Acne can be
a persistent problem for some people, especially through adolescenc.
Many acne treatments are available at a dermatologist's office or even
over the counter at stores. Some help treat acne, with results seen in a
few days, while some treatments take many sessions, over a period of a
month, to show results. Solutions containing benzoyl peroxide and
salicylic acid can reduced the swelling of acne pimples overnight. The
concentration of the two ingredients also determines how quickly they
can treat the problem.
Instructions

1
Use products containing salicylic acid. Face washes and
exfoliators will slough off dead cells on the surface of the skin.
Salicylic acid helps treat acne in a way that it prevents the pores from
getting clogged by an accumulation of dead skin cells.
-
2
Use face scrubs that contain salicylic acid. The beads or
grit within the scrub will also help to exfoliate dead cells so that
they do not linger on the skin, clogging the pores.

3
Look for acne products containing 2 percent benzoyl
peroxide. Higher concentrations of the ingredient may treat acne with
faster results, but a higher concentration may cause side effects such
as redness to the skin. Benzoyl peroxide acts faster than salicylic acid
because it penetrates deep into the skin to eliminate bacteria and oil.
Apply acne solutions containing benzoyl peroxide to the affected area
or directly on the pimple.

4
Use creams or lotions containing benzoyl peroxide. Face
washes containing the ingredient act effectively for treating acne, but
the cream solutions respond faster because they remain on your skin for a
longer period of time.
-
5
Apply the cream to the affected area and not all over the
face. If you have a few pimples, you can apply the solution to pimple
directly. Since benzoyl peroxide can be drying to the face, apply the
solution directly to the pimples.
