Answer 1

if you have acne the best bet if you really want to get rid of it is retin-a or retinol, you can only get from doctor or dermatologist, as it really works!

Answer 2

After a few days of getting used to the pads, it doesn't matter how many you use at a time.  They are a form of peroxide used to oxygenate your skin and kill bacteria.

Better than pads, and much cheaper, is 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. The 2.5% is easier on your skin than 5%. You can get it as a cream or buy it as a liquid at the pharmacy.

Wash your face with an antibacterial soap. Use your hands, not a cloth. Avoid abrasive soaps. After you wash,  apply the peroxide or use the pads. After a few days, you can use a lot of the peroxide. The more you use, the deeper it will penetrate the cells and remove P.acne, the bacteria that cause the outbreaks.

After you use the peroxide (or the pads), let your face dry for about 5 minutes, and then apply an oil free moisturizer, preferably one that contains zinc. This will stop the flaking from dry skin, and reduce iritation from the treatment. The zinc helps to heal your skin and is also a tratment for acne. Make sure your face is dry, because you don't want to trap moisure on your skin.

You should do this twice a day, 12 hours apart. If you are outside a lot in a humid climate, or if you do anything that makes you sweat, cary the peroxide or the pads with you to remove the moisture.

Avoid excessive sun exposure. It causes skin damage and acne flare ups.

Take a good mult-vitamin that contains zinc and vitamint E. If you can find a supplement that contains uperoxide dismutase and/or gamma linolenic, it is better but not essential.

Stress will trigger acne, so try to avoid stressful situations if possible/

If you find that the pads or peroxide are not strong enough. you can try Salicylic Acid. It is the active ingredient in aspirin, You can find it at the pharmacy as an acne cream. It works the same way as the peroxide, but is is stronger. It also has the added benifit of being an anti-inflammatory. You would use the same regimen as with the peroxide.

Remember that whichever you choose, it is a treatment and not a cure. If you stop the treatment, your acne will return.

There are many new treatments that your doctor can recommend, They are much more healthy than the treatments of just a few years ago.

I would start out slow like one pad in the morning for two days then go to to one on the morning and night, then one in the morning one in the afternoon and one at night because that stuff can really dry out your skin, and your skin can end up lookin worse than it did before!! and don't use any other products while using that one !!
