I have tried every OTC product you can think of and very expensive products too. I have been to the dermatologist so I had some cream left over from a past visit and that was not the answer either. Regular acne and cystic acne can not be treated the same.
Nothing was working, my face was getting worse. I did some digging and I came across a blog where the lady tried oil scrubbing with grapeseed oil and it did calm down the redness and the pain, but as you can imagine I had even more come to surface. I am not saying it doesn't work. I read it will get worse before it gets better. But I wanted it better now!!
So I wanted to share what I found that actually has worked for ME.
Sulfur soap. It contains 5% sulfur. Mind you this is very drying you will peel and your skin will turn red. My suggestion is to only use it on the affected area. The cost is minimal $2.67 at Wal-mart.
The second product is called Liquidmat acne lotion. The cost is $21.82 for 1.5 fluid ounces at Wal-mart online. This covers up while you are healing it also has sulfur in it 4% to be exact. This is nice it can be worn under your regular foundation. It comes with color matcher and with that, you technically could wear it all over but once again I suggest just the affected areas.
Within a week of using this soap 2x a day and the coverup, my skin looks 100X better then it did a few weeks ago. My face is peeling and I do not even care. I am no longer in pain.
