Different Acne Treatment For Various Skin Types

By now, almost everybody has seen the late night and early morning acne infomercials with Jessica Simpson and Sean “Diddy” Combs. I guess they figure, if a celebrity trusts something, then so should you. The promises made for the product sound surreal, and yet for many people it may be just the cure they’re looking for. Even so, it may not be for everybody.

For example, one of my girls had come down with a bad case of acne. She tried one of the infomercial solutions, and it failed to work on her acne at all. Being a young teen, she was in a desperate way to find a solution for her acne breakouts, and find one fast. Being unable to find a quick solution, we finally wound up making an appointment with the local dermatologist for acne information and answers. The doctor ended up giving her a prescription for a cream and an oral medication. After following his directions for a couple weeks, her acne had virtually departed. This was the right solution for her, but it may not be for you - because all of us are different.

Here are some general tips that I’ve discovered over the years:

If you have oily skin - it’s best to take a medicated acne product or one in gel form.

Is your skin on the dry and flaky side? Then, odds are that the acne cream form and medicated products with benzoyl peroxide or salycic acid will work best on your skin..

If you have both oily AND dry skin (combined type) - you will probably need a combination of oily skin gels and dry skin acne creams to apply to different parts of your face according to the skin condition there.

If you have sensitive skin - you will more than likely need less intense concentrations of either dry, oily, or combined-type treatments.

Some people with acne experience skin pain. If so, you should get personal attention from a dermatologist.

Thousands of doctor’s patients go for years trying to find the right treatment for their skin afflictions. With the advances in science, you’d think that the acne problem would have been solved long ago and that acne would be a pale memory. Unfortunately the age-old confidence destroyer is still around and going strong.

Now, having reached middle age myself, I find that I look at things in a new way when it comes to unsightly blemishes. Today, I find that my skin tends to be a bit oily and I often have acne break-outs after moisturizing my face. As I get older, one of the few things I look forward to as I age is the absence of acne marks on my face.
