In an industry where marketing campaigns disorientate people more than answering their acne related concerns, we decided to jot down a quick checklist of the most utilized
solutions for getting rid of acne. Besides simply listing them we're taking it even further and uncover the pros and cons each method or product has in store.
1. Benzoyl Peroxide - Its affordable for everyone and works well in keeping under control light acne breakouts. It isn't the best option for aggressive acne and it doesn't
even eradicate mild acne. If results are not there after 1 week of using it, abandon the treatment.
2. Oral Antibiotics - Are not expensive, helps at reducing inflammation and preventing scars from occurring. Antibiotics are not efficient for chronic acne cases and
frequently are followed by gastrointestinal side effects. Even though can make alittle bit of difference short term, they're not recommended as a long term acne treatment.
3. Hormonal Medication - Costs are covered by insurance. Reported to be successful in treating reoccurring acne but results can't be scaled. Hormonal therapy comes with
long and short term side effects. Should you use it? Give it try for a month or two and assess the results. If damaged skin doesn't give signs of recuperation, don't prolong
the treatment.
4. Oral Isotretinoin, Accutane. Costs are covered by insurance. These are formidable weapons for getting rid of acne whether it's mild, moderate or aggressive. However
it's also a dangerous alternative to follow, with side effects ranging from emotional disorders to permanent skin sensitivity and flushing. Probably the biggest hazard users
are putting themselves in for is the initial purging phase that can inflict permanent scars which could have been avoided with other. To avoid unwanted complications
preliminary blood testing are required.
5. Laser treatment - performs well in reducing local inflammation. It's the most expensive solution but the price tag isn't reflected by long-term results. You may give
it a try if your physician promises definitive results and backs his claims with a money back guarantee.
6. Microdermabration and Acid peels - It gives a sense of immediate improvement by removing the blackheads and de-clogging skin pores. Still this method isn't effective
with aggressive acne nor does it provide long term results. Mild acne can aggravate if the intervention isn't performed by competent a aesthetician.
7. Dieting, supplements and detoxification. Improves general health but there is no direct correlation to healing acne inflicted skin. Relying only on holistic treatments
isn't viable. Specific and direct solutions to treating acne should be your priorities.
Even though we don't endorse neither of these specific products, we do recommend, as a general rule of thumb to go with natural and tested cosmetics. Today's cosmetic
industry provides tailored solutions for getting rid of acne, regardless of your skin particularities and infliction stage. The only requirement is to make your picking only
after you've consistently researched your options.
