I think your skin is actually irritated, making it feel tight and dry. If so, you're treating +
the symptom but not the cause, which is why you can't extinguish the feeling of tightness and dryness. IMO, cut back to a bland regimen that is free

No, I wouldn't. Cortisone should only be used in emergency cases. Retin-A peeling rop

ok, I would recommend 1. A good lower pH cleanser. Cerave makes a good one, Cerave Foaming+

I only use retinol or AHA a couple of time / wk each but +

Thanks. I've tried both! ++
I do use PC Clear SA every day to keep the clogs away, so these cleansers are clogging me even with that. :( I'll try the Neutrogena...that's at lea

Hmm. Which cerave cleanser did u use? the hydrating or the foaming? How about Neutrogena Ultra+
Gentle? It comes in both foaming and hydrating. I tend to use a micellar first to remove mu, like Bioderma Sensibio for sensitive skin, or Simple MI
