Where can I find these things for an acne remedy?
I need to know where to find the following things for an acne remedy:
-Witch hazel
-Salicylic Acid
-Benzoyl Peroxide (maybe in gel form)
Thanks!
Just about any drugstore, grocery store, or mass merchandise store (like Target).
You won’t be able to buy the pure components, but Benzoyl Peroxide is what’s used in most topical acne spot treatments and if they don’t use BP, they likely use Salicylic acid instead.

Witch Hazel is usually found around the Rubbing Alcohol and looks almost exactly the same, Salicylic Acid is found in a lot of acne creams and scrubs I think that is the only way you can buy it in a store and Benzoyl Peroxide can either be purchased in a acne medication as well or you can get a liquid bottle form (regular peroxide) although this will bleach your skin so I wouldn’t use a liquid.
I suggest trying Skin ID, I have had bad acne for at least 13 years and Skin ID actually worked for me.

Take Minocycline. Minocycline is an antibiotic which kills bacteria. Minocycline should be taken with caution, however, as it has been show to damage the thyroid gland, liver, and hair. It makes skin sensitive and lowers the body’s resistance to pathogens. If you do choose to take minocyline, make sure to get bloodwork every six months at the doctor’s office to monitor your health.
Get good nutrition. These top five nutrients have been shown to have a very positive effect on your skin and in treating acne. These nutrients, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin E, selenium and chromium, can pack a powerful punch in your acne war.
Zinc – Zinc is the Acne stopper. It works in several ways to both treat acne and prevent it. It helps the body regulate certain hormones which prevents acne, but it also helps with wound healing, tissue regeneration and boosting the body’s immune system.Most people in the United States actually have a marginal zinc deficiency, but you can get zinc from many of your favorite foods, such as seeds, nuts, legumes and whole grains.
Vitamin A – Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin that helps you have beautiful, healthy hair and skin. You can find vitamin A from fruits and vegetables. Dark green vegetables and deep yellow vegetables as fruits give you a good dose of vitamin A by providing carotenes. Oatmeal is a good source of vitamin A, as well as cantaloupe, honeydew melon, broccoli, spinach and sweet potato. Liver contains a megadosis: watch out, vitamin A is stored in the body and you can actually get vitamin A poisoning.
Vitamin E – Vitamin E helps to normalize decreased levels of antioxidant enzymes. This is often prevalent in male acne patients, but vitamin E has proven beneficial to both male and female acne sufferers. Almonds, sunflower seeds, peanut butter, spinach, broccoli and mango are all great sources of vitamin E.Even a snack as simple as ¼ to ½ cups of raw nuts and seeds can help your skin become clearer and healthier.
Selenium – Selenium works much like vitamin E in that it also helps to normalize decreased levels of antioxidant enzymes. Selenium can be found in foods such as vegetables, meats and bread. Some nuts, such as Brazil nuts and walnuts are also rich in selenium. You can also supplement your diet with selenium, taking 100 to 200 micrograms per day. However, 3 ½ ounces of beef has 35 micrograms of selenium and 3 ounces of tuna has 63. Brazil nuts, though, are the winner with 544 micrograms of selenium per ounce.
