Question 1

can using neem soap help for acne?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Does it have benzoyl peroxide?  Sulfur?  Salicylic acid?

Question 2

can dial antibacterial soap help acne?

Accepted Answer

Basically no: Acne is a non-hygiene-related disease, and the bacteria that cause it are deep and won't be touched by bathing soap. If topical benzoyl peroxide hasn't helped your acne after two weeks, get with your personal physician. It's a serious, chronic disease that's often a grave personal and professional liability. Do what you have to.

Question 3

does jergens mild soap help clear up acne ?

Accepted Answer

Soap: Jergens soap, and many soaps for that matter, can help keep the skin clean, and may help clear up acne as well.  But, Jergens soap is not a cure all for acne however.  Acne can be tough to treat and a good soap is often just one step in a multi-factorial approach to the best treatment plan.

Question 4

do you think i should start using regular soap for my acne?

Accepted Answer

Acne products: Gentle, non-soap cleansers are usually preferred for acne.  Because many acne products can be drying and soaps can also dry your skin, gentle cleansers--specifically made for the face--are best.

Question 5

are there any prescribed acne body soap or washes available?  what are they?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Most of the prescribed washes contain Benzoyl Peroxide as their main ingredient.  It's the same thing as you can get over the counter... just stronger.  Hope this helps!

Question 6

i've heard soap bars don't help with acne, but what if it's a bar that is specially formulated for acne?

Accepted Answer

It: If it has benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid it will help some.

Question 7

could sulphur soap make acne worse?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It's a poor choice for acne control. Try salicylic acid as a wash, topical benzoyl peroxide, and/or a retinoic acid derivative. If you use these as you can tolerate and they don't clear you, get with your personal physician.

Question 8

please suggest any best soap used for acne marks?

Accepted Answer

ACNE SCARS: You can use any antibacterial soap. The scars will later disappear after using Retin-A or perzagel 5or 10 percent.

Question 9

i have an acne problem. what kind of soap would you advise me to dry my skin?

Accepted Answer

Acne washes/soaps: I'm guessing you're from Germany although I'm not sure why your location is "Vereinigte Staaten". Here in the States, there are many over-the-counter acne washes &amp; soaps, none of which are proven better than the rest, which is why they all vie for marketshare. You'll need to try individual ones out on yourself. Given your age, discuss your concerns w/your Family Doc as you may have rosacea.

Question 10

i tried everything but i don't know what to do for acne. can a soap or a lotion help me with this?

Accepted Answer

Tried everthing?: Soaps and lotions won't help, but if this is actually acne, scientific rx will make it vanish. If topical benzoyl peroxide hasn't cleared you in two weeks, your physician will add prescription-strength rx until something does. Remember it's manageable but not curable.
