what is a good face wash that doesn't dry out my skin?
I've been using Clearasil face wash and it's really drying out my skin, my nose is peeling and so is my chin and jaw line.
What is a better cleanser that helps with acne that I could buy at a drugstore or Wal Mart?
Look for a facial cleanser with little or no salicylic acid. Salicylic acid works as an exfoliate to rid of dead skin cells, thus causing the dryness. While this may work great with people who have acne due to excessive oily skin, it may cause peeling and irritation for others.

Chemical Peels For Skin Rejuvenation
Age brings wisdom but along with it comes some wrinkles too. For most people, this sign of aging is something that they would rather do without. More and more people desire youthful looking skin and go to great lengths to achieve it. There are many cosmetics doing the rounds in the shops and there is a great market for these too. Most of these creams and lotions promise a lot more than they can deliver and they come with side effects. Chemical peels for skin rejuvenation is recommended as an effective solution for aging skin and damaged skin.
There are several reasons apart from aging which cause the skin to lose its youthful elasticity. Blemishes and acne can leave unsightly marks and spots on the skin. Sun damage causes the skin to develop dark spots and wrinkles appear faster than they should. Pigmentation also may affect the skin in an adverse manner. Fine lines appear under the eye and lips very early in life due to a fast paced lifestyle coupled with lack of sleep.
In the chemical peels procedure for skin rejuvenation, chemicals are applied to the face in varying proportions depending upon the requirement. This acts like an exfoliant and removes the dead skin cells so that the underlying new skin is visible which looks fresh and youthful. Chemicals applied depend on whether the treatment is for superficial or deep layers of the skin. Superficial chemical peels require no downtime and are also referred to as lunchtime peels. These are ideal for fine lines and spots caused due to sun damage and stress.
Alpha hydroxyl acids are now being used as chemical peels to treat acne and blemishes. They are effective in reducing the sebum in hair follicles which considerably reduces acne formation. This can also cause the skin to look lighter and clearer than ever before. For wrinkles and irregular pigmentation doctors opt for treating the middle or deep layers of the skin. A peeling agent with more concentration is used which softens wrinkles and smoothens the texture of the skin. This causes the skin to tighten and look younger. There are chemical peels with higher concentration to treat severely damaged skin very effectively.
