The location of pimples can help you ID their cause—and find a cure.
If you have mild blemishes all over, but your skin is normal to dry, the zits are likely still caused by clogged pores, but your treatment should be different than that of your oily-skinned friends. Swap your regular cleanser for one with the active ingredient salicylic acid , which thins sebum and has antibacterial properties, but tends to be less drying than benzoyl peroxide.
If your acne is severe and you’ve tried an OTC product for at least a month with no improvement, it may be time to see a dermatologist. If the doc determines that your acne doesn’t seem to have a hormonal component, he or she may prescribe a topical treatment with the active drug tretinoin, a vitamin A derivative that helps clear pores. Depending on your skin type your derm could recommend Altreno, which comes in a moisturizing lotion base, while Retin-A-Micro comes in a lighter gel base.
