Popular Acne Treatments

There are many types of acne treatments on the market. So many, in fact, that you might be wondering how to decide which acne treatment is the right one for you. Some common types of topical treatments include: alcohol based solutions, creams, foams, gels, lotions, and ointments. Some acne treatments are available over the counter and some are available by prescription.

I Know I Have Acne. So How Can a Dermatologist Help me?

First, a dermatologist can tell you what type of acne you have. This will be important in finding an effective acne treatment. Some of the different types of acne include:

Sulfur: Sulfur helps to unclog pores and remove bacteria. It also reduces inflammation. Tea Tree Oil: Tea Tree Oil kills acne and is a common ingredient found in cleansers and toners. Benzoyl Peroxide: Benzoyl Peroxide provides oxygen to the pores causing the acne to die. However, it is very drying to the skin.

Next, a dermatologist can perform some procedures during your office visit that can immediately improve your complexion. There are many procedures available including:

The first thing to remember is that even when you have already developed acne, keeping your skin clean is important. Keep up your skin care routine daily.

Antibiotics: Antibiotics can be effective in treating acne but be careful not to use them for too long so that you do not build up a resistance.

Topical Creams or Lotions: Some of these creams contain Vitamin A, some contain benzoyl peroxide, and some contain antibiotics.

Oral Antibiotics: Oral medication may be useful in clearing some types of acne by reducing the amount of bacteria in the skin.

Differin: Differin is similar to Retin A in that it is a topical prescription medication derived from Vitamin A. It is less drying than Retin A and a good alternative if you find that your skin is irritated by the Retin A. As with Retin A, be sure to use proper sun block.

Given all of these variables, it is best to consult with your dermatologist to determine the acne treatment that is best for you.
