How to get rid of low mild cystic acne?
my acne is not supperr bad but its still bad, especially on my right cheek...is there a way where it can go away in the next 2-3 weeks? thanks guys!
ps. my routine is: i wash my face with OXY face wash, then Clean & Clear moisturizer, then the OXY pads, then the OXY treatment; the one with salicylic acid in it. then usually if i go out somewhere i get very self-conscious and so i put foundation(Dream Matte Mousse Foundation). then some blush..i know i shouldnt but i dont want to show off my acne :(. but then i wash it off when i come home and do the whole routine again.
pss. i tried proactiv, didn't work
well i dont know for sure if it's cystic acne because it doesn't hurt but it kind of does look like cystic acne because it's red and ugly.

Acne is only appears when Ur "skin pores"(holes) got clogged with dirt, oil, pollution etc. Its not becoz the bacteria or the excess oil. The simple rule is to "clean Ur pores and and open them and open them all the time". Mostly experienced dermatologists give these suggestions and prescribe products to remove the blockage. But majority of doctors don’t do this they only concentrate on "creams and antibiotics" to make U come again.
U can stop pimples simply by following these steps daily.
CLEANSING: There is "cleansers" available. These are different than soaps and fash washs. Cleansers don’t give "form" but it cleans deep into Ur pores and removes the dirt oil and other substances.
First use warm water on Ur face(warm water is not necessary but effective) then apply little amount( four pie size) cleanser circle motion avoid eyes. Leave it for 2 minutes then rinse well with water or U can use cotton pads to wipe it out. Use cleanser not more than 3 times a day.
EXFOLIATION: This is nothing but removing "dead skin". Ur skin dies every 28 days(all the skin don’t die same time) and forms new skin, U have to remove the dead skin from the pores or it will leads to clogging resulting as pain full acne. There is a miyth that "Scrub" makes skin more oily, the fact is before scrubbing the pores are blocked so no way the oil can’t reach the surface it becomes as acne, but after scrubbing the pores becomes clear so the oil will reach the surface with out blockage.
After cleansing, Use "scrub"(either wall nut or apricot). Take a 4 pie sized scrub on ur fingers and rub gently on Ur face in a circle motion and the neck, avoid eyes. Wash with clean water. Normal cleansing can’t remove the dead skin so U must use scrub. U can use the scrub not more than 2 times a day. Scrubbing also removes " Black Heads" and prevents from coming.
Some cleansers or face wash contains "cleansing and exfoliation properties" U can use them as alternatives to the both cleanser and scrub.
TONING: After applying the scrub and making Ur skin dry, apply little amount of "toner" all around Ur face and neck with cotton.(U can apply it with cotton on Ur face and with hand on Ur neck). Thats it now U can just leave it or U can apply makeup(if U a girl).
U need to follow these steps daily in a strict manner. Clean Ur hands with antibacterial soap before touching Ur face and cleansing Ur face. Stop using any soaps to Ur face.
Use clean towels and choths and clean Ur surroundings, especially the remotes, handles, keyboards, mouse, etc that U use mostly with hand. Clean Ur pets once a week with antibacterial soaps. Limit Ur oil consumption. If U have dandruff its better to wipe it quickly before it make more complicated acne.
The most of the "pimple kits" on this same method so its better to select a product "which is herbal and cheap". U can stop upto 90% of acne this way, U may still get very few acne but believe me few acne on Ur face makes U sexy.
Here is one of the best all in one product. This is just to give U a example of combined deep cleancing, exfoliation and fashwash so U can buy similar to this product.

Your best bet is to go to the doctor…they can prescribe you creams that actually WORK. The stuff they sell in drug stores is okay for very mild acne, but it does little to help with any acne that is even mildly severe. Go to your doctor, and you will be able to clear your skin up:)
