Acne can be severe, moderate and light. This
is a simplification, but it is useful to select the best treatment.
Treatments for light acne
This is mostly a few blackheads or pimples once in a while or around
the time of period. In these cases the cosmetic products that you
can buy in the drugstores or supermarket are usually good enough to
control acne.
It is important to keep the skin clean without drying it. The most
widely used and effective products are:
1- Cleansers or toners with salicylic acid
2- Creams or gel with benzoyl peroxide to apply on acne-prone areas
3- Blue light machines, such as the Tria Blue Light for acne and
many others.
4- Creams with retinol
5- Creams or tonics with sulfur
6- Chemical peels with: salicylic acid, glycolic, lactic and others.
The cosmetic kits such as Proactive can be effective. The
ingredients are very similar in all acne products, so price and
brand are not as important as the active ingredients they have.
