Question by hasian: What acne lotion would you recommend that will keep my skin hydrated but at the same time will heal the acne? I only have a couple of zits but the problem is the medication I use really dries out my skin.(mainly in the zit area) I use cleansing milk and extra-comfort toning lotion but my face is still dry.
