There are many acne treatment products designed to clear up acne pimples that simply don’t work. The most popular products on the market today are the famous benzoyl peroxide based acne cream.
These creams are designed for acne prone skin care and aim to eliminate the bacteria which causes it. In theory, without bacteria, acne would not form. The active ingredient in most creams for pimples is benzoyl peroxide, which has been proven to kill p. acne vulgaris but is also very damaging to the skin.
Benzoyl peroxide dries up the skin, pharmaceutical companies have combined benzoyl peroxide with moisturizing agents to neutralize this effect.

Although many acne scar treatment sites will say that you must completely clear your skin before you being treating your scars, you will be happy to know that this is not necessary. Scars naturally fade over time, so even if you simply ignore them, they’ll gradually go away.
If it’s a severe scar, it can form a permanent mark or pit, if you have any acne scar pits, then you might eventually want to look into professional scar treatments.

There are many acne herbal remedies, and as the name implies, they revolve around using herbs to cure acne. The herbs, almost in all cases, induce a cleansing reaction of your body. This cleansing of your body helps you to cope with the acne itself, by strengthening your immune system and therefore its ability to deal with bacteria and inflammation.
I see many people using topical acne products for acne left and right. In fact, I’m sure acne cream products are the #1 thing sold to fight acne. Its such a huge money maker, $60 for a bottle of a ‘revolutionary acne product’ that will forever cure your acne ? Yeah, I’ve seen those ads too. Endorsed by Britney too ? Nice, I’ll take 2.
Of course, people will soon realize that these topical creams do nothing against acne. Have you ever put cream on a pimple and have it magically disappear the next day? Of course not. What usually ends up happening is that the skin dries up in a massive & unhealthy way. Then the pimple ‘dies’ an ugly death, only to be avenged by 2-3 other pimples on the other side of your face. If anything, it seems that all the acne products and creams actually TRIGGER breakouts. Let’s be honest, your skin doesn’t like the creams, in fact, it gets irritated. When it gets irritated, you get more acne.

The first thought I had when I had crazy breakouts was: what causes acne ? Now I’m not saying that it was eating something specific that caused me to have acne (because then, wouldn’t every one who ate those foods have acne?), but I have noticed that there are certain causes for sudden acne breakouts.
So what did I do ? I set out to search what could possibly trigger my acne and I made a list of all the items I suspected worsened my acne.

One of the questions I have recently answered asked: What causes of acne? I looked at some trends I’ve noticed over the years is that there are various different acne causes… the environment, stress, things we ingest and so on. Some of these triggers will produce acne at different times of the day, at different places, such as the thighs or the face, giving you clues as to what is the source.
Now, pimples usually take a day or so to fully appear, but for this article, we’ll concentrate on the first moment you notice you have a pimple ‘growing’ on your face.

I was recently thinking about fruits for acne because of what a doctor said. While I was viciously searching for a cure for my acne, a Chinese doctor told me: “Eat one orange every morning, and you’ll clear up”. You know what? He was on to something. Whenever I eat an orange or an apple in the morning, I am guaranteed a good bowel movement later on in the day.

There are some herbs for acne that are really fun to use, they are like nitrous in the sense that you can only use them for so long before they are ineffective. What I mean is that acne and herbs have a way of destabilizing your body, and your body reacts in a way that promotes heavy cleansing (usually). But then after a while, your body adapts to the dose and goes back to normal. Usually herbs will give you great results for the first 2 weeks and then stop working. Unfortunately, this is how the herbs treat acne.
