What works better than benzoyl peroxide against acne? The answer is L’Oreal Dermo Expertise Acne Response Intensive Adult Acne Peel, 3-Step System! Dermo Expertise Acne Response Intensive Adult Acne Peel does both the job of fighting acne effectively while combating the signs of aging.

Formulated with 2% Salicylic Acid, it stimulates new cell turnover and penetrates into the pores for clearer and more refined skin.

Salicylic Acid 20% Gel Peel, 30ml is a professional grade peel for home use. It is seriously the best thing I tried so far to clear acne and most importantly those stubborn blackheads. 20% Salicylic Acid 20% Gel Peel is considered to be one of the mildest amongst the concentration of facial acids available but do not be fooled!

My skin is no stranger to acid treatments. Having tried and gotten completely used to 20% glycolic acid so much so that I feel just a slight tingle. I thought that my skin could handle 20 % salicylic acid just as well.

Acne Free in 3 Days is an ebook (US $39.95) that’s been around for some time. First released on 2003, it was pretty big sensation and many people bought into the hype of the product and for a period of time I couldn’t stop hearing about it. It’s as if everyone was raving and ranting about the acne treatment regime recommended in the book.

Being the curious cat that I am, I read it a year after it was released and actually tried the method that promises to help you get rid of acne in 3 days.

La Roche-Posay Effaclar K Acne Treatment Fluid is an excellent acne treatment cream. This cream intensively targets sebum build up in pores with LHAâ„¢, a keratolytic agent that micro- exfoliates skin surface.

This cream provides gentle exfoliating benefits, unblocking pores of dead skin cells and sebum buildup that causes acne.

This is achievable because blue light promotes the elimination of acne bacteria, P. vulgaris. Blue light therapy also aids the skin healing process.

Having tried a few medicated soaps I eventually came across PanOxyl Bar 10%, a benzoyl peroxide soap that has gotten really good reviews so far from many out there. It contains 10% benzoyl peroxide and as most of you know, benzoyl peroxide is an excellent topical method to kill acne-causing bacteria.
