I mean of course your acne should go away eventually but for some this is the case their whole life.

I’m 29 years old and have been suffering from these little pests since I was a teenager. I tried all sorts of face washes from the local grocery store and what not, but nothing seemed to work. If anything it would just make my skin dry and itchy.

Literally the best acne face wash I’ve ever used has been this stuff called clearpores. It has got rid of the acne to quickest and has been a success ever since I got it. It’s unique cause of it’s herbal supplement you take a long with it that helps your skin from the inside out. I saved money on it at skincleansingsystem.com at the time which was helpful.

You should really look into this stuff and if you can to assure the best results, get the 3 month supply because if it doesn’t work it will still save you butt on the return policy.

Well good luck and best wishes.

Before deciding on self-medication, there are a number of things to consider before buying an over the counter acne product. You will be choosing among hundreds of acne products, all proclaiming that they are the best. It is not enough that you just go and buy the best-selling product or the most expensive brand. Here are 3 simple steps to help you choose the right over the counter acne product for you.

First of all, evaluate the severity of your acne. Do you have a few pimples and possibly a smattering of whiteheads and blackheads? Then you might have mild acne. Or maybe you have more than a few pimples, some red spots, and perhaps acne scarring in some areas of your face? You could be diagnosed with moderate acne. If you have a major breakout of pimples and lesions that are scattered all over your face, then you might be suffering from a severe case of acne. Knowing how mild or how severe your acne is can help you choose the right acne products that contain the right ingredients to treat your acne.

The second step is to analyze your skin type. Is your skin dry and flaky, or clogged and oily, or maybe a combination of the two? Those who have dry skin will benefit most from over the counter acne products that are in cream or gel form. These will treat acne and hydrate the skin at the same time. Those who have oily skin should stick with acne products that are in the form of a wash or liquid. Water-based products will wash away excess oils and will not clog pores. Combination skin types need to be spot-treated, which means use water-based products for oily skin and then moisturize the dry areas with cream or gel products.

The third and last step is to define your goals for treating acne. Do you just want to prevent acne? Then use the proper skin care products. Is your objective to get rid of your current pimples? There are mild over the counter acne products that are made specifically for that purpose. Do you want to achieve smooth, crater-free, and scar-free skin? There are many acne treatments that minimize scarring and clear away existing acne scars.

Regular usage of over the counter acne products may take a couple of weeks to a few months before they start showing any effects. It is important to read the product’s packaging first to know the proper dosage and application. You might have to go through a number of over the counter acne products before you find the right one that works for you. Just remember not use two products at the same time without the guidance of a doctor.

Definitely Benzoyl Peroxide (BP). But considering your dry skin, it is best for you to begin with the 2.5% version of BP. Begin application with smaller amounts, then increase as your skin gets used to the BP.

Hope this helps.

Like I said, see a doctor. Most over-the-counter products all have either benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid in them. The benz. peroxide work on red pimples and the acid helps prevent black heads.

A dermatologist has a whole range of much more effective products.

Cystic acne is not treatable with over the counter products. They might help, but you will continue to break out. Use a free and sensitive antibacterial cleanser for faces, but go get good treatment. Antibiotics are cheap and will work much better. Continue with home treatment as well and make sure you list everything you tried, how well it worked, when the acne started, what makes it worse (humidity, stress, sports, etc.) and what, if anything makes it better (sun). Take that info to the doc when you go as well as your insurance card, any other meds you take, what you wash with daily, and a list of anything else you use on your skin. Be persistant. Acne can be hard to treat, but hang in there until you clear up.

Dietary adjustments would include plenty of water, less sugar, and a good multi-vitamin, but usually acne is genetic and not something you are or are not doing. Make sure the doc knows you have sensitive skin. Ask what the side effects of your treatment are, how long before you can expect results, if there are any reactions with other meds, foods, or sunlight, and have them right down your plan.

Good luck. Hope this helps.
