Specialised Acne Care
Choosing the right acne treatment depends on your skin type and the type of lesions you are experiencing. A combined approach targeting both bacteria and clogged pores often yields the best results.
Topical vs. Oral Treatment
- Topical Gels: Often the first line of defense. Duac Gel and Differin are highly effective for mild to moderate cases.
- Oral Antibiotics: Recommended when acne is widespread or resistant to creams. Tetralysal is a common choice that reduces skin inflammation.
- Hormonal Control: For women, treatments like Cocyprindiol help by reducing the androgen hormones that stimulate oil production.
Managing Your Treatment
Consistency is key. Apply topical treatments to the entire affected area, not just individual spots. If you experience dryness or irritation, start by applying every other day until your skin adjusts.
