Can a Salicylic Acid acne treatment loose its strength?

duwoppers06 asked:


I’ve been using the clean & clear advantage acne spot treatment for about 2 years now, and ive never purchased a new tube. Recently it seems as if, instead of clearing up my occasional breakouts, it’s making them worse! I’m wondering if this could be happening because the tube is worn out and the salicylic acid has lost its ‘acidity’.

What acne treatment is the best and actually works?

Sam asked:


I’ve used Clearasil in the past and that work ok for me in treating acne, but not really in maintaining it. I began using Proactive about a month ago, and believe it or not, it doesn’t seem to help, if anything, the severity of my acne was worsened, so I need a new solution, please help in anyway. I’m not willing to pay big bucks for over the counter treatments or dermatologist(I’m a poor college student). So please leave any tips, thanks

What acne treatment or cream is most effective?

Sweet S asked:


I use this Neutrogena orange acne spot treatment gel, and I think it has gotten used to my skin and stopped working. I just got some more pimples and I want them gone, fast!
