In some cases, using the wrong drugstore products can make it worse, so it's a good idea to visit a dermatologist.If you want to clear up your skin, he can recommend products and treatments.
Step 2: Understand the ingredients.
There are many products on the market.It can be difficult to know which one will work best for you.These usually contain an active ingredient.If you purchase a cleanser or other product that contains salicylic acid, but it doesn't seem to be working after a few months of use, then you should switch to another acne fighting ingredient.It is recommended that you use a cleanser that has less than 2.5% Benzoyl peroxide is an ingredient that helps killbacteria and keep them clean.Before rinsing your face, let it sit on the skin for 15 seconds.It will have enough time to penetrate your skin.2.5% to 10% benzoyl peroxide can be used in leave-on creams.Salicylic acid is a common ingredient.It helps get rid of dead skin cells on the skin, which can cause breakouts.Salicylic acid can be found in leave-on products.There are products that contain retinoids that can help fight whiteheads.You can get some retinoids over the counter.You should apply retinoids at night as they can make your skin sensitive to the sun, and be aware that you may experience some irritation at first.If you prefer to stick with natural ingredients, tea tree oil can be great for getting rid of pimples, but it may not work as quickly as some other products.If you want to use tea tree oil as a cleanser, there are also washes that include it.
Step 3: You can try a multi-step system.
A multi-step will usually include a cleanser that is meant to wash away dirt, a toner to remove dirt and dead skin cells, and a spot treatment for the pimples you have.The multi-step systems are often sold in one box, and may be the best option for mild to moderate acne sufferers because they help clear up the conditions that cause the problem in the first place.
