Oxy Acne Products – the first treatment they often tell you
JOHN ALEXANDER L. NICOLAS
The medicine pharmacists and general stores will provide as first choice will be those from the OXY Corporation that provides a fast-effective acne treatment solution in high or low concentration.
Oxy is widely available in US, Europe and Asia with multiple product design but giving the same outcome; ‘fast-acting acne clear up’. The products are widely discussed on the Internet yet they have no official website except an Australian domain that focuses on the male Oxy products.
The basic products are the face cream or ‘spot removal’ but there are some alternatives in gel and body wash.
OXY-5 Acne Pimple Medication
This is stage 1 of taking acne medication under the Oxy name. Oxy 5 promotes the ability to ‘clear pimples fast’ and is proven by ‘clinical test’; your basic draw for acne products but seen in many stores for Asian and European / American users.
The cream uses spot treatment exercise to work deep within the skin to kill the P. Acne bacteria causing the breakouts. Benzoyl Peroxide is their promotional ingredient which has 5-percent strength (2.5 percent is the standard, hence the product name).
The high level also helps in drying the skin to clear up oily layers and unclogging pores. The cream is noted to clear up when put on the skin to ‘hide’ from onlookers.
However, the high promotion comes with varied opinions which exhibit ‘pain and irritation’. The doubled percent of Benzoyl Peroxide works well at the expense of some sensitivity.
Expect very mild redness and dried skin for a while the first time you use it and focus on the notable spots. A general face lotion can help with it but make sure your face is clean and dry before use.
OXY-10 Acne Pimple Medication
This is step 2 if 5 percent doesn’t cut it. As it implies, the 10 percent is only recommended for those with no success with Oxy-5 and don’t mind a little itchiness later.
Doctors will only prescribe solutions with 10 percent Benzoyl Peroxide if the breakouts still persists after more than a week. Oxy-10 is one of the few creams that are ‘over-the-counter’ available. It promotes the usual ‘fast-acting’ speech but it does not note that moisturizing is greatly needed when using Oxy-10.
Be wary of some redness if used on the face and neck (but your neck is normally sweaty during hot weather so no worries). Use the smallest amount as possible on spots until you are used to it.
Another similar product is Oxy-Cover which contains all ingredients of Oxy-10 with one difference: the cream is beige color so it ‘camouflages the reddened pimple’. On the inside, you’ll feel itchy, but on the outside, no one can tell the difference.
Oxy Facial and Body Bath Wash
This is a minor product to use in the shower to help in future acne problems and to clean your face with soap and water. The body wash uses only five percent but water-reacting chemicals help to directly go into the skin and kill the acne bacteria.
Medicated, or non-fragrant soap, is suggested when using Oxy twice a day and some result can be seen in a week or so.
Availability and Usage
Follow instructions on the bottle intently and use medicated moisturizing to keep skin from over-drying. If highly irritating, stop and try something else because there are others. Oxy is found in your basic general store and product designs vary depending on the country.

you and stay positive!
Welcome to my website! I know how much it sucks to have acne and after many years of research and trying almost every product on the market I figured out what works and what doesn't work. When I was a model it was vital for me to fix my skin to look perfect for photoshoots - the pressure to look good was huge. Now as a Beauty Editor I love helping people find solutions for themselves. Good luck on your quest for clear skin.
