You may feel overwhelmed at times to try to find the most effective treatment for your acne these days. All you have to do is go to your local pharmacy to see the wide array of acne products that are on the market today. Some of these products may be quite expensive on your pocketbook! Since every person is individualistic, what one product does for one person will not necessarily mean another person may get the same results. Here are some of the top acne products that you will find on the market today:
Accutane Acne Treatment: This is a prescription medication that is used in the treatment of acne. When you use this product continually for about four or five months, you may see that your acne has cleared up. Your complexion may stay clear for approximately a year after stopping the use of this product.
Mario Badescu Drying Lotion: Pimples don't stand a fighting chance when you use this lotion! This drying lotion is highly effective and has a user base that is rapidly expanding. You only have to dip a Q-tip into this drying lotion and dab it on your pimples before bedtime.
Neutrogena Multi-Vitamin Acne Treatment: A very big mistake that teenagers make when they go to treat a breakout of acne is that they become too harsh and aggressive. By using a harsh drying product on your blemishes, you may actually be adding fuel to the fire! Neutrogena Multi-Vitamin Acne Treatment nourishes the skin while helping to prevent breakouts. The ingredient that treats your pimples is salicylic acid, the natural fruit acids help to exfoliate and improve the texture of your skin and the vitamins help to protect and nourish your skin with moisture.
Murad Acne Complex Kit: If you have a skin type that is prone to acne, then this is the kit for you! It consists of four different parts - Skin Perfecting Lotion, Dr. Murad's Acne-Prone Skin Formulation, Acne Management and Clarifying Cleanser.
Clinique Night Treatment Gel: This particular product claims to work gently and quietly while you sleep. This gel attacks the acne you see while it goes to work in preventing the acne you don't see. It reduces redness and discomfort and discourages the oily output from the skin.
Serious Skin Care Dry Lo: A unique acne product that contains 8% colloidal sulfur which is designed to control isolated pimples or acne points. You only have to dip a cotton swab and get some of the heavy sediment at the bottom of the bottle on it and apply it to your pimples.
Metro Gel Adult Acne Treatment: It is one of those acne products that is a medicated prescription. It treats adult acne or acne rosacea. This product helps to decrease the number of sores and the redness. However, it may not be the cure you are looking for.
Avon Clearskin Overnight Treatment: This lotion contains salicylic and glycolic acids as well as nurturing botanicals and antioxidants. It has been tested by dermatologists, and it seems to reduce marks from old blemishes.
Oxy Maximum Daily Cleansing Pads: An acne fighter that truly provides your skin with the proper balance of surface as well as deep pore cleansing. This maximum strength pharmaceutical ingredient helps to clean out the pores of your skin of any dirt and oil that may be trapped. Therefore, this product helps to prevent pimples before they even have a chance to start.
Even though it may seem to be frustrating at times, you still have reason to hope. There is definitely an acne solution out there that will work for you!

Suggestions for Severe Acne?
By: nycsc8 | 13-07-2008
Acne problem. My daughter (25) starting getting real bad acne abt yr ago. At first Clearsil started to help. Then it got worse. In the past year she has spend so much in trying to clear this problem. Proactiv, Murad, Xango. None are helping, some seem to make it worse. Went to dermatologist, got a Rx for some cleansing solution (Benzy something or other) 5%. Didn't work, went to a different doctor who should be investigated for his rude behavior. Gave her a Rx for another medication but said it probably won't help. Really upset her. Has anyone any other suggestions? She watches what she eats & drinks thinking that was the problem. Still after a year, it doesn't improve. HELP! Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank you
