Skincare Products for Acne
While there’s no way to safely remove pimples overnight, these tips can accelerate the natural healing process of pimples or even prevent.
If you’re experiencing a really bad case of acne, don’t despair. While not overnight cures, these skincare ingredients can help you manage your breakout quickly. Be sure to consult your dermatologist before applying new products to your skin.
Benzoyl peroxide. This is the most common type of acne cleanser on the market. It clears up the pores and removes blockages like dead skin cells and dirt while simultaneously killing acne-causing bacteria. Use this with caution, however, as too much benzoyl peroxide can irritate the skin, causing even more acne.
Sulfur. This can clear excess oil and unclog pores. Unfortunately, it can also cause dryness. Be sure to stay hydrated and moisturized.
Alpha hydroxy acid. This is an acid that can remove dead skin cells and encourage newer, healthier skin growth.
Salicylic acid. This can prevent skin from clogging up. It is often used in acne-specific lotions.
Pimple patches. These can’t actually prevent or remove acne, but it can prevent an already popped pimple or lesion from getting worse by keeping the lesion moisturized. This is a temporary fix for accidents or emergency situations.
When to seek professional help
It’s best to consult your dermatologist before using any new skincare products. Similarly, if your acne does not disappear after 6 to 8 weeks of proper skincare, consult your doctor. They may prescribe different medications or ointments.
Key Takeaway
While there’s safe method to remove pimples overnight, there are ways to prevent and/or manage breakouts. These include keeping your hair away from your face, maintaining proper hygiene, and regularly changing your clothes, towels, and bed sheets. Consult your dermatologist if your acne persists or worsens.
