If an instant acne cure was available, we'd all be acne free. Unfortunately, and fairly for all, there isn't an easy or simple answer.
Most will eventually discover an effective acne routine to help manage acne severity and flare-ups, but usually after spending some time trying out the many cleansers, astringents, medications and even cosmetic treatments out there. These regimens also take into account other practices that must be integrated into daily life.
For example, how does a man get the clean cut shave he needs for his professional job? He probably has tried out natural treatments and products especially made for sensitive skin so as to not further irritate shaved skin.
Furthermore, he probably has tested out both electric and blade razors to see which types get the type of shave needed without further irritating sensitive acne lesions. He most likely was advised or learned the hard way that he must take some prior steps to soften the beard before directly applying the razor to the skin.
A woman with acne considers different things. She buys make-up to help cover ugly pimples. She will also have to reminder herself to always carefully review product ingredients before buying something new. She learns that 'non-comedogenic' means the product will not clog pores. She must make the extra effort to remove make-up at the end of the day. An acne cleanser might not remove make-up entirely like a product specifically made to remove eye mascara or other thick types of make-up.
Even if it is oil-free, sleeping with remnants of make-up on one's face will create a perfect breeding grown for bacteria and cause a breakout. Additionally, she might have to tie her hair back more often than she'd like to prevent transporting pore-clogging hair products or sebum from one part of the head to another.
Teens will have even more different worries. During puberty, hormones are extremely active, causing growth of all forms. Unfortunately, one of these growths is the activity of the sebaceous glands, overproducing sebum which directly leads to acne formation. During these times, so much sebum is produced that it is released at a strength and suddenness that the hair follicles cannot withstand. Because these cells are injured, they become inflamed and create a breeding ground for bacteria, causing the teenage acne many of us are familiar with.
So a truly effective acne treatment for teenage acne should involve hormonal therapy in order to decrease the amount of sebum being produced. Most over the counter acne products only remove superficial sebum.
Finding the Right Acne System and Acne Treatment Cream
Overwheliming and exhausting, it might take time to finally find the right regimen and acne treatment cream. When purchasing and trying out different products, keep in mind that they be:
* Strong Enough
Unfortunately, over the counter products are not strong enough for moderate to severe acne hence why they are available without a prescription. On the other hand, prescription meds can be too strong and have some unwanted side effects, pushing many to look for products containing biological ingredients.
However, just because something claims efficacy, it doesn't mean it is, or that it will even work for you. Do a quick search for background studies that prove the effectiveness such ingredients.
* Safe Enough
Sure, you could go for the strongest solution out there, but dealing with the detrimental side effects aren't worth the trouble. Some of these damaging side effects are sun sensitivity (and premature aging), harm to skin structures and proteins, liver damage and even birth defects if one becomes pregnant while treating.
*Gentle Enough
The final factor is to consider is whether the product is gentle enough. Most acne treatments strip moisture from your skin and in addition can lead to allergic or other strong reactions. Generally, biological ingredients are best for sensitive skin to avoid your face turning an unsightly red. Also avoid treatments with abnormally high percentages of a particular ingredient. For example, products featuring benzoyl peroxide as the main ingredient should be between 1.5 to 3%.
Good luck testing.
