only mask the problem. Exercise helps a lot as well, as it forces you to sweat and cleanse your pores. Good luck!
