Angela Angela Palmer Acne Expert Benzoyl Peroxide It's the most effective over-the-counter acne treatment there is, and it's found in prescription medications too.  Benzoyl peroxide is an acne treatment staple. READ NOW Share Topical Retinoids Topical retinoids (medications like Retin-A and Tazorac) not only help clear breakouts, but they also fight wrinkles and leave your skin feeling super smooth.  What's not to like about that? READ NOW Share Isotretinoin Surprised that this one made the list?  Isotretinoin (better known as Accutane) does come with some hefty side effects.  But for severe acne that isn't getting better with any other treatment, this medication is phenomenal. READ NOW Share How To Choose the Best Treatment for YOU OK, so this one isn't a specific treatment but I had to include it.  Because the best acne treatments are the ones that work for you, here's how you can find your top acne treatments.

Top 4 Worst Acne Treatments EVER

Someone forward you this email? No Sweat! Sign up here to get your own If you're having trouble viewing this email, click here Follow Us Top 4 Worst Acne Treatments EVER I've been in the skin care industry for a long while -- practicing, writing, teaching.  As such, I think I've heard just about every acne treatment around.  Some have been intriguing and sent me running to research them.  Others left me bewildered.  As in why the heck would you put that on your face?!? So, for this week's newsletter I decided to put together a list of some of my (favorite?) worst treatments ever.  Stay tuned because Friday I'm sending out a newsletter with the best acne treatments ever.  Make sure you check your inboxes! Angela Angela Palmer Acne Expert #4: Toothpaste Although this isn't nearly the worst thing you could put on your face, I've included it in my top worst acne treatments list because of how prevalent this one is.  While some people use it without a problem, for other people toothpaste can cause some major skin irritation.  And it won't keep you from breaking out. READ NOW Share #3: Windex Anything meant to clean grunge from your windows should never be put on the skin.  But you'd be amazed how many people ask me if this actually works on pimples.  Where did this idea come from? READ NOW Share #2: Garlic I literally cringe when I see this "remedy" suggested, oftentimes on reliable websites to boot.  Because I have seen what happens to skin when it's been smeared with crushed garlic -- the most horrendous case of contact dermatitis ever. READ NOW Share #1: Urine (AKA Pee) It doesn't matter if it's someone else's or your own, putting pee on your face is just plain gross.  Newsflash: urine isn't sterile.  READ NOW Share MORE FROM ABOUT.COM • 5 Superfoods to Shake Up Your Diet • Can You Get Rid of Those Saddlebags?
