Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Patience
• Dedication

1. You need to realize that products with Oil, fragrance, salicylic acid or any other "active ingredient" can cause acne. What you need to look for are products that are Oil free and Fragrance free. Benzoyl Peroxide is perfect for the skin but only at 2.5%, not at any higher level.

2. The first thing you need to get is a gentle oil free, fragrance free cleanser. The less you have in your cleanser the more. Just wash your face with the cleanser at morning and at night before you do the rest of the treatment.

3. The second thing you need is a benzoyl peroxide treatment. ONLY get 2.5% treatment to smooth over your main problem areas. If you get higher than 2.5%, it will irritate your skin and cause more acne. When you smooth over your face, make sure and do it soft and lightly.

4. The final step is to get a moisturizer for your chin and neck area. Get a moisturizer that is oil free and fragrance free. Smooth it over your chin area and neck after doing the steps.

Tips & Warnings

• ONLY get Oil free and fragrance free
• Olay has great products
• Neutrogena has a great 2.5% benzoyl peroxide
• Only do steps twice a day
