What is the best acne cream to get in superdrug or the body shop?

You can't get this stuff at the Body Shop, but I'm not sure about superdrug (we don't have those here) if it's like a regular drugstore, then you probably should be able to. I've come up with a cheaper version of Proactiv which has helped me a lot. You need to get:





1. a gentle cleanser (like Cetaphil or Spectro jel)


2. a good toner/astringent (like Clean %26amp; Clear)


3. a 2.5%-5% benzoyl peroxide cream (Spectro vanishing cream or Clean %26amp; Clear persa-gel 5) C%26amp;C 10 is available but that can seriously irritate your skin. Try to get something for ';sensitive skin'; to reduce the risk of allergies or irritation.


4. a gentle facial moisturizer (like Moisturel - it's important that the moisturizer you use isn't oily or heavy, it has to be for sensitive skin and quick absorbing and light)





When you've gone through the first 2 steps of cleansing your face and applying the toner, make sure your fingertips are clean and put a drop (size of a small pea) of the benzoyl cream and a drop of the moisturizer on your fingertip and mix together. Apply to your entire face and gently massage in. Do this everyday (once or twice) and you should see results in 2 weeks if not sooner. You may find that you get a few more minor pimples when you first start using it, but that's just the dormant ones coming to the surface. If you find your face gets too dry, try using bit more lotion than the benzoyl cream, OR apply more moisturizer afterwards. And if you have 1 or 2 really bad/big pimples put a separate dab of the benzoyl cream directly on them. Good luck!What is the best acne cream to get in superdrug or the body shop?
If you鈥檙e looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne鈥?prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.


For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it鈥檚 advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.





Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.


Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

I am a huge fan of the body shop products, but a cream is not what you need. the best way would be to use the Tea Tree line. I would recomend useing a face wash from that line, Toner, Scrub, and a mask from that line.

You shouldn't use a cream, you should use a combination of washing and moisturising. Use Clearasil Antibacterial wash (the blue one in the clear bottle). Wash your face with that then rinse with ice cold water to close your pores. Then moisturise. Problem solved.
