Deep-Cleansing Prescription Acne Treatment: Target Oil, Clogged Pores & Bacteria

Deep-Cleansing Prescription Acne Treatment: Target Oil, Clogged Pores & Bacteria

Oily, clogged pores? This prescription-strength gel with salicylic acid, sulfacetamide sodium, and sulfur clears blackheads, reduces oil, and fights bacteria.

1 Big Thing

Struggling with oily, congested, or persistent breakouts? Draxace, a prescription-strength formula with Salicylic Acid (2%) and Sulfacetamide Sodium Monohydrate (8%), is designed to clear clogged pores, reduce oil production, and fight acne-causing bacteria—helping you achieve clearer, healthier skin.

Why It Matters

Many acne treatments only focus on surface-level breakouts, failing to address deep congestion, excess oil, and bacteria buildup. Draxace is different—it combines powerful keratolytic (exfoliating) and antibacterial agents to penetrate deep into pores, dissolve trapped debris, and eliminate acne at the source.

Between the Lines

If your acne is worsened by oil buildup, clogged pores, or recurring whiteheads and blackheads, this formula is designed to keep your skin clear and balanced.

Why Do Some Acne Treatments Stop Working?

Acne is more than just pimples—it’s a condition caused by multiple underlying factors:

  • Clogged Pores & Dead Skin Accumulation – Trapped skin cells block pores, leading to blackheads and whiteheads.
  • Excess Sebum (Oil) Production – Oily skin creates the perfect environment for acne bacteria to thrive.
  • Bacterial Overgrowth (C. acnes) – Bacteria trapped in blocked pores trigger inflammatory breakouts.
  • Inflammation & Sensitivity – The immune system overreacts, making acne red, swollen, and harder to heal.

👉 To fully control acne, treatment must exfoliate clogged pores, regulate oil, and fight bacteria—Draxace does all three.

How the Salicylic Acid + Sulfacetamide Sodium Formula Works

Draxace is a prescription-strength acne solution that deep cleans pores, reduces breakouts, and prevents future acne from forming.

Key Ingredients & Their Role

1. Salicylic Acid (2%) – The Pore-Unclogging Powerhouse

Salicylic Acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that:

  • Penetrates deep into pores, dissolving oil and dead skin buildup.
  • Clears blackheads and whiteheads, preventing new clogged pores.
  • Reduces inflammation, calming red, irritated breakouts.

👉 At 2%, this is the highest non-prescription strength, making it ideal for oily and acne-prone skin.

2. Sulfacetamide Sodium Monohydrate (8%) – The Bacteria-Fighting Antibiotic

Sulfacetamide Sodium is an antibacterial medication that:

  • Kills acne-causing bacteria, reducing the severity of breakouts.
  • Soothes inflammation, helping pimples heal faster.
  • Prevents new bacterial infections, keeping skin clear.

👉 This ingredient is commonly prescribed for acne that doesn’t respond to over-the-counter treatments.

3. Sulfur (2.8%) – The Oil-Absorbing & Acne-Soothing Mineral

Sulfur is a natural acne-fighting agent that:

  • Absorbs excess oil, preventing clogged pores.
  • Kills acne bacteria, working alongside Sulfacetamide for enhanced results.
  • Calms redness and irritation, making inflamed pimples less painful.

👉 Sulfur is highly effective for acne-prone, oily, and congested skin types.

Effectiveness & Considerations

  • Best for oily, congested, and breakout-prone skin, including blackheads, whiteheads, and mild inflammatory acne.
  • Targets excess oil and clogged pores, making it ideal for those with overactive sebaceous glands.
  • Requires consistency—visible improvements take time, but long-term use prevents recurring breakouts.
  • Common side effects: Mild dryness, temporary irritation, or a slight sulfur-like odor due to the active ingredients.

👉 Sulfur and Sulfacetamide have natural antimicrobial properties, making them great for long-term acne management.

Results Timeline

  • Week 1-2 – Oil production stabilizes, and skin feels cleaner.
  • Week 3-4 – Blackheads and whiteheads start to clear, and breakouts shrink.
  • Week 5-8 – Noticeable improvement in acne, smoother skin, and reduced congestion.
  • Beyond Week 8 – Long-term prevention of breakouts with consistent use.

👉 The longer you use it, the better the results—patience and consistency are key!

How to Use Draxace for Acne

For best results, follow these application guidelines:

  1. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin once or twice daily, as directed.
  2. Gently massage into affected areas, avoiding the eye and lip area.
  3. Follow with a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to maintain skin balance.
  4. Wear sunscreen daily (SPF 30+), as exfoliating ingredients can increase sun sensitivity.
  5. Stick with the treatment—regular use prevents new breakouts and keeps pores clear.

👉 Best for: Oily, acne-prone skin with frequent blackheads and whiteheads.
👉 Not for: Extremely dry or sensitive skin—consult a specialist before use.

Why Choose a Compounded Formula?

Unlike standard acne treatments, this custom-compounded prescription formula is:

  • Stronger than OTC options, combining powerful exfoliating, antibacterial, and oil-regulating ingredients.
  • Designed for acne-prone skin, treating clogged pores and oil buildup at the source.
  • Prescribed by medical professionals, ensuring safe and effective use.

👉 This treatment requires a prescription, which Well Revolution can provide.

What Are the Alternatives?

If you’re considering other acne treatments, options include:

  • Over-the-Counter Salicylic Acid Cleansers (0.5%-2%) – Useful for mild acne but not as strong as prescription-strength formulations.
  • Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%-10%) – Helps fight bacteria but does not exfoliate or unclog pores as effectively as Salicylic Acid.
  • Tretinoin (Retinoids)Works well for acne, but doesn’t directly target bacteria or excess oil production.
  • Oral Antibiotics (Doxycycline, Minocycline) – Can help with severe acne but may cause bacterial resistance.
  • Hormonal Acne Treatments (Spironolactone, Birth Control Pills) – Work for hormonal acne but require systemic use and medical supervision.
  • Isotretinoin (Accutane) – A last-resort option for severe, cystic acne, but requires strict medical monitoring.
  • Professional Treatments (Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasion) – Can improve skin texture but require multiple in-office treatments.

👉 For most cases of oily, congested, or mild to moderate inflammatory acne, a prescription-strength formula like Draxace provides one of the best topical treatment options.
