I have a pretty bad case of acne. I use whatever I can to prevent it. At the store today buying acne cream. I notice two products who claim they are stronger than the rest. One had 10% benzoyl peroxide, which i thought is pretty strong, and the other product says it's also an ultra cream, but it only says 2% salicylic acid. I thought it isn't too strong. Am i wrong?

I've heard that butter works the best. Just smear it on and then you'll have a butter face

Acid is generally stronger. But i think 10% peroxide might be.

 

and that makes your acne come back worse when you stop using it FYIE you irritate your skin. You need anti-bacterial medicine from a doctor, + aloe and vitamin E

I actually use lemon juice! Just cut a lemon in half, and squeeze the juice out. Then soak a paper towel in it, and rub it on your face. Cheaper, and I doesn't use harsh chemicals that just dry your skin out more.

If it stings a little, that means it's working! The citric acid helps kill bacteria, and keep pores smaller, and therefore less likely to release oils.

no rubbing, just tap

if you want to clear impurities, like dark skin, or bad skin use sugar + lemon

it depends how severe the acne is

 

start with benzoyl peroxide  it works against the P. acnes bacterium

it helps prevent formation of comedones, and has anti-inflammatory properties BUT USE SUNSCREEN WHEN YOU GO OUTISDE

 

if that didnt help for more severe cases try using antibiotics

If your grave doesn't say "rest in peace" on it You are automatically drafted into the skeleton war.

Yes sugar is bad.

 

Try fixing you diet first, as Acne is usually a result of something else, Acne doesn't appear for no reason.

No mass doses of sugar (sodas/candy), or processed snacks (Bags of Doritos/Cheetos).

 

Good luck

Well I always rub the juice on, and then dab it dry with a towel. I don't scrape it, just gently rub it.

As long as you don't have high colesterol or depression, ask your doctor for roacutain. I couldn't take it because i have high colesterol, but it's the most effective acne cure.

Otherwise, I was put on anti biotics that help with the inflamation
