Best acne product for cystic acne?
October 8th, 2011Question: Greatest acne product for cystic acne?
I have moderately severe cystic acne.
I’ve tried Neutrogena, Clean and Clear, Biore, and all that other junk. It’s too harsh for my skin, my skin gets irritated easily by benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid doesn’t do much for me either.
My skin gets dry really easily so I tried using Clinique’s moisturizer but it doesn’t help much either.
I have very thin, asian skin.
I want a natural, gentle product like the ones from Laneige that soothe my skin, but also something that is strong enough to GET RID OF this acne, not just PREVENT it. I’d also like to find some nice spot treatments as well.
I’d really like asian brands because ordering online is no problem for me and American brands tend to have really harsh chemicals.
Currently, I am using mixtures of home remedies, St. Ive’s green tea cleanser, Clinique’s moisturizer for oily skin, and Alba’s acne toner.

The best solution is to make an appointment with a dermatologist. He/She will prescribe you lotions and pills for your acne. I used to have really bad acne and after I followed the prescription of my dermatologist my acne is gone.
Don’t anticipate a “miracle” product. Acne needs patience.

well I don’t know a product to help prevent cystic acne, I know a product that can treat cysts when they pop up. try BoilEase. you can get it at s rite aid or cvs. it’s a thick topical cream and smells a little funny but it works for me.
Go on Accutane it actually works .. has its risks but i think its worth it for sure because everyone that i know that used it didn’t have any problems using it but you got to go the doctors to go on it and it gets rid of your acne for good my friends dont even have a dot on their face anymore its crazy how well this stuff works
Hi Tammy
This answer is to offer you some tips you may haven’t considered ..though they may sound pretty basic… I hope it helps you. For one not all acne programs like Proactive works for every one.
What agravates acne?
1- Oily hair.. so stay away from oily hair products like pomades, hairsprays and keep your hair off your forehead & face, keepit pulled back or have a short hair style, maybe put it in a hair net at night as it will keep it off of your skin.
2- Skin cosmentics and suntan lotions.. so use types that do not clog pores .. like noncomedogenic (google it)
3- Skin moisterizers on acne prone skin ..if you do feel you need to .. make sure it is not acnegenic.
4- Washing your skin with hot water and harsh cleansers that can can further irritate your skin. ..Wash the skin gently with a mild soap or cleanser and warm (not hot) water once or twice daily.
5- Scrubbing your skin to get rid of acne, this can actually make your acne worse and promote scarring by increasing inflammation or rupturing cysts under your skin, making bacteria spread.
6- Picking your pimples or blackheads.. this can leave permanent scars. If you feel you just have to get that head out that is ready to burst.. go gently & immediately apply a topical antibiotic to help stave off infection.
7-Stressing out. Stress can cause acne break outs, and herpie outbreaks as well. Quit worrying over the outward appearance of acne .. it doesn’t make you a bad person.. real beauty in a lot deaper than the skin.
8- Not getting enough sleep can cause stress as well so get to bed and those 8 hours in .. an nap when you feel like.
9- Poor nutrition …everyone knows that more fruits and vegetables in your diet is more healthy.. a healthy body will heal itself. Start drinking a lot more water .. and cut out those pops.
10- No exersise.. exersising everyday can also make you healthier and rejevenate the skin by the increased oxegen from the increased blood flow.. it will make you stronger and healthier when combined with a nutritious diet.
11- Hot humid environments.. like poorly ventilated gyms and kitchens.. the cooking grease your exposed to can add to pore clogging…
12-Working out bacteria.. from equipment and sweat.. bring a long some pre-wetted alcohol towlelettes to gently wipe the sweat from your face .. back .. hands.. chest .. a long the work out lines ..to tight fitting work out clothes that trap moisture can cause bumps on your chest or back. .so wear lose fitting cotton attire.. in fact wearing lose fitting breathable attire always is beneficial when combating acne..
13- Dirty make up and make up brushes.. throw out old contaminated make up and wash your brushes regularly in soapy water ..
Some quick tips.. and I am a believer in the natural approach to healing ones body, ..the url below helped me..I learned about it from an article..maybe it can help you if you want to pursue healing your acne naturally and permanently…I’m not trying to sell you on it ..form your own opinion.. but it might be worth a look for you. I feel it offers a good path to permanent healing of skin problems and acne.
Last tip .. bacteria is one of the key causes of acne, anything that keeps bacteria from touching your skin will help in acne prevention.
I hope this helps you Tammy

As an acne sufferer, you may be frustrated with the drugstore treatments that don’t work as well as you’d hoped. Many people have found that simple home remedies work well for treating this stubborn problem. To finally get rid of your acne, give the following home remedies a try.
Some nutritionists consider fresh wheatgrass juice a super food and drinking it can help clear up acne. This product is available may be available at your local health food stores or juice bars or you can search online for it.
While you can get it in supplement form, it’s best if you can drink it as a fresh juice. Some have found it best to get a wheatgrass juicer and make it at home. You only need to consume an ounce a day to get the benefits which can help to offset the high cost. Wheatgrass is a powerful raw food that cleans out your body, so while you’re taking it you should also avoid junk foods such as sugar as much as possible. After you acne has cleared, you may find that you want to continue taking wheatgrass juice for its many other health benefits.
Melaleuca oil, or tea tree oil, is another great natural treatment for acne. Melaleuca oil’s strong anti-fungal and antibacterial properties make it very effective at treating acne. Acne is often caused by bacteria, and tea tree oil is very good at fighting these. Apply it with clean cotton. Because pure tea tree oil is very strong and can irritate the skin, you will want to dilute it before use. If you buy a product containing tea tree oil, be sure to read the instructions carefully. To find out if the product will irritate your skin further, use only a little bit the first few times you use it. Tea tree oil can be a very effective natural acne remedy.
You can treat many conditions with garlic, including acne. Garlic has anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties that make it one of the best substances to use against acne. After crushing the garlic with a garlic press or a mortar and pestle, apply it to your face.
Leave it on for no more than five minutes; any longer than that can cause irritation to the skin. Daily applications will soon have your acne disappearing. You can help the process by taking a garlic supplement, which also allows the garlic to work on you internally. Acne is a very common condition in both teenagers and adults but that doesn’t mean that you have to just live with it. If you have a very serious condition you may want to consult a dermatologist, but in many cases home remedies, such as the ones we’ve covered in this answer, can be effective in treating acne.
