Bars, creams, cleansers, moisturizers and so on how many just how
many acne treatments do you need? Mild to moderate acne can usually
be remedied by twice daily cleanse, tone and moisturize, the rest is
just advertising fluff.
Clear skin starts with a good twice daily acne treatment regimen. A
good gentile oil-free cleanser like Neutrogena oil-free cleanser
starts the process. Washing that frequently you don't need any acne
treatment in the soap. The toning/ medication step is where most acne
treatment products come in.
Every over the counter acne treatments have one (or a combination) of
four active ingredients- the rest is just packaging. Benzoyl peroxide
is one of the best medications for acne. It is rough on the skin and
you MUST moisturize after use. Bp works by getting into the pore, and
creating oxygen bubbles in reaction to the toxins in them. These
bubbles kill the bacteria that cause acne. Products are offered in
various dilutions; 2.5% is best. Clear Skin Regimen Gel, Neutrogena
On-the-Spot, Clearasil, Oxy-10 Fostex, Clear by Design, and Persa-Gel
all use bp. The Proactiv system also uses a 2.5% dilution of BP....
