do i use toner when my face is still wet? or i pat dry first then i use toner? thks

[dermTVdotcom]

@nikimeow You should pat your face dry and then use toner.

[hunnibear223]

so its okay to use toner before sunscreen?

[dermTVdotcom]

@hunnibear223 Yes. Always use a cleanser and toner prior to treating your skin with active ingredients as it prepares the skin. Sunscreen is an active ingredient.

I dont really have acne problems that much ANYMORE, but I do have HORRIBLE acne scars =( Which is why I started using clinique. I have about 6 steps everyday to do and the red dots on my skin should be gone in a few wks they say, Do u think they will? Or should I do something different? Also, my toner smells like alcohol and says it on the ingredients, is it ok to continue to use??

Thank you so much for your help n time =)

@lovellyjuliechavez: Cleanser and toner do nothing to help red spots or scars. Scars (depressions or raised bumps) are usually not helped by topical products. Red spots from prior blemishes will fade by themselves and improvement can be helped with cosmetic lasers, but topical products do not hasten their improvement.

Hi dr, What are your thoughts on the Clarisonic? Is it worth the money? Thank you

[romeydiaz77]

HI Dr. What do you think of Argan Oil? I heard that it's good for acne prone skin as well...will it clog my pores? Also, I have a lot of little bumps on my fore head, no white head or anything, not sure if they are acne because they don't hurt but no matter what i do they don't go away, any advice please?

[goldringlets1]

I have a spray on toner (Clean Start - All Over Clear). I don't have to use any cotton pads as it just says to spray directly onto the face. Will this still be effective? Thank you :)

[stephanievalderrama]

thanks so much doc!

[Iwuzhere321]

I'm doing this exactly but I don't see any colored residue on the cotton pad and/or tissues. 

[totallyhotty]

do you leave the toner on your skin afterwards?
