Answer 5

am a Registered Nurse and I specialize in skin care and teen acne.

From my 12 years of experience I have to be honest, store bought products do not work!

Your question is very broad and you need to get professional advice. I will explain why it's a broad question!

Your age plays a role! How old are you? Do you always have breakouts?

However, acne can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produced. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.

Genetics may also be a cause. It is a myth that greasy food or chocolate causes breakouts.

However, using make-up sponges that are not changed or washed often can contaminate the pores with bacteria which may develop into acneic breakouts.

If you are a teenager ( which I assume that you are) your hormones play a definite role in your breakouts.

If you have severe breakouts than you might need medication. There are many factors.

The most important thing is that you need products that are AGE APPROPRIATE! Every age group has different products appropriate for them. If you are young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.

The problem with commercial skin products is that they are manufactured for MASSES OF PEOPLE and are not specifically made for different peoples' needs.

Your skin type is different than mine and your age differs from mine so how is it logical that we both use the same skin product for breakouts. We need different strengths of cleansers and toners. Do you kind of understand what I am getting at?

Here is my STRONG SUGGESTION for you. I refer all my students and patients to this website:

www.aboutyourskincare.com

You need to consult with professionals and on this website YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS FOR FREE AND A SKIN EXPERT/PHYSICIAN WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. It would be a shame if you dont take advantage of this free service.

Lastly, they have incredible products for breakouts and they make them specifically for every kind of skin type. That means that if your breakouts are more severe than mine, than while we both will buy the same product yours will have stronger ingredients than mine will.

They have a mild glycolic acid cleanser that's great for your type of skin and also a DRYING LOTION ( I have 3 bottles) that you put directly on your breakouts and the next day it's gone. It's truely magic in a bottle.

A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you're a young girl you will need fewer products than this):

Night time:

1. Exfoliate the skin

2. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

3. Mild Glycolic Acid Toner ( cleans off the excess debris and balances the PH level of the skin).

4. Drying Lotion used only on breakouts

5. Moisturizer

Morning:

1. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

2. Moisturizing cream

The above is a standard you may need to only use one or two products. Visit: www.aboutyourskincare.com

Good Luck to you,

Answer 6

Hey!

well let me tell you, you really have my sympathy and understanding! Because from the age of 9 Yes 9!!, ive had acne prone and disgustingly oily skin! It just makes you feel so dirty as the day goes on, i know!

But after almost 10 years of trying zillions of products heres what has drastically changed my skin for the better;

1) if you have spotty skin as well as oily, i really recommend Dermalogica AntiBac Skin Wash. Its great.

2) if you have just very oily skin then Dermalogicas Dermal Clay Cleanser is a kaolin clay-containing wash and just whisks the oil of your face and its really cooling and refreshing.... and is maybe less harsh on your skin as it doesnt contain the salicylic acid that the AntiBac does.

Dermalogica is pretty pricey - but Guaranteed to work, not block your pores or irritate sensitive skin.

3) My newest and most favourite find is 5% BENZOYL PEROXIDE gel/cream. IT IS UNREAL and really cheap. There are a few brands you can try at your local drugstore/pharmacy. I use PanOxyl. Dont start off with 10% BP cuz its not necessary and will probably dry out your skin a lot. 2.5-5% is just as effective and less irritating. Ask in your local drugstore or pharmacy for it definitely-- this is my biggest recommendation!

I hope this helps you. Its really made a huge difference to my confidence and my skin is clear and smooth and not a oilslick...i dont look like someone rubbed a bottle of petroleum on my face anymore! I am beaming with confidence and amnt rushing to the bathroom inbetween classes to wipe my face clean with wet tissue anymore.

Oil-blotting/absorbing sheets may also help. Keep them in your bag when your out and about. Mac, Clinique and the Body Shop all sell their own versions. I get mine at Muji but i dont need them anymore!

Dont be alarmed if your skin looks flaky and dry wen you start using the BP. Apply not too much, use it quite sparingly all over ur face, and then your skin will adjust to it over a week or so.

If you still want to use a moisturiser I like Evians Oxygenating one. Make sure ur choice is oil free.

Good luck!xx

Answer 7

Try Neutrogena Deep Clean Cream Cleanser. When you put it on your face, leave it on for a minute or so before washing it off.
