Acne Treatment in Three Easy Steps
Poziom:
Temat: Życie codzienne

Hello, I’m Dr. Neal Schultz
[pause]
and welcome to DermTV.
Almost everybody experiences acne breakouts
at some point in their life,
but if you’re breaking out now and you want
to take control and stop your
breakouts, I’m going to tell you how to
do it by just using three types of
products twice a day, cleansers, toners and
products with active
ingredients. These are very, very important
because they’re available to
you without a prescription without going to
see the doctor. But before I
tell you about them, let me tell you about
the general treatment of acne.
Acne can be treated in three ways. First,
with these topical products,
second, with oral medications which are usually
prescribed by your
dermatologist, such as antibiotics, birth
control pills or even Accutane,
and lastly, by actually physically cleaning
the pores, and cleaning the
clogs out, and that’ s usually done by a
facialist or by the dermatologist
but hopefully not by you. So, let me come
back to these all important
topical products that are available to you
again without a doctor’s
prescription. Each day, twice a day, you’re
going to use a cleanser, a
toner, and a product with an active ingredient.
In the morning, you’re
going to start with a cleanser that’s marked
for oily skin or for acne-
prone skin and you’ll use it by putting
a small amount in your palm and
very gently massaging it into your face for
5-10 seconds. Rinse it off with
warm water and pat your face dry. Then you’re
going to take a toner, and
that’s the same thing as an astringent,
again marked for oily skin or for
acne-prone skin, and astringents that are
marked that way, can even have
5-10% alcohol content. And that’s OK. Put
a little bit of the toner on a
thin, cotton, makeup pad and gently wipe your
face. As you wipe again and
again, you’ll see hues of yellow or gray
or brown coming onto the pad and
that means the toner is working. It’s removing
any residual debris, oil or
dirt that the cleanser didn’t remove, and
it may even be removing some
cleaner that didn’t come off when you rinsed.
Then, again in the morning,
you’re going to put an active ingredient
directly on the blemish. Active
ingredients are chemicals like salicylic acid,
resorcinol or even sulfur,
and people like to use sulfur and resorcinol
products in the morning
because they not only treat the blemishes
but they also are often skin-
tinted so they act as a cover-up. In the evening,
you’re going to do the
same cleansing and toning, bu you’re going
to use a special active
ingredient, an exfoliant, such as glycolic
acid, this is 8% glycolic acid,
and it works by removing dead cells, not only
from the surface of your skin
but also from the actual pores that contributes
to the clogging, and you
want to put this on your entire face to treat
not only the clogs that are
there, but to help prevent the clogs that
are coming tomorrow. Then, when
you’re finished putting on the exfoliant,
you’ll take an active ingredient
like benzoyl peroxide, this is 10% benzoyl
peroxide in Persa-Gel, and put
the smallest amount directly onto the blemish,
and that’s all there is to
it. And one other point, anybody who has acne
or oily skin wants to make
sure that any products you buy to put on your
face are marked either water-
based or oil-free, whether they’re moisturizers,
sunscreens or anything
else. So, if you’re ready to beat your blemishes
and clear your complexion,
just use these three types of products twice
a day.
