Some adults do suffer from bad acne and the impact can be devastating as skin problems can cause a lack of confidence and be depressing. However there are some excellent treatments available to sufferers.
We have provided a few of the best non-prescription products, from some of the leading brands, that you can use to complement your prescribed medicines or existing skincare regime.
Benzoyl Peroxide – Benzoyl Peroxide is a core element of treating acne and can be found in many prescribed gels, creams and ointments. If you are not already using it as part of your prescribed acne treatments it is available from a number of skincare retailers. Jan Marini, gloTherapeutics and Obagi all produce products that contain Benzoyl Peroxide. It is best to seek advice from a skincare professional before using Benzoyl Peroxide.
Jan Marini Bioglycolic Cleanser – A good cleanser is a key part of any skincare regime, especially if you suffer from acne. This cleanser can be used on all skin types and it is gentle compared to other acne targeted cleansers. The main ingredient is glycolic acid. Glycolic acid is very good at penetrating deep into the skin and breaking down the top levels which improves texture and ultimately reduces the appearance of blemishes such as acne damage. It is often used by skincare professionals for chemical peels but in much higher concentrations. A stronger alternative for more experienced users of glycolic acid products is NeoStrata Foaming Glycolic Wash.
