Whats the best acne product for my skin?
Question by elaa: Whats the best acne product for my skin?
okay well, i moderate acne, i mostly have pimples, white heads, and black heads.
i also have dry skin so i can’t really use anything that will dry my skin out because the dead skin will build up and cause more acne. I exfoliate everyday to wash away the dead skin. but my acne never really subsides at all… i have used many over the counter drugs.
so… are there any good inexpensive acne products that you may think would work for my skin?

Omgosh. I’m like the same way. I use Neutrogena Oil-free acne wash (it’s orange) and Neutrogena oil-free moisture for combination skin. It works the best of anything else I’ve tried but some days I still will break out and have super dry skin and redness. But, ya know, life can be pretty harsh sometimes when it comes to my super uber duber dry skin.

Exfoliating everyday might be part of the problem. You are basically stripping your skin of all the oil it has everyday, and it needs some oil to be healthy. I have had acne problems for almost 10 years, and I have had the most success using ProActiv – my skin is mostly clear all the time. It seems expensive at first, but one $ 20 supply lasts me for 2-3 months, so if you break it down, ProActiv probably isn’t any more expensive than anything from the drug store. I have also seen dermatologists and had only moderate success.
Maybe try cutting down on the exfoliation to a few times a week. I just think it is too rough on your skin and makes problems worse to do it too often. Also make sure you are using a light, oil-free moisturizer to balance out your skin, and if you are female and wear make up, make sure your make up is oil-free and non-comedogenic.

Best Practices
# Wear protective clothing and hats as an additional measure of protection.
# Avoid the sun during peak hours (10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.)
#Apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes BEFORE you go out into the sun
If you go into the sun immediately after applying sunscreen, stay in the shade for the first 30 minutes.
#Reapply your sunscreen about every 2 hours.
#Use an SPF-containing lip balm whenever you are out in the sun.
Tips for Preventing Breakouts
* Choose “noncomedogenic” hair, skin, & makeup products.
* Avoid touching your face with your hands. Hands can spread bacteria to facial pores.
* Rinse off soon after working out to help prevent sweat and skin oils from mixing and clogging pores.
* Avoid overwashing or using harsh scrubs. These can cause excess oil production.
* Keep stress under control. Stress doesn’t cause acne, but it may lead to overproduction of skin oils.
Apply orange peel paste on and around the pimples.
Apply garlic on and around the pimples to remove it without a mark.
Zinc, Vitamin A, Vitamin B and Vitamin E are the best nutrients to cure the acne. So take a balanced diet full of nutrients and vitamins.
