Finding the Best Acne Treatment Options

A Google search of the internet looking for “acne remedy” will give you thousands of pages with possible results. In addition, one of the pages may have hundreds of suggestions for a cure. Some of the remedies seem very strange but others may actually work.

One suggestion is to massage in oily coconut milk nightly before bedtime. Another suggestion is to use soy sauce on your acne.

Some of the natural cures for acne sound like a mixture used to keep vampires away as you sleep with a garlic paste covering your face. Others seem more appropriate for cooking a gourmet meal. In fact many different herbs and spices are suggested as an acne remedy.

Products containing benzyl peroxide have been shown to be effective at preventing acne and drying up active outbreaks. It is important to dry up the active patches as soon as possible and before they grow larger in order to avoid scarring on the face, neck, chest or back.

Benzyl peroxide is not recommended for adults with acne as it can strip vital oils from the skin and cause premature aging. Adults will find salicylic acid containing products to be effective and not as harsh as the benzyl peroxide products.

A new approach to acne is to use an acne light. The light has led lights in both red and blue colors. The patient sits about six inches away from the light for about half an hour per day. The blue light helps to kill the bacteria that inflame the pores and are associated with acne. The red light is to speed healing of inflamed skin. It takes about eight weeks of daily use to see the effects of this product.

Many people find that the over the counter products are all that are needed to take care of an acne problem. If you are not having success with these products, see your doctor or ask for a referral to a dermatologist. He can offer more advice to prevent outbreaks as well as prevent scarring.
