Acne Tips from the Drs.

Today, on the TV show The Drs, one of the physicians recommended salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide for treating acne. 916 Acne, Skin & Wellness Studio is an Acne Clinic in Northern California. At 916, we prefer to do serum testing on all of our patients prior to making recommendations as some individuals have sensitivities to certain acne products. The type of serum you use to treat your acne not only depends on your sensitivity level, but on your skin type and acne type. Some people cannot tolerate salicylic acid, even at lower concentrations, and do better on a mandelic, or ironically a glycolic. Benzoyl peroxide has proven extremely beneficial for many individuals, but because of its tendency to overly dry and irritate the skin, there is a two week progression when beginning this product, that increases its efficacy and decreases acne flare ups.

To schedule an acne consultation, or to learn more about our Acne Program in Chico, California please call the acne clinic at 530.680.2027.
