• Gentle face wash: A gentle face wash will help prepare your skin for benzoyl peroxide. Removing surface oils allows the benzoyl peroxide to penetrate more easily. Washing very gently helps avoid irritation. While scientists and doctors do not know exactly what causes acne, we do know that irritation alone can make it worse.
• Plenty of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide: Benzoyl peroxide oxygenates skin. Acne bacteria cannot live in oxygenated environments. Benzoyl peroxide is also a mild drying and peeling agent which is thought to help keep pores from clogging. On the Regimen you’ll be using 2.5% benzoyl peroxide because clinical studies have shown it is just as effective as 5% and 10% but much less irritating. Remember, irritation alone can aggravate acne. I found that using lots of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide is incredibly effective. Why apply so much? Nobody knows for sure why this works so amazingly well but myself and thousands of others have had great success using this method. My theory is that applying more simply allows it to penetrate more deeply into the skin.
• Good moisturizer: Because you’ll be using lots of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, your skin will most likely be dry and a little flaky. Applying a good moisturizer will help keep your skin in balance and allow you to go out into public with non-flaky, normal looking skin.

Neutrogena Make-Up Remover Towelettes (Night Calming)

Neutrogena came up with a great solution to “take the day off your face”.  It’s very easy to use, smells great (very calming and fresh sent) and does not cause irritation or acne.  You can even remove waterproof mascara and dark eye shadow without causing any redness.  One or two towels are enough for one time use depending on how heavy your make-up is.  

This product is a good solution for women that have sensitive and dry skin.  Using water two or three times a day on your face can leave it dry, flaky and lifeless, but with Neutrogena towels that wouldn’t be a problem.   This product would also work if you have oily, acne skin.  It is gentle enough not to cause additional irritation and strong enough to remove all the excess make-up.  If you have acne prone skin, you have to be especially careful not to go to bed with make-up on.  That’s a NO-NO! You’re clogging your pores and not allowing them to breathe.  Even if you’re very tired, make-up removing towels are a fast and painless solution.
