Isn’t it ironical that the worst battles of beauty are fought when we are supposed to be glowing and beaming with the onset of adulthood? Or that our memories of youth or teenage are etched on the face instead of the mind? Yes, acne attack has done some absolute wonders. Basic care needs to begin as soon as one reaches ten years of age. Hygiene check points such as washing the face every day with water and/or mild face wash go a long way in delaying the acne attack. Apart from washing the face regularly, it is important to curb fast food intake for sure. Undigested oil and fat prevents the enzymes from maintaining the smooth functioning. Before we talk about the best drugs and topical medicinal creams to prevent acne, lets talk about pimples in detail and why they happen.
Hormones are great. They shape our personalities and define our thoughts. However, excessive hormonal secretion either leads to behavioral disorders or pimples & acne. There are a lot of remedies available around, and I am going to list down the best of those for your benefit. A lot of remedies are available in the kitchen; however you need to be extremely patient while get into a kitchen based treatment. In case these treatments do not work as expected then consult a Doctor or a Gynecologist for a suitable treatment.
Acne happen during teenage and continue till mid-thirties in a lot of cases. This sudden sprout of acne is not related any specific gender or race. Most of the people suffer Acne attack in some or the other form. People with oily skin are more prone to acne attack because of excessive oil secretion.
The perfect way of treating acne is applying an ointment on the face, known as the topical treatment and consuming medicines simultaneously.
The kind of options you utilize depends upon the kind of ailment. If there is no open pore, and the skin contains only red bumps minus open pores, then only creams will suffice. However, in case the pores are open along with considerable presence of acne, then application of cream or ointment coupled with medicines and tablets will offer the best solution.

Let me also talk about the top ten creams available in the market for acne treatment:

The application of this cream eventually leads to the formation of a mouth or an outlet of the acne, which eventually leads to the smooth death or passing away of the acne. This cream also reduces the formation of scars by restoring Collagen.

The cream, whose advertisement is a part of my childhood, never fails. It feels like lubricated turmeric and does not give immediate results. The results last forever though.

INR 190 for 60g
I have tried to include best topical medications and ingredients available in the market which will help you in getting rid of pimples and acne. Thank science for various combinations of salts and thank nature for fantastic herbs which take care of our problems so effectively.
A lot of external factors like stress, pollution and sinful eating and binging take a toll on our looks and appearance. Our body is also a machine. What we eat eventually shows up. I have been through this troublesome phase as well; one thing which I did for sure was curb my junk food intake.
It is recommended to start with herbal treatments before jumping onto drugs and medication. Herbal remedies take a lot of time, but their final outcome is fantastic. If you lack patience, choose a mild medication cream before trying a concentrated product. And yes, just pray that you do not have to encounter pimples and acne ever. Blessed are the souls who have a simple sailing during the troublesome hormonal handover!!

This is a great list for people who suffer with frequent breakouts! I haven't tried any spot treatment for acne, except for a gel from a Japanese pharmaceutical brand. :)
:-)Yea, WHEN YOU USE IT IRRESPECTIVE OF THE BREAKOUTS.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful posts 👍. You are doing great work! I just want to share my success story. I’ve been using Retin-A (Tretinoin). Very happy 😊 I found ‘QACNE365’ in google and got retin-a ❤️. It is hands down the most effective anti-acne, anti-aging, anti-whatever skin flaw you may have. It is the only thing that has actually helped with my acne.
Hey Dipti, can you share the name?
Vicco turmeric, it works like magic on skin. Gonna get it now, this article reminded me of it :)

Vicco turmeric does it actually work?

As someone with acne prone skin...Vicco turmeric never worked on me. :/ But I have tried Retino-A! it is very effective but there are many side effects! I wouldn't recommend anyone to try out without having a Doctor's prescription. I have tried a few other creams too from the list...they only work in the beginning few weeks. Thus my battle with acne still continues! :D
I have also suffered from acne, but I never even use any treatment on the list above, I always treating my pimples in a simple way like home remedies. But, there's an urge in me to use any product above.
I am facing this problem since last 2 years..........Can you suggest me one thing if i have sensitive skin does this product work for me?Looking forward to get a reply soon.
Himalaya Herbals Acne n’ Pimple Cream is a magical cream and it work superb for me. Thanks
This is really nice and informative blog. I love this and the tips are really amazing. Thanks for sharing this blog.
I use clindac-A and that works when treated in the beginning.
