    Best Known Remedy For Acne

    Hi there,

    Benzoyl peroxide can be found in many over the counter acne medications. It kills bacteria that worsen acne, unplugging oil ducts, and helping to heal acne pimples.

    Start slowly, with 5 percent gel or lotion once a day (such as after you wash your face to go to bed). After one week, increase use to twice a day if you are not using another medication. If your acne is not better after 4 to 6 weeks, try a 10 percent solution. It is now available over-the-counter (without a doctor's prescription). Be sure to get the pure form: you may want to ask the pharmacist for the type that used to be available by prescription only.

    Hi there,
    that sounds interesting - aspirin. How does the skin feel afterwards?
    Thanks,

    I've found that 2.5 percent benzoyl peroxide cream works best for treating acne. It doesn't irritate the skin as much as the higher concentrations. When I used 5 percent, it made my skin much too dry and red, but 2.5 percent is just enough to work without irritating.
