Sulfur based acne products and adult acne care for sensitive skin

Products that your dermatologist or doctor will recommend will only be available on prescription, they may include a course of antibiotics or topical ointments. Your dermatologist may suggest a minor surgical procedure to remove the contents of pustules. Never try to squeeze your zits as it can lead to permanent damage of your skin.
Get plenty of sleep! The recommended amount is eight hours a day and I know for most of us, that's just not possible, however, studies have shown that a full night of sleep can improve your skin. Your body's immune system is working while you sleep and fighting off bacteria and infections. Whether you sleep during the day or sleep at night, it is beneficial to your complexion.
The best and most effective way to treat adult acne is to start with a visit to the dermatologist. Your dermatologist will help you clear your skin up by using treatments that are not available to you at home or over the counter. These include prescription oral and topical medications that will help such as retinoids, antibiotics (don't overuse antibiotics), azelaic acid and even birth control pills, which can sometime help and other times be counter-productive. Laser treatments are also an option at your dermatologist's office. For very severe adult acne, your doctor may prescribe Accutane, which is very effective, but will produce birth defects in unborn babies, so it must not by used by pregnant women.
