Can aquaseous cream be used on acne?

Question

If I was to use aquaseous cream to soothe skin with acne, could this make it worse? Will it make the skin greasy and block pores? Or could it actually help to treat acne?

sorry, did spell it wrong, it is aqueous cream

Answer 2

Aqueous cream is a light moisturiser that provides a layer of oil on the surface of the skin to prevent your skin from losing water. If your skin is dry, sure, go ahead and use the cream. However, if the goal is to treat acne, you probably want to try a product that is formulated specifically for that purpose. An over-the-counter cream or gel containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid is your best bet for eliminating pimples and presenting new ones. To soothe your skin, make sure you look for a cream that is non-comedogenic (i.e., won't clog your pores) - Cetaphil and Neutrogena make a great line. Also, I have heard that Vitamin E can be helpful too.

And, if all else fails, make an appointment to visit your dermatologist! Good luck!

I didn't find that word that you used but I didn't know if mayybe you spelled it wrong because I did find this:

Aqueous Cream BP is a medicinal substance officially registered in the British Pharmacopoeia.

It is a light, paraffin-based emulsion used as a topical external medicine.

Its uses include:

Emollient (Moisturiser)
Soap-substitute - a gentle alternative for sensitive skin
The British National Formulary categorises it as:

[edit] Indications
It is commonly prescribed in the United Kingdom for conditions such as Eczema or Atopic dermatitis [2]


[edit] Contraindications
Some sources indicate that it is not always suitable for use as an emollient, because the preservatives (such as phenoxyethanol) used to prolong the cream's shelf life may cause a reaction (National Eczema Society article with citations)
