There are several options for treating your acne, most dependent on the type and severity of acne that you have. You will find that when you look in the acne-prevention section of your local drug store that there is a wide selection of products.

Most of these are designed to fight not the acne, but the symptoms and breakouts. There is such a variety because everyone’s acne responds differently. So what works for your friend or coworker may not work for you at all.

The same is true with home remedies. You may hear of a variety of homeopathic remedies involving different fruits, vegetables, vitamins, and minerals. Again, your results will vary and it will not work the same for everyone.

Often, a gentle approach is the best way to try and treat your acne. Using soaps that are too harsh or scrubbing fiercely at your skin will only cause further irritation and discomfort. Find a gentle acne was and use it to wash your face twice a day. This will help reduce the bacteria and excess oil that cause acne breakout. However, it can take some time for current breakouts to heal up and disappear. You may need to try a few different cleansers to find one that works best with your skin.

Most acne cleansers are designed to cleanse your face from oil, sweat, dirt, and makeup that can clog your pores. Many will also include benzoyl peroxide, a product designed to kill the bacterial responsible for acne. A gentle astringent and moisturizer will help to complete your skin care routine. While it may sound contradictory, you need to moisturize your face after cleansing to keep your skin from becoming too dry.

Remember that aside from washing your face and applying medication, you should leave acne breakouts alone. Picking or squeezing acne pimples and cysts will force the infection deeper into your skin, making the problem worse.
