Does anyone know of any Good Acne treatments?

Question

I also have bad Acne. Right now most of them are faded but Still visible and I have few whites heads. And brand new ones. They come and go as they please. I have really oily skin if that helps you any. I have tried what my dermatologist gave me but I didn't like it because it made my skin dry, red , and it pealed.

I have also tried Noxzema, Clean and Clear (which did the same thing)

I can't do proactive because it's not good for my skin. Proactive made my skin worse.

So what are some Acne treatments that I can use for oily skin. (also dry) That won't make my skin dryer or peal.

Again please make sure you choose something that I can get from a local Drug Store, Wall-Mart , Target etc

Also I don't won't to have to pay an arm and leg for it either. Try to avoid the online things thanks!

and If it helps I'm a mixed person with Black white and Indian.

Answer 1

When I had spots my mum used to give me either witch hazel or tea tree to use and it worked really well. However I do find that popping spots and then putting antiseptic cream on them gets rid of them quicker and its never scarred for me.



If acne treatments aren't working and you've got really oily skin, you might want to get a decent skin care routine - you might have to invest a little in this - to tackle the oil. The oil will not be helping your acne as you are producing too much oil and this can block pores and cause spots.

Answer 2

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.



In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.



Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.



In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

I have had the same issue! I am now using PURPOSE. it comes in a liquid soap and a bar..it is nothing fancy at all...You can get it at CVS. It is basically like a soap but it is a facial cleanser that gets rid of acne..(very well) you should use it morning and night. I started to see a diffrence after a week! It is a very plain bottle that doesn't look cool at all.. at my CVS it is pretty hidden but it is there. if you don't see it ask the front desk because it is worth it..I am pretty sure it is like 5.00$..so give it a try! :)

I also tried TONS of products out there and they almost everytime failed on me.

My life was saved by BP (benzoyl peroxide) and I used 2.5%

www.acne.org visit here (I'm not spamming at all, this is the actual place where I got my info)

There are tons of discussion, reviews and instructions.



Be 100% sure you read thru everything about BP since it can be really harsh medication.

Good luck!!!

I truthfully locate the easy techniques, the main valuable. Get an invaluable face wash, one that works properly with your epidermis. decide what epidermis sort you have and go from there. Wash morning and evening, without fail and continually do away with all lines of makeup in case you positioned on any. Get a moisturiser for day, and a evening cream. Moisturise your face morning and evening after cleansing. Exfoliate as quickly as each and every week yet be mushy. Face mask as quickly as each and every week to a fortnight. And to apply immediately on spots, antibacterial creams alongside with sudocrem, savlon or germaline artwork super on spots. A dab of fragrance on them (as long with the aid of fact the spot isn't open ie from choosing *dont %.!*) instant will additionally help dry it up, make it smaller and shrink redness without drying the exterior around it. in basic terms dont use plenty. i in my view locate pimples remedies are a ways too harsh on the exterior. it could do away with pimples, yet your epidermis gets so so dry, and each from time to time pimples remedies have left my spots much greater contaminated. It might desire to easily rely on the exterior sort.
