Hi all its summer what is the best skin cream 2 use when going out? thanks alot all of u !?
if u r talking of a sun-screen cream then use any cream which has a s.p.f. equal or greater than 20.
[s.p.f.= Sun Protection Factor]
Hi all its summer what is the best skin cream 2 use when going out? thanks alot all of u !?
any sunscreen with an spf of 35 or higher, protect your skin from the uv rays. Even when the sun isn't shining the uv rays come through.

What is the reasonable % of hydroquinone in a skin cream?
What is the % of amount thats considered safe?
What is the reasonable % of hydroquinone in a skin cream?
I would say 4% because a product containing that much can be bought over the counter.
Reply:No higher than 3 - 4 %
Reply:Start with like 2% to make sure you dont have a reaction to it. then go up from there. Good luck
Reply:hydroquinone. Substance that is known to successfully reduce the intensity of freckles, melasma, and general brown patching by inhibiting melanin production. For continued and increased effectiveness it must be used long term. Unprotected sun exposure should be avoided, because it reverses the effect of hydroquinone by increasing melanin production. Occasionally, at higher concentrations, persons with a darker skin type will experience increased pigmentation, but this is rare. It can cause mild skin irritation and there is the possibility of an allergic reaction. Hydroquinone in 1% to 2% concentrations is available in over-the-counter products; 4% concentrations are available by prescription only (Source: American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, September-October 2000, pages 261–268).
Reply:Most over-the-counter products contain 2% while clinical (medical) formulations are 4%.
I wouldn't use anything higher than 4% and there's some evidence showing that even that small amount is not healthy and/or can produce even darker pigmentation in the long run.
If using more than 2% you might want to check in with a dermatologist or aesthetican to monitor your progress.
Good luck!

Anyone know a good organic (all natural - no chemicals) skin cream for dry skin that is not very expensive?
Once again, it must have NO CHEMICALS. It also must be affordable (not something like $15 for 3 oz., but maybe no more than $1 per ounce). In addition, I am NOT interested in something that can only be purchased on the internet, but would like something you can buy either in a regular store or an organic store.
NOTE: If you do not know an answer for what I'm looking for, don't answer. It's that simple (unless you wish to be reported for abuse).

Would it be bad too put a skin cream with fragrance on your face?
it also had a color dye
Would it be bad too put a skin cream with fragrance on your face?
I wouldn't suggest it, no. One thing you can do though, is put a dab of your favourite perfume behind your ears, that way, although you shouldn't be allergic, if anything happens then no-one will be able to see it ! Also, it gives the same effect as if the cream (which has a weaker smell) was on your face. x x
Reply:I'm not sure I would try it, it could irritate your skin. They make creams specifically for your face, try those instead.
Reply:You could try it and see what it does to your face but I would go for the face creams where you know you will be safe.

Im 20wks pregnant. Im using "ROSKEN - Dry Skin Cream" to rub on my tummy. Is it safe during pregnancy?
While I have no idea whether this could penetrate the skin sufficiently to enter your bloodstream, butylhydroxybenzoate (found in that product) has been investigated for use as a contraceptive ( http://www.popline.org/docs/0942/071067.... ) , so I would suggest you err on the side of caution and not use this.
A lot of skin creams these days contain potent chemicals for use as 'skin whiteners' or 'firming agents', etc., and since they're only applied topically (to the skin), they aren't tested for side effects as rigorously as other drugs. It's a bit paranoid, but if you want to be cautious about these things while you are pregnant, best to stick to a simple product with no ingredients you can't pronounce! All you really need for a good moisturiser is water, glycerin and vitamin E.

Dry skin from pimple cream.?
I recently started using this pimple cream called oxy 10, it works well and has cleared most of my pimples, but the label says that if my skin dries excessively, i should stop using it and switch to oxy 5.
How do i know whether my skin has dried excessively? Because my the areas of my face where i applied the cream does feel kind of scaly..
Oxy 10 contains 10% Benzoyl Peroxide, Oxy 5 probably contains 5%.
Thanks in advance!
Dry skin from pimple cream.?
You will be able to tell if your skin is overly dry. You can switch to a kind of Oxy pad with moisturizers, or use your current kind less. Also, take a look at the kind of soap you use to see if that is contributing to any dryness.
Reply:K i'll try. Thanks! =) Report It
Reply:If your skin dries up and starts peeling like a sunburn, that's excessive dry skin. Benzoyl peroxide is usually pretty mild, even 10%. It usually will cause some drying of the skin, but nothing major unless you've got ultra sensitive skin.
Reply:Your skin will probably be kind of flaky. Don't overuse it.
I've always liked Neutrogena best
Reply:if your skink looks scaly, feels scaly, starts to peel ect. you should switch, you also could just not use it for a day or two and then continue use..............
Reply:You should do a mini patch test to determine your skin type. If you skin is already of the dry type, using benzoyl may makes your skin even more dry.

