"Pimples form when the oil and dead skin cells on your skin combine to form a plug that blocks the pores. Usually your skin naturally sheds its dead cells. But if your body produces a lot of sebum (oil), those cells can get stuck in your pores, according to the American
Academy of dermatology AAD"
That's exactly what causes acne.
They appear commonly in teenagers but with time dry off.
Adult acnes are the hardest to clear.
Another man's meat is another man's poison. People react to products differently, that's why you need patience.
It's really unfair that the population of dermatologist is really low in this country and so we lack access to their services. So finding what works for you
Is self care.
Treatments for acne are prescribed according to the grades they belong.
This is grade 1 acne, 2, 3 & 4 respectively.
I would only be sharing treatments for 1, 2 and maybe 3. Grade 3 and 4 acnes need the attention of a dermatologist or acne specialist.
I know 1 treatment that would reduce them to an apparent level.
1. Salicylic acid. Salicylic acid has anti-inflammatory properties to help with inflamed cystic breakouts that can occur when blockages deep in the hair follicles rupture beneath the skin. They can cure grade one acnes.
Although it’s totally fine to use salicylic acid in a
face wash, you may find that you have better results when using it as a toner, moisturizer, or leave-on spot treatment because these give it more time to do its work.
And keep in mind, salicylic acid can dry out the skin if over-applied, so it would be wise to choose only
One product that contains it. I recommend
Neutrogena oil-free acne wash:
Apply on your clean hands, add some water, work into lather and massage your face gently. Rinse thoroughly.
Cleanse your face, treat with the Acne wash, moisturize and use sunscreen.
Neutrogena hydro boost sunscreen is a good pick too.
Repeat same routine at night.
Be patient and consistent and if you can make it, see your doctor and ask for a dermatologist recommendation.
Grade 3 and 4 needs professional handling.
