What is the best skin cure for acne?

I have mild acne that I have been trying to get rid of for weeks now, I wash my face every morning and night, but the acne seems to appear just as bad every time, I have used five products that proved unsuccesful. What are the best skin care products to use that do not cost over $20.00 or cause freaky side effects?





I wanted to try Proactive, but my cousin said it is hazardous to your skin, and it is kind of expensive, help!!!|||As long as you have health insurance, try going to a dermatologist. They can prescribe you medicines (and hopefully your co-pays are low) and/or suggest over the counter products to use.|||The best thing for acne is antibiotics as that gets the staph bacteria under control which is what causes acne/|||If you have mild acne, there is a new system out called Acne Free. I have been using it for a few months and my skin has been so nice since. You can find it at walmart or any drug store. They have a kit that is like proactive and it is less than 20 dollars. All I use is the cleanser and the spot treatment, which they sell seperately. I don%26#039;t know if it is one of the products that you have tried but I like it and think that it works well. Hope you find something that works!|||If you are in your teens, chances are you are going through this phase. But if your lucky, this phase will pass when you reach your twenties.





The safest thing to do with it is to eat a healthy diet, have enough sleep. And take plenty of Vitamin A and D. Most of the people who have acne are found to be low in these vitamins.





And if you really want to do something about it, buy benzoyl peroxide cream. Widely available bactericidal products containing benzoyl peroxide may be used in mild to moderate acne. The gel or cream containing benzoyl peroxide is rubbed, twice daily, into the pores over the affected region. Bar soaps or washes may also be used and vary from 2 to 10% in strength. In addition to its therapeutic effect as a keratolytic (a chemical that dissolves the keratin plugging the pores) benzoyl peroxide also prevents new lesions by killing P.acnes. Benzoyl peroxide often gives clearance rates of 60-70% after 6 weeks, improvements often continue with longer use. Unlike antibiotics, benzoyl peroxide has the advantage of being a strong oxidizer (essentially a mild bleach) and thus does not appear to generate bacterial resistance. However, it routinely causes dryness, local irritation and redness. A sensible regimen may include the daily use of low-concentration (2.5%) benzoyl peroxide preparations, combined with suitable moisturisers to help avoid overdrying the skin.





Care must be taken when using benzoyl peroxide, as it can very easily bleach any fabric or hair it comes in contact with.|||You can clean your skin with apple cider vinegar as a simple home remedy. Check out http://useinfo-acne.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.
