I recommend moisturizers for patients who are experiencing irritation from topical therapy. I tend to encourage them to use the lighter moisturizers, rather than heavier ones, and to use only those that have been tested and are labeled as noncomedogenic or nonacnegenic.
The reason for this disparity in efficacy of different treatments is the fact that there are different types of skin. People with dry skin (and yes, it is quite possible to have both dry skin and acne at the same time) benefit from moisturizing regularly. To many, this may seem counterintuitive, but having very dry skin slows down the skin's natural healing process, causing acne outbreaks to last longer. Therefore, a moisturizing regimen can be a great benefit to acne sufferers with dry skin. Keeping the skin softer (and healthier) discourages breakouts and keeps them shorter when they do happen.
There are more than just one type of acne. In order to prevent or cure acne problems, it is important to be able to recognize the different types of acne as well as what causes each type of form and how what works on one may not work on others and, in some cases, can actually make the situation worse.
