Choosing a suitable Acne Cream is one of the most challenging decisions you can make. There are so many brands, each with its product line, that it can be hard to find the best one for your skin type.
To help narrow down your search, here are few precautions for choosing an acne cream:
Number #1: The first one is to choose a cream that has the appropriate concentration of benzoyl peroxide. Look for between two and ten percent, but do not buy anything over ten percent because it will be too harsh on your skin.
Number #2: The second precaution is to make sure you know how long you can use an acne cream before stopping treatment with it completely. If there is a warning that says you should not use it for over two weeks, then do not buy the product.
If your skin gets used to using benzoyl peroxide and stops reacting negatively after only one week, there is no need to continue with continuous applications of the cream; this can cause irritation and dryness out of fear of acne.
Number #3: The third thing to consider is the type of skin you have and where acne problems occur on your face or body.
If you only have acne on your arms, back, or certain other areas of the body, then you do not need to buy a cream that would be appropriate for your face.
