A good acne treatment should put you on the path to clear and healthy skin. In order for any acne cream or lotion to work, it has to stop the cause of acne. It can be a real challenge to sort through all of the Acne treatments out there today because the number of products available is staggering.

If your acne is mild to moderate in severity you can buy a couple of Acne products at a drug store to see if they work for you. Look for those products containing any of the following ingredients: benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, gytone, benzaderm gel. Many of the leading brands of acne medications being sold over the counter contain benzoyl peroxide so you may wish to start with one of those. You should know that benzoyl peroxide is sold over the counter in various strengths ranging from 2% to 10%. If your acne is severe, go with the 10% peroxide as it will be more effective in killing the bacteria that is causing the weeping and redness.

A good Acne cream containing sulfur can do a really good job of clearing up your skin. Sulfur is a drying agent which will go into the pores to dry up the excessive oils which are causing the skin outbreaks. Many acne creams containing sulfur also contain resorcinol, which is an ingredient that removes dead skin cells.
