The Inside Scoop On Acne Blemish Cream

Article by Del Erben

Dealing with acne is not fun. When you have to live with a breakout, it can utterly destroy your social life and damage your self image. Because acne is such a pervasive problem dermatologists, drug companies and cosmetic manufacturers have attempted to provide an answer in the forms of facial wash, medications and acne blemish creams. The million dollar question is "Do these solutions actually help in the fight against acne?"

Because acne is a problem that appears on the surface of your skin, it seems logical that it could be treated topically through a diligent cleansing routine and a good acne blemish cream (one that is proven to reduce breakouts). Depending on the severity of your acne problem, you can seek a prescription or get it over the counter.

Prescription Acne Blemish Cream

There are are a number of prescription acne blemish creams available at your local pharmacy. Retin A and Tazorac are two of the most often prescribed acne blemish creams. Both of these acne blemish creams are incredibly potent and do come with a list of side-effect warnings. When you use a prescription strength acne blemish cream, you should avoid the sun whenever possible by putting on a hat and applying sunblock. It is also not a bad idea to stay inside during the sunniest part of the day

Pregnant are advised not to avoid both of these acne blemish creams. If you are considering a prescription acne medication be sure to discuss all the risk and side-effects with your physician or dermatologist, so that you can make an informed choice as to which treatment is best for you.

Over The Counter Acne Blemish Cream

If your acne is mild, or you suffer from infrequent breakouts, you would probably benefit from using an over the counter acne blemish cream. There are several great brands to choose from, many of which contain a low dose of Benzoyl Peroxide. Benzoyl Peroxide goes beneath the surface of your skin to dry up the oil that makes you breakout. Because Benzoyl Peroxide has such drying properties, it is best used sparingly. If you observe your skin peeling in areas where you applied a cream containing Benzoyl Peroxide, try to decrease the frequency of that particular cream.

Best answer:

Answer by peytonyes. go a few days without makeup. use an oil free acne wash, in the morning, and at night. make sure your hair is washed every day and not touching your face. The oil from your hair can clog pores. After you wash your face with warm water, and an acne face wash[ i recommend clean and clear oil free foaming facial cleanser about $ 5.45 at our local grocery store, Target, or CVS pharmacy], . Then put on something with benzoyle peroxide[ i recommend clean and clear persa-gel maximum strength about $ 4.99 at your local grocery store, target, CVS pharmacy]. Look at the label it should say 10% benzoyle peroxide. after that try a oil free moisturizer. diet is important, but eating a chocolate bar doesnt give you acne. just make sure your eating healthy, and stay out of the sun. use an oil free sunblock. basically, stay away from oil! i Will give you step by step instructions. before bed- 1- open pores by splashing face with warm water 2- wash face with "clean and clear oil free foaming facial cleanser" 3- rinse with hot water. 4- dry with towel. 5- apply clean and clear maximum strength persa-gel 6- let dry 7- rinse face with ice water to lock pores closed, and clean. 8- apply oil free moisturizer[ i recommend Neutrogena Moisture Oil Free Formula, Sensitive Skin its about $ 10.00] all together it will cost bout $ 20.00, but its worth it for clear healthy skin right? might i suggest bare minerals? you dont have to worry about forgetting to take it off! repeat in the morning. and within a few days enjoy your clean clear face!!! bye breakouts!
