What is the best acne product for sudden breakouts??

Question

I do not have terrible acne, but I do get get breakouts of one or two giant pimples. They are impossible to pop, and if i do, it just makes them worse. I heard that the Proactive stuff really works, but im not convinced.

Any ideas on something that is good at tackeling single pimples, as opposed to an complete acne treatement for the entire face?

Answer 1

I'd suggest using any white tooth paste with silicic acid in it & that should dry it up. Hope this helps...

Answer 2

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

Answer 3

I like clearasil. It really helped me when I would have a sudden breakout. Also, Beauticontrol has this thing called "All clear blemish block" It's 10 dollars, and i SWEAR by that stuff! You put it on the blemishes/pimples at night, and in the morning just peel it off, and mine are ALWAYS gone.

its near the bottom.
I myself, have heard proactiv works from tv, but i dont think i would pay 30 dollars for it, unless i knew someone who it had worked for. Try the beauticontol, or get clearasil blemish at your drug store! And make sure youre getting enough water, and washing your face twice a day, and taking your makeup off at night! It will help alot!

Answer 4

Try sodium bicarbonate and a few drops of lime.

It takes time though...Maybe your best shot is also to use anything that has a peroxide content of at least 10% at night, and then during the day something that has 2% (Neutrogena Acne On-Spot).

Answer 5

Aveeno has a really good line of skin care. Thats what I use and I don't break out...ever! When I was a little younger, and I'd get the one or two random ones, I'd put white toothPASTE not gel, on it, and the baking soda dries it up.

Answer 6

Neosporin, use it every night.

Answer 7

clearisil or noxema, i guess
