DO I NEED A MEDICATED CLEANSER FOR MY ACNE...

SHOP ACNE CLEANSER IN CHICO, CA      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Medicated cleansers are most commonly medicated with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, but glycolic, lactic and mandelic acids are other types of active ingredients used in medicated acne formulations.

How do you know which cleanser is right for your skin? It's tricky, and this is where an acne specialist comes into play. It's important to know which of the above ingredients your skin responds best to. Not everyone responds well to salicylic, which is in a majority of over-the-counter acne products. Benzoyl peroxides can over-dry the skin causing further set backs.

An acne specialist determines which products benefit your acne the most with the least amount of irritation. An acne specialist takes into consideration - acne type, severity of acne, skin type, degree of sensitivity and the current condition of your skin. Is the barrier in tact or compromised? Something as simple as using the right acne cleanser can help turn your skin around.
