Ointment for closed comedones

Oily skin is prone to closed comedones, which cannot be eliminated by going to a beauty salon. The correct treatment method is to use drugs to dissolve acne in the pores. It is necessary to choose a suitable ointment to treat closed comedones. Ointments for treating closed comedones are not difficult to buy. When vitamins, antibiotics, and traditional Chinese medicine are used for treatment, the effect is very good.

Topical retinoids

This type of drug can promote the normal shedding of hair follicle epithelium, reduce acne, and inhibit the production of melanin. In addition, this type of drug can inhibit the activity of leukocyte chemotaxis, thereby achieving a good anti-inflammatory effect. Vitamin A drugs are a very strong inorganic acid that is highly irritating and will weaken the defensive capabilities of the stratum corneum barrier. They also have significant side effects, so they must be used strictly in accordance with the doctor's orders. It is not recommended to purchase and try on your own.

Benzoyl peroxide

Benzoyl peroxide drugs have good antibacterial effects, and the use of this type of drug can effectively dissolve acne, accelerate skin metabolism, and are very effective in treating inflammatory acne.

Antibiotics

This type of drug is less irritating to the skin, so it can be effective for mild inflammatory acne. However, after repeated contact with drugs, bacteria may develop drug-resistant bacteria, which will reduce the efficacy of antibiotics or even make them ineffective. Therefore, it is recommended to use antibiotics and benzoyl peroxide topically together to reduce the occurrence of drug resistance and achieve the effect of effectively treating closed comedones.

Honeysuckle: Honeysuckle contains luteolin, which can play an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory role, and can also allow the sebum in the skin to be discharged normally, thereby preventing the formation of closed comedones. Therefore, people with closed comedones can often drink honeysuckle tea.

Sophora flavescens: Sophora flavescens has the effects of clearing away heat and dampness, killing insects and acting as a diuretic. It can regulate the body from the inside, clear away heat and detoxify, thereby improving the problem of closed comedones.

In addition to honeysuckle and sophora flavescens, other traditional Chinese medicines commonly used to treat acne include dandelion, viola yedoensis, rehmannia glutinosa, wild yam, etc., all of which have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, inhibiting bacteria and reducing inflammation.
