makeup and severe acne questions



Can I use cosmetics when I have acne ?
Avoid oily and greasy cosmetics. Use water-based, oil-free cosmetics sparingly. You can use eyeliners, eyeshadows and lipsticks.

What if I have severe cystic acne ?
Do not despair. A new oral drug, isotretinoin, is available for the treatment of severe cystic acne. This medication can cause side effects and should be taken under the supervision of a dermatologist.
