Are there any topical acne
treatments you can use right now to improve and
control your acne? Well, let's begin by defining what
topical acne treatments are prior to naming the most
effective topical treatments for acne.
Topical acne treatments is a general name for all
prescription and over the counter products that are
applied on the skin, rather than taken orally. Topical
treatments for acne include all creams, gels, liquids,
lotions and powders.
The most commonly used but not necessarily the best
topical acne treatments include: Benzoyl Peroxide (that
has the ability to reduce acne symptoms by killing the
acne bacteria and helping unblock the sebum glands
pores.), Retinoids, which are an acne medication aimed
at treating blackheads and whiteheads by unblocking the
sebum gland's pores. Examples of Retnoids topical acne
treatments include: Tretinoin (Steiva-A®, Retin-A®, or
Avita® cream/gel, and Vitamin A Acid®) , Adapalene
(Differin® 0.1% cream or gel) , Tazortene (Tazorac® Gel
0.05%, 0.1%), topical Acne treatment antibiotics which
include: Clindamycin, Erythromycin, Sulfacetamide and
Azelaic acid that has powerful antibacterial and
anti-inflammatory properties.
There are also several combinations of topical acne
treatments such as: topical retinoid with erythromycin
(Stievamycin® by Stiefel) and topical benzoyl peroxide
acne treatment with erythromycin (Benzamycin® by
Dermik).
The Truth About Most Topical Acne
Treatments
After more than 7 years of research and after
experimenting with every known topical acne treatment
available on the market, I can honestly and confidently
say that there is no topical acne treatment that can
actually cure your acne. While, there are several
topical treatments that may significantly alleviate the
symptoms of acne, since acne is not an external problem
with your skin but an external manifestation of an deep
internal problem, topical treatments regardless off how
powerful they may be, only serve as band aids by masking
the symptoms.
The only way to overcome your acne challenge,
regardless of the type of acne you have or the level of
severity, is by fixing the internal cause of acne using
holistic all natural methods that tackle the root cause
of acne and not by applying topical acne
treatments.
