 | Dr. Katie Rodan | August 23, 2010 at 6:54 pm |
I, Katie Rodan, the creator of the best-selling acne system in the world, have acne. It started when I was a teenager and although it has gotten much better in my adult years, it is still something I have to deal with every day.
You might be surprised to hear this, because on most days my skin is clear and blemish-free. But those results are only achieved through a daily, full-face routine to stop the acne process in its tracks.
On those rare instances when I do have a pimple, here’s my emergency pimple fix:
Step 1: I apply an ice pack to the pimple for ten to fifteen minutes to reduce redness and swelling around the breakout.
Step 2: I clean the area with a sulfur-based wash and apply a treatment lotion containing sulfur as well, which can be purchased without a prescription. This keeps my pores freer and cleaner.
Step 3: I follow with benzoyl peroxide to keep the pores clear.
Step 4: Finally, I apply a thin layer of mineral peptides to hide the blemish and help calm the inflammation.
If a pimple resurfaces at a really inopportune time, like before a big event or TV appearance, I’ll even have my medical associate give me a cortisone shot to clear up the pimple in less than 24 hours.
To really keep acne in check, there’s no substitution for a full-face, daily medicated skincare routine. But this emergency pimple fix is great for helping in a pinch.
By Trisha Kersting,
Last year when UNBLEMISH Oil Control Lotion SPF 20 was introduced at convention, it was love at first use. Every morning I use a little dab of the UNBLEMISH Oil Control Lotion on my T-zone before applying my ENHANCEMENTS Mineral Peptides. Not only does it reduce the oil in my skin, I am also protecting myself from harmful UV rays. I keep an extra Oil Control lotion in my purse so I can reapply before heading outside at lunch to give my face full protection from the sun. I am off the face powder for the first time since I was a teenager and my skin has never looked better.
“On” the mobile...
A moving violation is not the only thing you will get if you are talking on your cell phone while driving. Constant pressure and perspiration from having your mobile phone to your face may indeed contribute to the inflammation that ultimately leads to breakouts. Go hands free; it is safer AND better for your skin!

For more than 40 years, dermatologists have considered benzoyl peroxide (BPO) to be the gold standard for acne treatment and prevention. When it comes to attacking acne, benzoyl peroxide works on several fronts. Its primary function is in killing P. acnes bacteria. It also acts as a “keratolytic” agent, helping to remove the dead cells that clog pores. And finally, it is mildly anti-inflammatory. Now you know why we think it is worth its weight in gold! In fact, a large scale clinical study published in The Lancet demonstrated that BPO is more effective than oral antibiotics, like tetracycline and minocycline, in treating acne without the risk of bacterial resistance.
Benzoyl peroxide is a key ingredient in Rodan + Fields® UNBLEMISH Dual Intensive Acne Treatment. With a dual-chamber deliver system, this formula ensures optimized BPO delivery and acne-fighting benefits.
Sulfur clears pores by shedding dead skin cells and helps to heal preexisting comedones (blackheads and whiteheads). It also provides an immediate benefit by reducing acne’s tell-tale redness and swelling. This remarkable OTC medicine has been used to treat acne for over a thousand years, yet is sometimes avoided due to its odor. Thankfully, advanced processing and new purification technologies can now produce much lower odor sulfur materials for skincare products, and what little odor still remains can be easily masked, so there is no longer any reason not to take advantage of this highly effective acne-treating ingredient.

Visit FacesbyTrish go to Our Products, then to Get Advice for your personal Rx for healthy skin!Retinol is a type of Vitamin A, which is very beneficial to humans. It is a fat-soluble antioxidant vitamin. It is considered to be essential for proper vision and bone growth. Another helpful property of Retinol is that it is very successful when used as a treatment for acne and skin ailments.
Vitamin A Benefits
Vitamin A is found mainly in foods, which are derived from animal sources like beef, calf and chicken. It is also found in dairy products like milk, butter and cheese. The body converts beta-carotene, found in fruits and vegetables, into Vitamin A. Green vegetables and orange fruits contain beta-carotene and increase the supply of Vitamin A in your body. Vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes and cabbages, as well as fruits like mangoes are good sources of beta-carotene.
Research
The University of Michigan conducted extensive research on Retinol. Studies found that the efficacy of Retinol was because of skin receptors for retinoic acid. These receptors are known as Retinoic Acid Receptors and are found on the outer membrane of cells. Retinoic acid was found to aid the reproduction of cells and also helped in proper functioning of cells. Though Retinol is widely used for the treatment of acne, it is also used to combat skin damaged due to the sun.
Retinol is available in cream form. It modifies the abnormal formation on the superficial layer of the skin (keratinization) near hair follicles. Large pimples with pus fill the hair follicles along with an increase in the superficial skin cells. Retinol detaches the excess cells thereby clearing the way for the shedding of these excessive cells from the base of the follicles. Once these cells are emptied, there is a reduction in the formation of comedones (pus filled pimples).
Regular application of Retinol will make the skin smooth and soft. pores on the skin will be less visible. Aging signs due to wrinkles in the skin will decrease. Retinol also stimulates collagen production. Read more about a line of products that uses this ingredient to accellerate your skin's healing: Click HERE!
Retinol Side Effects
Application of Retinol has some side effects, which need to be taken into account. With Retinol, the skin getting warm or red in color or a mild sting may occur. These are normal and should go away once the skin adjusts to the medication. However, if the symptoms persist or if they keep bothering you, a visit to the dermatologist is advised.
Application of Retinol may increase sensitivity to the sun's rays and hence staying indoors is advised after applying Retinol on your skin. Some people may feel itchiness on the applied area and the skin may experience some scaling. If these symptoms are severe, the dermatologist should be visited immediately. Excessive application of Retinol might sometimes cause itching and scaling.
It is advisable to wear proper sunscreen and clothing which protects your skin. Retinol should be used during pregnancy only by the advice of a dermatologist. Always use mild soap when washing your face. Retinol has been found to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, tone and color. Retinol, in short, rejuvenates the skin totally.
Other Treatments
Other more common treatments include the use of Benzoyl Peroxide, whose properties make it extremely useful in the treatment of mild to moderate acne. The anti-inflammatory properties will reduce swelling in infected papules and pustules, allowing a relief from the soreness that often accompanies acne outbreaks. The oxidizing factor dries out the thickened sebum or fluid within the acne and helps to alleviate the plugged pores, so that acne may heal without trauma to the area caused by popping the acne. To be most effective, one should use a Benzoyl Peroxide exfoliator. To read more about this particular form of treatment, click HERE!.