Does anybody know if Vitamin E skin cream is good for brown spots and acne on the face?
You need a product with hydoquonone to fade brown spots. The drugstores carry Porcelana and Nadinola which are good fade creams. See a dermatologist for acne. You could make it worse.

Burned skin from acne cream. Fastest way to heal skin?
I used an acne cream prescribed by my dermatologist. I have really sensitive skin and should have known better. It left my skin almost "burned." It is very red, dry, irritated and sore. I have been using Aveeno Daily Calming (with chamomile and feverfew) but it has not helped. I am allergic to neosporin. I can't call my doctor because it is Sunday.
Any advice? What is the fastest way to heal the irritated skin? Thanks!
Burned skin from acne cream. Fastest way to heal skin?
0_o that happened to me when I used soething called Panoxyl. If it's really sensitive, you might not be able to use it but I've found Hemp moisturizer (Body Shop, I think) to be amazing.
If you can't use/find it then any sensitive skin moisturizer will be good. Don't use the cream again obviously...your dermatologist shuold have known better if you have sensitive skin.
Also this sounds silly but drink a lot of water to stop your skin drying out and keep it out the cold:)
Reply:Let it be and put on some clean cold compresses - on/ off
Take motrin if you can handle it and Call the MD tomorrow.
Reply:Many of the creams prescribed by dermatologist are very strong and do literally burn your skin. but, the acne will be gone without any scarring. I would first ask my pharmacist about this. He may know of an OTC to use. If you are not satisfied with your current doctor, you may want to consult your family doctor about the redness and he could probably or if not, refer you to someone else who can.
I know that must be painful. I hope you get some relief soon, but it may be slow to heal.

What is a good, and affordable skin cream for a 14 year old?
For your age, using the proper soap, which won't dry your skin, is better than any cream.
Acne creams are usually prescribed by physicians, if that's what you intended your question to ask. I'm uncertain of any over the counter products that have good results.
Reply:eyeko is awesome for cheeks. Body shop tee tree and seaweed is amazong if you can afford it. Neutrogena i s simple, and affordable. Its good if you have a busy schedule and you want a quick and dirty skin routine.

Eucerin dry skin relief face cream and eucerin replenishing face cream?
Hi I usually buy eucerin dry skin relief face cream but now none of the stores stock it and only sell eucerin replenishing face cream is this the same product just using a new name and packaging or not?please help I liked the dry skin relief face cream!!
Eucerin dry skin relief face cream and eucerin replenishing face cream?
it is logical to think that the replenishing cream replaces the relief cream.. if you'll try the new cream, i'm sure it still would have the original moisturizing agents that any eucerin face cream has.. indeed, eucerin is best for dry skin.
my 2 cents. :-)

My cat might have ingested skin cream. What should I do?
I have a kitten who is very bad and gets into everything. That's part of being a baby. Anyway, I thought the lid was on my Nicole Miller Multi-Action Vitamin Complex, but it wasn't. She jumped on my counter while I was in the shower and knocked the bottle onto the floor. It spilled everywhere. She always eats things and I'm afraid she might have tasted this. What should I do? She isn't acting sick, but I'm scared. Should I take her to the vet, or is there something I can look for to let me know if she's sick? I feel like a terrible mommy! Help!
My cat might have ingested skin cream. What should I do?
There is a phone number on the container and probably directions of what to do if ingested. If you cannot find the phone number on the container, CALL POISON CONTROL. This way you will not have to just worry, but will know if you need to get to the vet or what.
Reply:dont worry ive seen cats eat way worse than hand creme why do yu think they say there got nine lives its gonna take a lot more then that to kill a kitty there dam tough.
