Acne problem? Or is it worse than that? - Page 2

post #16 of 22
You are right on track when it comes to the products that you are treating your skin with....Salicylic and benzoyl peroxide cream. The Salicylic seemed to be working for your skin type when you were using the Oxy Pads. Most over-the-counter products that contain Salicylic are quite diluted, so it is difficult to achieve maximum results.

I am a consultant at a company called Skin Laboratory. Looking at your pictures, your acne seems to be on the surface of the skin, rather than the acne cysts that lie within the deeper layers of the skin. Because you were seeing some results with the Oxy pads already, I think if you used a Salicylic product that was stronger, you would be even happier with the results. Salicylic/20 would be great for treating the your acne. Salicylic is a rapid exfoliator. It helps smooth skin texture, temporarily reduces excessive oil production, and helps treat mild acne scars.

You can also use it in conjunction with a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide to better clear your skin. The Benzoyl peroxide is what kills the bacteria that causes the acne.

A chemical peel may be the last thing you would think you would do to treat your skin, but it is an easy, affordable, at-home way to have awesome skin!

I like how Jumbie keeps up the inverse relationship between actual knowledge and claimed knowledge in posts.

2% Salicylic acid really helped clear up the pimples near my mouth. Stick with it?

-If necessary, moisturize with Cetaphil's cream
-NO OTHER PRODUCTS

Try this for at least a month, maybe two. If it doesn't seem to be working you can up the BP to two applications a day. If you see no improvement after two months, see a dermatologist.

You don't need "a lot" of BP.

Using too much dries out the face and causes other problems.

I have had acne flare-ups my entire life. Sometimes very bad nodules and cystic acne. I tried every product under the sun and after wasting thousands of dollars with no hope in sight I did a lot of research online and went and had a food allergy test done.

Found out that I am allergic to dairy products. Cut dairy out of my diet for the past month and have only had a few small pimples emerge. I am ecstatic. I wish I would have done this years ago.

I do believe it is a myth that foods cause acne...but certain foods may cause allergic reactions which therefore cause acne.

Good luck!
