I’m on accutane right now, what products would you recommend to help hydrate the skin but not clog pores?

[KittyKitCat]

I have very very dry and flaky skin. But at some point it also gets a little oily and my pores clog easily where white heads r little pimples occur. I also get horrible cystic acne around my jawline. how can I fix he cystic acne without drying up my face? and how can you stop skin tags? they always reoccur below my eyelid!!!

Dr. Murad, what do you recommend for controlling oily skin?

[Annika14]

Charcoal cleansers with pore strip on your nose!

[brittj]

My dermatologist said pore strips are bad for your skin. In the long run, they don’t help with black heads.

I have always heard less is more and for some other people they say more is better. What are your advice for someone in their early twenties? what are the must have skin care routines for someone younger?

Why is it so hard to find products for acne for mature skin? What do you recommend that is hydrating, line-smoothing, but also helpful for acne? Thank you!

what would you recommend for making enlarged pores smaller?

Hello Dr. Murad! I have struggled with severe Keratosis Pilaris most of my life, with it spreading rather than dissipating as I age. Other than Lactic Acid, is there anything else that can help maintain or eliminate KP (the lactic acid no longer helps)?

Hi Dr. Murad. At what age should one begin a skincare routine? Is the preteen years too early?
