Acne Treatment for All Types of Skin

December 20, 2009 · Filed Under Acne 

By now, almost everybody has seen the late night and early morning acne infomercials with Jessica Simpson and Sean “Diddy” Combs. I guess they figure, if a celebrity trusts something, then so should you. The promises made for the product sound surreal, and yet for many people it may be just the cure they’re looking for. Even so, it may not be for everybody.

For example, one of my girls had come down with a bad case of acne. She tried one of the infomercial solutions, and it failed to work on her acne at all. Being a young teen, she was in a desperate way to find a solution for her acne breakouts, and find one fast. But unable to find a quick solution, we ended up going to the local dermatologist for acne information and answers. The doctor gave her a prescription for a cream and an oral medication. After following his instructions for a couple weeks, her acne had virtually departed. This was the right solution for her, but it may not be for you – because we’re all different.

Some good tips that I’ve discovered over the years follow:

If you have oily skin – it’s best to take a medicated acne product or one in gel form.

If you have dry skin – you’ll probably do better with the acne cream form and medicated products with benzoyl peroxide or salycic acid.

Maybe your skin is a combination of oily AND dry skin (combined type) – in which case, you will most likely need a combination of oily skin gels and dry skin acne creams to apply to different parts of your face according to the condition of the skin there.

If your skin is on the sensitive side – you will more than likely need less intense concentrations of either dry, oily, or combined-type treatments.

Some people with acne experience skin pain. If so, you should get personal attention from a dermatologist.

Thousands of doctor’s patients go for years trying to find the right treatment for their skin afflictions. With the advances in science, you’d think that the acne problem would have been solved long ago and that acne would be a pale memory. Unfortunately the age-old confidence destroyer is still around and going strong.

Today, reaching middle age, I find myself in a new situation when it comes to unsightly blemishes. Now I find that my skin tends to be a bit oily and I have acne breakouts after moisturizing my face. One of the few things I look forward to as I get older is the absence of acne.
