Apply the topical medicine directly onto the whiteheds and any other affected area of the skin.





You can鈥檛 get rid of whiteheads or blackheads overnight. It takes time. If used regularly, OTC topical medicines can be reasonably effective. Be patient. It might take 8 weeks or more before you will notice any difference in your skin. Most treatments would several weeks or even months before you can see any noticeable change.





Common OTC acne medicines used to treat acne include benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, resorcinol and sulfur. Each of this works differently and has different effects on the acne.





Benzoyl peroxide is useful for a mild case of comedones. It can also help to prevent formation of more whiteheads.





The effects of benzoyl peroxide are:








Antibacterial 鈥?Destroys and inhibits the growth of acne bacteria


Decreases the chemical reaction that cause changes to the lining of the hair follicle. This may help reduce the plugging that causes comedones.





Resorcinol and sulfur help to break down comedones like whiteheads and blackheads.





In addition to breaking down whiteheads and blackheads, salicylic acid also helps to reduce the shedding of cells lining the follicles of the sebaceous glands.





Topical OTC acne medicines come in various forms. It could be in the form of a gel, a lotion, a cream, a soap or pads.


Tretinoin (Retin-A, Avita, Renova) is the chief ingredient used in treatment of whiteheads and blackheads. Tretinoin is a derivative of vitamin A.





The effects of tretinoin are:











Increases skin cell renewal


Reduces the %26quot;stickiness%26quot; of the sloughed cells


Causes expulsion of plugged material


Converts closed comedones into open comedones. The material in these newly converted open comedones can be easily extruded.





Extraction may be used by a health care provider on open comedones or blackheads. This process is performed using a device called a comedone extractor. This is a small, metal, circular instrument that is centered on the comedone and pushes down the surrounding skin, causing the plug to extrude.|||Yep. You gotta go to a dermatologist.

Is natural yougurt effective to reduce the appaerance of large pores/acne scars?

I am using natural yougurt to reduce the appearnce of my large pores. Eveyday for 20 mins.Has anyone done it and know if it works.|||Ive suffered with acne for 5 years now and a friend told me recently that eliminating dairy products from your diet can help get rid of acne. I thought id give it a try since i have nothing to loose considering all the MONEY and time i have spent on acne products and facials in the past.





It took about 3 weeks to see a noticeable difference and 4 weeks later the only remains on my face are a few scars which will heal over time. I stopped eating/drinking milk, cream, ice cream, cheese and basically anything with high milk contents. I still eat some yogurt a few times a week because i still want some calcium intake and yogurt is also very good for your intensinal flora. I will also buy some calcium tablets.





After all these years of medication, expensive facial treatments, laser treatment anything you name it, i have done it, i can finally say im free from acne. I have to say though that i was shocked because of all the research ive done and doctors ive been to, never ever mentioned anything about dairy products and how they may be a major cause of acne. I also did more research about why milk may be a huge factor in acne and it came up with because of the hormones in milk that are produced by a cow when the cow is pregnant. It all makes sense and


finally after all these years i have found the cure for acne.





Forget the products for now stop eating any dairy products and see if there is any difference.
