			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When making the decision to veer away from the prescription acne medication path into the over the counter realm, there are some important things to be aware of. First off, you need to keep your skin type in mind. There are many medications specified for dry skin or oily skin, and if you pick the wrong one, your acne will only get worse. Next, you should consider price. Don&#8217;t overspend on a product a friend refers you to. Do your own research, and make a sensible decision.</p>
<p>Products containing salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide are neutral in their effect on the skin so they generally work for all skin types. Try to find a system that has a cleanser, treatment, and a moisturizer. A 3-step system is always your best bet because it targets 3 different aspects of acne, making recovery 3 times more likely to occur.</p>
<p>Something else ot keep in mind about over the counter acne meds, is that scent, color, and brand usually have nothing to do with how good a product actually is. Rather, consider the consistency of the medication. Does it have beads? Is it meant to exfoliate? Is it smooth? The consistency of a medication can either work for your skin, or damage it, therefore always do a test run before you commit to any product.</p>
