A Personal Experience With Acne And My Recommendation

A couple of years ago, in my last two years of secondary school I started to suffer from acne. First it started over my nose and then I noticed what looked like a rash forming on the outside of my face on the left side. This was I course lots of bright red spots. These would then come and go leaving the skin red, irritated and scared which I think was the worst thing for me. 

I had been using everything I could possibly think of but everything I tried made little or no improvement to my skin. I decided I should go and visit my doctor to see if they could give me anything stronger. I would like to point out that my acne was not all over my face and it was definitely not really bad acne that I know a lot of people suffer with. However it was scaring my skin and quite painful. 

My doctor gave me something called PanOxyl I think it was called which was a gel formula that contained Benzoyl Peroxide. At first I really hated it, it itched and made my skin look even worse, it was bright red and I seemed to have the wort dry skin. This however was it working it's magic and getting rid of the top layer of skin which I know sounds extreme but it really does get rid of the spots. All you had to do was work into into the skin the smallest amount into the problem areas and leave it to do its thing. They however after my third tube discontinued the product. My spots were gone but would come back when I stopped using the gel.

My doctor prescribed me various treatments after and none of them worked. I decided I take thinks into my own hands and visited a pharmacy asking for the same ingredient of Benzoyl Peroxide and to my surprise they had a very similar product that was just in a cream formula rather than a gel. This was called Quinoderm which is what I use still today! I couldn't recommend a product like this enough. It costs a couple of pounds because you are buying it rather than being prescribed it but it is all worth it. You can get them in different strengths too which means that the worse the acne is the stronger product you can get.

If you suffer with acne then I would recommend any products with Benzoyl Peroxide in to calm down and get rid of your spots and acne. It will need time to work and you will need to be patient with the product but once it starts to work you will be amazed at the results. Obviously I am not an expert on skin and cannot guarantee that this product will work for you or that it wont give anyone problems I am simply sharing my opinions on a certain product and recommending it for its abilities. Always read the instructions when using products like this.
