Acne Ointment: Which is the Best? Recommendations for Pustules, Whiteheads, and Pigmentation

There are so many different types of acne ointments, and it can be confusing to know which one is right for your skin.

Millet, purulent, and pigmented Each one has a different ointment,
You can manage your condition much more effectively if you just know the products that are readily available at pharmacies.

The fact is that most of the ointments mentioned here can be purchased at pharmacies!!

 

 

1. Acne ointment, what types are there?

 

Acne ointments are divided into four functions: anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, exfoliating, and pigmentation relief.

 

• Anti-inflammatory: Relieves red, raised acne (e.g. Fatima Gel, Acne Cream)
• Antibacterial: Inhibits bacterial growth (e.g. Fair Acne Cream, Cleartin topical solution)
• Keratosis type: Relieves whiteheads (e.g., Clearin, Differin gel)
• Pigmented type: Scar/pigmentation relief (e.g. Noscarnagel, Dermatix Ultra)

 

👉 The key is to look at the current condition of your acne and choose accordingly.

 

 

 

2. Whiteheads What kind of ointment would be good?

 

For whiteheads, it melts the sebum inside the pores. Salicylic acid and adapalene series I like this.

✅'Cleatin Topical Solution' It is sold in many pharmacies and is also good for controlling sebum.

✅'Differin Gel 'It is a retinoid ingredient that is frequently prescribed in dermatology clinics and helps skin turnover and reduces clogged pores.

 

However, it may feel a little hot at first, so it's better to apply only a small amount in the evening. Haha

 

 

 

 

3. pustular acne What kind of ointment would be effective?

 

Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial ingredients are essential for pustular acne.

 

✅Fatima Gel : Relieves inflammation with benzoyl peroxide

✅Acnon Cream : Contains antibiotic ingredients for a quick soothing effect

✅Fair Acne Cream : Japanese pharmacy acne ointment, effective in relieving redness and inflammation

 

💡 Do not use antibiotic ointment for more than 2 weeks!

It is best to stop taking it immediately after symptoms have subsided, as tolerance may develop.

 

 

 

 

4. What to do after squeezing a pimple (for pigmentation and scar care)

 

After squeezing, pigmentation tends to remain.
At this time, it is a good idea to switch to an ointment for scar and pigmentation relief.

 

✅Northcarnagel : Formation of a scar protection film based on silicone

✅Dermatix Ultra : Promotes wound healing + reduces pigmentation

✅Meditouch Heel Care Cream : Helps regenerate and moisturize

 

These products are mild and easy to apply in a thin layer after washing your face.

 

 

 

 

5. Pharmacy Acne Ointment: Real Reviews💬

 

“ Fatima Gel “It works quickly but is drying. I only use it at night, so it was perfect.”

“ Fair Acne Cream “I bought it when I was traveling in Japan, and it definitely helped with my red acne.”

“ Northcarnagel “I applied it consistently and the pigmentation became lighter haha”

“ Clearine It’s effective on whiteheads, but if you apply it too often, it stings.

 

 

 

 

6. Precautions when using acne ointment

 

It is safer to apply it in the evening than in the morning.

Be sure to use UV protection before and after use!

 

 

If skin problems are severe or worsening, see a dermatologist first.

Do not mix with other ointments and test each one before use.
