Neutrogena on-the-spot acne treatment
I have been using Neutrogena on-the-spot acne treatment at night and
sometimes in the morning, but i think it is drying out my skin too much
because during the day im very oily. This treatment is only 2.5% benzyle
peroxide (or wutever the word is). Are there any less treatments than this
one?
I'm not a regular poster to this group, but I do battle acne and I've tried the
Neutrogena 2.5% and while it does seem to do wonders at drying up breakouts -
it also dries up my skin (esp. in winter) to the point where its all taut and
flakey, almost painful. There are other 2.5% products out there that also work
well but combine the BP with chammomile or aloe, alantoin etc. so that you get
the medicine you need without the dryness.
ProActiv makes a good one but you have to buy the whole system. I use one by
Paula's Choice which is a liquidy lotion formula (2.5%)it contains ingredients
to soothe and also to reduce reddness.
It costs about $12 for 4 oz. and you can get at: http://www.paulaschoice.com
(And no, I don't work for them and am not connected to the company in anyway.
Its just a good bp product thats worked well for me.) Peter Thomas Roth also
makes a BP product, you can check out this line at Sephora.com (its a bit more
pricey, so I've not tried it personally)
