I tan, and I want to keep my tan, but I also have some trouble with acne and I wanted to know what acne products cause your tan to go away or fade, and what ingredients do this?

Answer:
most products with benzoyl peroxide and for some persons salicylic acid will make a tan fade. AHA's and retinoids can also do the same. Glycolic acid cleansers with a relatively low percentage of glycolic acid, I’ve noticed actually enhance the complexion, rather than dulling it or lightning a tan. But def stay away from the benzoyl peroxide!!
Answer:
I have the same problem. Some of them have benzoyl peroxide, so of course the peroxide is the problem here. Then some have salicylic acid, and I think those have alcohol or something in them, I'm not sure but they do the same thing. Plus some of them exfoliate your skin to remove the dead skin cells, and then it takes off your tan. There is not much you can do about it, but what I do is I use one of those daily moisturizers with the gradual tan in them. I think it's jergen's natural glow or something like that. And then once each other day, I'll use a normal gentle cream cleanser with no acne medication, instead of my usual strong stuff.
