Your quest for effective acne
treatments might turn into a futile one, if
you're focusing on tackling the wrong factors that
lead to acne formation. There are hundreds of
prescription acne medications, herbal home remedy
treatments, over the counters, cosmetic and surgical
procedures, supplements and special diets and most are
marketed as the best most effective acne treatments. So
how can you separate the wheat from the chaff? How can
the average person wisely select the most effective
treatment for acne among in a saturated over competitive
market, mostly based on foundations of dishonesty and
greed?
Arming yourself with the necessary knowledge about
the real cause of acne should be your first step in
finding the most effective acne treatment that fits your
needs. The cause of acne is not external. Acne is caused
by a deep internal problem that should be effectively
treated and fixed. By handling the external
manifestation of acne (pimples, blackheads, whiteheads,
cysts, and oily skin), you are only putting band-aids on
the problem and your acne will never be cured.
Many dermatologists and talented marketers endorse
either pharmaceutical or over the counter acne products
and though most carry the sign of the most effective
treatment for acne, the truth is of course very
different than that. Topical antibiotics kill all the
bacteria in your body including the probiotic bacteria
and in the long run make the p.acne bacteria more
resistant, thus worsening your acne condition and your
health. Chemical peels are in fact effective in treating
acne and acne scars, but these work only temporary and
only tackle the external symptoms of acne. Benzoil
peroxide can irritate and dry your skin and since it
simply kills the acne bacteria, it definitely does not
tackle the internal cause of acne.
Aromatherapy is an ancient treatment for acne. Tea
tree oil for example has ant fungal, antiseptic and
antiviral properties that help prevent acne outbreaks
and has been used effectively in aromatherapy to treat
acne. Tea tree oil can be also effective at treating
blemishes externally as a herbal remedy. Aloe Vera gel
(99% aloe vera) can be also effective treatment for acne
but only on the external level. Chamomile also has
antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties and if
applied externally can reduce many of the symptoms of
acne.
The same principal applies for all creams, gels and
cleansers out there such as Murad (a very famous and
supposedly an effective acne treatment that contains a
Clarifying cleanser that fights bacteria, an exfoliating
acne treatment to cleanse and exfoliates the pores of
your skin, and Hydrogen Peroxide that is supposed to
purify your skin without drying it) or Proactiv (an over
the counter containing a renewing cleanser, revitalizing
toner, and repairing lotion). All of these famous
treatments target the external symptoms of acne instead
of tackling the root cause. Cleansing, exfoliating and
killing acne bacteria is not an effective treatment for
acne.
Natural supplementation and vitamins can be effective
but only as part of a more complete plan to tackle acne.
The B5 acne treatment does not work and the theory that
claims acne is caused by a deficiency in vitamin b5
(pantothenic acid) is false. Moreover, taking large
doses of Vitamin B5 can be very dangerous and yield
serious side effects.
The famous drug Accutane can be very effective at
treating severe acne (in most case s in a very temporary
manner) but the side effects of Accutane can be very
serious.
If you're searching for effective acne treatments
you can always try the safer natural alternative and the
holistic approach. The most effective acne treatments
are first and foremost the ones that work by fixing the
internal cause of acne . The only way
you can achieve lasting freedom from acne is by applying
several all-natural protocols both internally and
externally that permanently neutralize the environment
that trigger acne formation. This is the most effective
choice for treating your acne.
