If you have been fighting acne you may already be familiar with the different pimple creams available. There are a number of over the counter products available. If you are not familiar, here is a run down on what they are and how to use them.
First thing is know what your skin type is. Is it oily or dry or maybe yours is sensitive skin, knowing this can help you choose the correct cream. For example the medication that is in the pimple cream is designed to dry out the pimples and if your skin is already dry it may cause irritation.
These creams contain a chemical that is designed to dry out pimples. The two most common chemicals are benzoyl peroxide and salycic acid. Someone that has a more sensitive skin would be better off using a product that has aslycic acid. The label for each product will show what the percentage of the chemical is in the cream, the higher the percentage the stronger it will be. It may be wise to first try the weaker percentage, if it does not seem to make any improvement then try a stronger cream.
For someone who would prefer a natural healing approach there are some products that contain natural ingredients. These natural products contain a blend of ingredients help to dry out pimples, reduce redness and moisturize the skin just like the chemicals products do. For someone that is too sensitive to the chemicals in the over the counter creams this may be a better alternative.
Of course you should be aware that you must watch how your skin reacts to any type of pimple cream. If excessive redness, irritation or burning occurs you should discontinue using it. You may also find that one type or make of a cream may work good for you and another may not help at all.
