Living With Acne

This is our first step. Most teenagers are well aware of the most popular and widely advertised products. I recommend you try out one product at a time. Some teens will buy up all the latest treatments and may end up aggravating the area resulting in the acne getting worse! If you over use these products you may also over dry the oil causing dryness and peeling.

A good place to begin is with a face wipe or cleansing pad. If that fails to make a difference then move on to a product with benzoyl peroxide. Creams and lotions containing benzoyl peroxide can be found in any major drug store.

Some of these companies also sell a complete home kit. This typically contains a variety of products that work together to battle your blemishes. Buying one of these kits can help with the confusion of determining what products you should buy. They make the choices easier by giving you a skin regimen in a kit. Some of the big companies that carry these kits include Acne Free, Proactive, and L'Oreal's Acne Response.

Unfortunately, you will have to invest time in experimenting with these various products before you can figure out which one works best with your skin and the type of acne you have.
