Pimple ointment: types, recommended products and how to use

There are several types of ointments, with different assets that help in the treatment of pimples and are also effective against blackheads. Find out what pimple ointment is and which are the main products that help take care of your skin. Check the article!

Which is better: ointment, cream or gel?

According to dermatologist Dr Renata Marques (RQE 20486), “the products used to treat acne should be in a gel or serum consistency, as cream ointments are oily, which would worsen acne. Anti-acne products can work as antibacterial, anti-oil, anti-inflammatory, and keratolytic.”

“Topical treatment is indicated in mild cases of acne, when the patient has blackheads and some papules or pustules. In the most severe cases, systemic treatment with antibiotics and even oral retinoid is indicated”, he adds.

7 best ointments for pimples

We have selected the best ointments according to the opinion of bloggers who have tested the products. Check out!

Acnee Loss gel (Cifarma) – $

Acnee Loss ointment has bactericidal action that acts in the treatment of acne vulgaris. In addition, the product also treats blackheads, pimples and is ideal for those who have very oily skin.

“And didn’t the fag work overnight? On the packaging, it says that it can only be applied at night, due to some substances that can end up staining the skin if exposed to the sun (just like acids). The next morning, the first day of use, the redness of the pimples had subsided and they stopped hurting.” – Beatriz Tsukase

Acnezil gel (Cimed) – $$

Acnezil ointment is gel-based. It has anti-inflammatory action that treats inflamed pimples, helps in the treatment of blackheads and controls skin oil.

“It doesn’t have a scent, the ‘gel’ is thick, it’s actually a cream. It’s like this, the pimple was born, is it red? Put some on the area at night and the next day the pimple is no longer red and you notice it is drier. It’s very good!” – Ana Araujo

Action anti-acne cream (Minancora) – $$

Minancora Action ointment has assets that reduce skin oil and help fight bacteria responsible for the development of pimples and blackheads.

“I loved! I think it does the job very well and, unlike other products of its kind (which I used in my infamous adolescence), contact with the skin does not burn, itch, hurt or bother. I haven’t tried it on blackheads, but I suppose the action is the same and even faster.” – Acute fashionitis

Acnase cream (Biolab) – $$

This ointment is indicated for normal to dry skin and acts in the topical treatment of acne vulgaris. It has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and bactericidal action, which helps in the improvement of carnations and pimples.

“I found that the ointment helped a lot to dry the pimples and I felt more effective than the old formula. Anyway, it took me about 15 days to control the outbreak, applying it every night, and my skin was very dry at the end of the process.” – Bia Munstein

Dermotivin Benzac gel (Galderma) – $$$

Dermotivin Benzac gel ointment promises to eliminate 90% of acne-causing bacteria. In addition, it controls the oiliness of the skin without leaving it dry, thanks to glycerin, a component with moisturizing characteristics.

“I have a lot of pimples around PMS, the big, inflamed ones that pop up in the middle of the forehead or cheek. I noticed that the Benzac made the pimple wither and clear up the next day, which made me very satisfied.” – Chic zipper

Azelan gel (Bayer) – $$$$

This ointment has azelaic acid in its formulation, an effective substance in the treatment of acne and that helps in the lightening of stains. In addition, its use is not contraindicated during pregnancy.

“For now, I’m enjoying the result. Smaller pimples go away very quickly: after a day or two of use, they dry up and disappear. The most robust ones take a little longer to disappear: about four days. But even with this longer period for the face to be smooth, texture and appearance have already improved a lot, which makes me very happy.” – Letícia Homsi

Epiduo gel (Galderma) – $$$$$

The ointment is formulated with adapalene, a component with effective anti-inflammatory activity in the treatment of inflammatory lesions of blackheads and pimples. With about 1 to 4 weeks of treatment, it is possible to notice the first signs of improvement.

“The acne marks are smoother, which makes the skin look more even. Nose blackheads have significantly reduced, pores are tighter and skin looks smoother. It ended existing pimples and, during the time of use, has controlled the emergence of new ones, including in the critical period, which is before menstruation.” – Ju Lopes
