Mixing glycolic acid with salicylic acid?

Hi, I am on a face program that I've had for about 4-5 months now. At first, my acne seemed to be clearing up, but now there's no difference. My face looks just as bad as it did before I started the treatment..if not worse. As a matter of fact, I did my face program that I bought from the dermatologist MADE special BY that particular dermatologist's office, and woke up this morning with yet ANOTHER "blemish". I just read this morning that you cannot use retinol, glycolic acid (aka AHA's), vitamin C, and benzoyl peroxide because it will cause inflammation to your face.

The routine that I bought from the dermatologist's office has an active ingredient of Salicylic acid 2% and inactive ingredient Glycolic acid 5%. I also have a every-night program to put retinol on my face. Is the mixture of Salicylic acid and Glycolic acid causing my face to break out? Also, is the retinol not doing any benefit, too?

Thank you for your help:)

Will this make my skin really greasy?

I usually have normal skin and I've just been using a cleansing toning routine but yesterday I bought the Body Shops Vitamin E Illuminating Moisturizer, and I don't know if it gives me quite the long lasting glow I want... So I kind of want to buy Revlons Photoready Foundation... and then use Benefits High Beam highlighter on top but I don't know... the moisturizer made my face feel a little greasy and adding two other liquid makeup products doesn't sound good...

So the options are:
Mix Benefit High Beam in with my moisturizer and apply it like a foundation or
Wear the moisturizer, then foundation along with translucent powder or
Wear just the High Beam, and apply it as a highlighter, only in certain spots or
wear just translucent powder
or translucent powder with the high beam... What should I do?

When taking supplements or multi-vitamins should I take them in the morning or at night?

Is there more benefit to taking vitamins and supplements in the morning since you are awake all day for your body to utilize them or is it the same difference taking them at night?

Pimples? How to get rid of them and cover them up as best as possible while they're still there?

Hi guys, so i'm 15 and i have pimples. they're not that horrible, but pretty bad, but not like severe case. i was wondering how you could get rid of them, i've tried pretty much everything. so please dont suggest proactive or dermalogica. i heard vitamin d oil works if you put it on overnight every night for a couple weeks, does it work?

and the second part of my question is, which foundation is best to cover them up? don't tell me to leave them w/out makeup, b/c that's not an option. does dream matte mousse work well? i wanted to try it, but idk. i have oily skin but sometimes it's dry, and i have large pores, so would dream matte mousse work? thanks in advance :)
sorry, i should've specified earlier, but my budget's not that bit and the Benefit stuff is like 34$ per thing so, anything cheap?

If I go on a juice fast for nutritional and weight loss purposes..?

What are the healthiest, most reccomended juice fasts that help cleanse your colon, and help rebuild your metabolism, and clean toxins out of your body?

What are the hoax juice fasts?

Will it work to it's full benefit if I take weight loss supliments, and if I make the juice at home with whole foods and a juicer, as well as daily multi-vitamin packages?
Juice fasts are nutritional if you do them yourselves with whole food that you break down and combine with a juicer.. I can also add protein powders, and if I take a daily multivitamin it should be completely nutritional.. I'm not looking for an opinion really, just more personal experience.

When is the best time to take my thyroid medicines and my vitamins?

I cant take these at the same time because of absorption
When can I take these to get the most benefit. My Vitamins are almost as important because of other health problems.

Cheng was gravely injured in a November 3 car crash in northern California and remains unconscious and in the hospital. Although he showed some signs of response, Jeanne wrote last week, "Chi's condition remains the same — serious, but stable. He still lies in a coma, however his vitals (heart, lungs, and blood pressure) all exhibit very stable functions and doctors have begun removing much of the excess monitoring equipment. Chi remains strong in his fight to recover." Cheng's mother has been posting at the DEFTONES' studio blog and has now started her own to keep fans updated on her son's progress, saying, "DEFTONES will continue to update you on Chi's condition when there's a significant change in his condition." Cheng is 38 years old and is a poet as well as a musician. He released a CD of his poetry called "The Bamboo Parachute" in 2000. Cheng has been a member of DEFTONES since its formation in 1988. The band released its debut disc, "Adrenaline", in 1995 and scored a platinum record with 2000's "White Pony". The group has ...
