katialis ointment for acne

Acne had always been troubling me and so I had been trying new products just to check if any of them helped me in controlling acne. Few months back a friend recommended using katialis ointment as it contained antibacterial properties and stopped the growth thereby checking acne. 

Being pretty cheap a brought home a tube of katialis ointment and started using it but even after 2 weeks of using the product I didn’t find any significant chance on my skin. Actually the acne had gone from bad to worse and I was a little more perturbed. I tried it for a week more and when it didn’t have any positive effect on my acne, I simply dumped the product in the bin and used a normal cream which should much better result than katialis ointment. 

So, katialis ointment, in my opinion is a waste of money and should be avoided, all the claims of the product working on acne or treating acne is false and personally it is just a waste of money. Yes, it is cheap but what’s the use when it doesn’t fight acne or have any positive effect on the skin problems.

I have also used katialis soap and didn’t find it anything better, it has that pungent smell which is just so annoying early in the morning and like it’s ointment it also doesn’t have any positive result on the skin problems so it is a waste of money as well.

Fucicort antibiotic cream for acne

Fucicort antibiotic cream for acne

Acne problems have always been pestering me and every now and then I developed these painful swelling or inflammation on my face. Besides being painful acne spoiled the look of the face and thus it was simply getting very annoying. I had visited plenty of skin specialists but none of the prescription seems to work until I hit Fucicort Topical cream.

A local pharmacist recommended using the cream for clearing acne and as it was easily available over the counter I honestly thought of trying it and check its result. For the first week since I started using Fucicort cream I didn’t find much of a difference and was a little dejected as I thought it was just another cream but since I had already bought it and thought of using it continuously for another week or so.

After the second week I started seeing some kind of positive results on the acne. Actually I had plenty of acne on my face but after about two weeks of using Fucicort antibiotic cream, it was reduced to more than half and the best part was that it didn’t leave any scar. I had the habit of bursting open the acne but during the period of using Fucicort cream I tried and succeeded in staying away from touching the acne and thereby when the cream finally showing effect I had a pretty clear skin, free of all acne or acne scars.

Not just did it get rid of acne but also reduced the visibility of the acne scars existing on my skin. It surely was a great relief and since then I have been using Fucicort antibiotic cream for treating acne whenever it reappears. Besides using a good antibiotic for acne, one more thing I have learned is the benefit of drinking plenty of water in treating acne. 

P.S- I am not a doctor or a medical student and am just sharing a personal experience to help all those tormented by acne.
