How to Remove
Pimples
You want to remove pimples.
There are lots of options but only a few that actually
work.
How to remove
Pimples: Mild
Acne
The best way to remove pimples
if you have only mild acne is to use an over the counter
combination of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide cream or gel and salicylic
acid pads or cream. Here’s how it works: Benzoyl peroxide kills
acne causing bacteria and also helps to clears pores. It is
very effective for mild acne sufferers and that’s why it is the
“active” ingredient in most topical acne medications. Salicylic
acid doesn’t do much on its own but when you apply it to your
skin before the benzoyl peroxide, the BP is able to penetrate
more deeply. If you have mild acne, this is your best bet.
Don’t forget to look at my articles on acne prone skin
care.

How to remove
Pimples: if you’re a woman
If you are a woman and have
moderate to severe acne, you may wish to investigate hormone
therapy as a possible option. High estrogen birth control
pills, spironolactone and Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone
Agonists are some of your options. Hormone therapy generally
seeks to cut or counteract androgen hormone production by the
ovaries and there can be side effects. Talk to your doctor to
see if hormone therapy is right for you.
How to Remove
Pimples: Moderate and Severe Acne
Accutane is a strong drug that
is effective in the treatment of moderate to severe acne that
is generally unresponsive to topical treatments. Accutane was
recently removed from the American market due to lawsuits
resulting from severe side effects. Accutane should only be
used as a last resort. It will take many months and perhaps up
to a year for the results to be seen and in the meantime,
severe red and peeling skin can be expected as well as a
worsening or your complexion.
For this reason, I recommend
trying one of the holistic acne treatments to remove
pimples first. If you follow the holistic programs you can
remove your pimples at a much lower cost and more quickly than
with Accutane. The only side effects are better health. Read my
product reviews for more information on guaranteed holistic
alternatives.
How Not to Remove
Pimples:
Squeezing, popping,
scratching, picking… You’ll only make things worse! Leave those
pimples alone. Without treatment, most pimples clear up in 5-7
days. They can take much longer and spread if you start poking
them.
Washing – You can’t wash away
pimples. Harsh soaps and products will make things worse. The
best way to clean our skin is also the simplest. Please see my
article on acne prone skin care to see the proper way to clean
your skin.
Hyped up Acne products – The
truth is that most of the heavily marketed acne scrubs, washes,
cleansers and pore strips are unnecessary and ineffective. Even
if they contain active ingredients like benzoyl peroxide,
rinsing them off after a few seconds means that there is no
time to benefit your skin. They will not help to remove
pimples. Save your money!
