Oxy acne medication products are one of the most popular products in the market that help in reducing acne. They are readily available in the drugstore and heavily advertised too. The oxy acne treatment is available in gel and cream form. It is applied directly to the affected area and it tries to dry up the source of the acne and kill the bacteria. It also replenishes the skin with healing agents so that the affected area heals quickly. So far so good, but does it really work? Let us find it out in detail.
The
Oxy acne medicine actually dries up the acne and
a few days later the dry flakes just drift away. The
reality is the time it takes – if the acne is left
untouched it would take the same time to wither away.
The medicine does actually affect the acne bacteria, but
it does not kill it. In fact, it only suppresses the
bacteria for a short time span and then it comes back in
a big way. And thus it leads to more
acne.
Secondly,
when the acne dries up and starts flaking away, it ends
up blocking the nearby pores and hence leads to more
acne in the process. Thus you can see the medicine
instead of actually helping in reducing acne increases
them in the long run.
There
are various side effects as well that come hand in hand
with using various Oxy acne medications. A few of the
side effects are:
a)
While
using these products you have to avoid exposure to sun
rays as the skin becomes over
sensitive.
b)
The
skin becomes dry and might cause slight
irritation.
c)
While
using these medications you might notice slight redness,
a burning sensation and even a little swelling. It
generally subsides after some
time.
d)
Make
sure it does not come anywhere near your eyes, lips or
mouth.
e)
It
might cause a bleaching effect on
hair.
You
should never use it if you are allergic to benzoyl
peroxide. So do you want to use something that doesn't
cure your acne completely and what's more, comes loaded
with so many side effects?
This
form of treatment only attempts to cure the symptoms
without really finding out the causes which can be many
such as an excess of toxins, high production of sebum
and also factors such as stress.
A
local application of Oxy acne treatment or any
cream or gel cannot solve the actual root cause of acne.
In order to solve your acne completely, you should opt
for the holistic approach. The holistic approach unlike
the conventional treatments, addresses not the symptoms
but the root causes of the problem, and once these
causes are identified and treated, the acne naturally
goes away for good. By helping you adopt a healthy
lifestyle comprising of healthy diet, healthy mind-set,
detoxification and the right hormonal balance, the
holistic approach will cure not only your existing acne,
but also cure your old blemishes and also prevent the
acne from recurring again.
