What OTC Face wash can I use for pimples?

Question

I'm starting to get pimples on my forehead and my jaw area.. are there any OTC pimple medications I can use. I'm 26 and I' don't suffer with Acne. Should I try Biore?? Any ideas?

Answer 1

I'm not sure I get one online because I want quality on my face because i only have one face but one thing I should suggest you is to also get a toner. if you are breaking out you need to tone which closes your pores. when pores are open and not closed by toner oil will collect dirt and buildup which then clogs pores and causes you to breakout. so get a toner and because you are washing oil with cleanser and wiping with toner you need to hydrate your skin back to normal and moisturizer doesn't add more oil I use to thing that too but if you get one for your skin type which is most likely normal-to-oily you should get one that is normal-to-oily. I'm 25 turning 26 and I've had bad acne and I tried otc meds but nothing worked until I studied these http://cgarcia1.qbeautyzone.com/products/product.aspx?itemno=E5018 and started using them and still am for 5 years. Reason why i can't use any other is because it keeps me from being oily ans shiny for up to 12 hours and if you don't like the result you can return items within 180 days from the time it was purchased but there was never an item that I've returned. well hope you find something if not something like this.

Answer 3

Ok...I have tried many OTC face washes for pimples and acne. The only one that really worked for me was Panoxyl Bar 10% w/ benzoil peroxide. It's a white soap bar that comes in a white and blue box and costs $5. You can find it at any drugstore, just make sure to moisturize after you wash your face because it can dry out your face a little.

Answer 5

1) Oxy 10 Face Wash - benzoyl peroxide mask.

2) Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask - has benzoyl peroxide & clay. I prefer to use it as a mask.

Wear SPF because b.p. makes your skin more sensitive to the sun. If these are too drying alternate them w/ Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Cleansing Pads. One side is textured for extra exfoliation.

If OTC products dont' help, head to a dermatologist for prescription products.

One of the best things to remove acne is simply getting your skin very clean by gently steaming open the pores and then gently scrubbing your face. Use a clean wash cloth. Rinse in tap water, as hot as you can stand it, wring it out and place it directly over your face, gently press to your face, and yes...it's hot! Rinse and repeat several times, each time you remove the cloth, use it wipe your face gently, rinse, pat it on your face, repeat..this steaming is a mini facial sauna. It opens pores, grease and dirt can now be washed out. Use a gentle cleanser...Neutrogena makes a good acne wash..or just noxema cream. Rinse well and pat dry, never rub your face.
Apply Bactine to the pimple to kill germs. Apply acne medicine or toothpaste..yes, toothpaste to the acne and it will help dry it up. A clean face doesn't break out as much. Steer clear of sugars and colas during break out periods, it does seem to help.

Answer 7

I have a secret for oily/acne-prone skin!
1. I use a facial mask with oatmeal and egg white and wash it off when dry. ( Oatmeal treats the skin and the white makes it less oily)
2. I use Proactiv 3 step creams but only on the infected area

3. Wash off and enjoy!!!:)

Answer 8

Acne free is just like proactive but it's over the counter. It's three steps and will eliminate the pimples you have now and will prevent new break outs.

Answer 9

Maybe Neotrogena products. When ever I get pimples, I put soap on my fingers and rub them around my pimples. It works and it's easier than waiting three days fro it to be gone. But put it on in the morning, when you wash your face, after lunch, and when you go to sleep. The soap goes down into your skin and zaps the pores.
