Ponds Cold Cream for combination, acne-prone skin?

I was told by an esthetician friend that I should try Ponds Cold Cream to help even out my "extreme" combination skin (very dry cheeks and very oily, shiny and acne-prone t-zone).





I've been using the new MediBac line for adult acne by Dermalogica, it's been alright for the acne but it makes my cheeks so dry that it flakes! It's also $40 for the kit, so if a $4 product MIGHT help, I'll gladly try it.





But before I do, if anyone here has had any experience with it, please share! I wouldn't want to try it only to get a face full of zits :).





Thanks!

The ponds cream is OKAY. But if your happy with what you are using then stay with it. whats good for my skin might not be good for your skin.good luck =]
Reply:I've noticed that name brand cremes make skin worse. A lot of dermatologists will tell you not to use other products when using a prescribed product on your face already. I would consult a doctor first because Ponds, Olay, Lancome, and several other name brand products have a lot of oils that can irritate skin with your medication and also make skin even more oily... Good luck
Reply:Tell that esthetician that this esthetican said not yet if you have acne prone skin.





Since I can't see your skin, I can't tell what stage your condition is in or if the dryness is actually dryness or actually RH beinging broken up.





First, try skiping one application of any BPO on the cheek area. So if you apply it twice a day, apply it once a day.





I also need to know how long you have been using it.





The original formulation of the Ponds shouldn't be bad as it is a basic emulsion. Watch out for the fragrance. If you itch after applying it stop.





Dermalogica is not a bad line. It's also not the strongest.





To acne-prone skins dry skin is not a bad thing.
