My acne treatment history
(My acne treatment history) I started getting acne at 12 or 13 .(My acne treatment history) At the first sign of breakouts I began washing my face many times a day with a washcloth and Ivory soap . My skin reacted with probably what amounted to hundreds of tiny pimples, largely along the top of my forehead . I decided more was needed (My acne treatment history) . I kept scrubbing my face raw (My acne treatment history) , but added in Stridex 2 % salicylic acid pads . The salicylic acid did very little.I figured out that the constant scrubbing was getting me nowhere (My acne treatment history) , so I lessened it to 3 times a day . I continued with the 2 % salicylic acid acne treatment . My skin still did not improve much at all.After seeing a few commercials ( no , not Proactiv, Proactiv didn't even exist yet in those days ) , I decided to switch to Oxy10 brand 10 % benzoyl peroxide acne treatment (My acne treatment history) , and also decided to start washing just twice a day. To my surprise , my skin did improve on the Oxy10 and twice daily washing (My acne treatment history) . I was still using a washcloth and Ivory soap at this time (My acne treatment history) . I continued on this regimen for a couple of years but never had a day without at least a few zits (My acne treatment history) .
