What are the best acne treatments on the market today?
ProActiv fro Acne
This product is one of the better acne treatments available, it is an acne treating system rather then an acne cream as acne need to be treated as a process rather than a magical potion. The secret ingredient that makes this product effective is “benzoyl peroxide” in a larger dose than the creams you can buy over the counter. The system comes as a replenishing cleanser to clean cells deep down, a toner to tighten pores after cleansing and a bacteria fighting moisturizing lotion to keep pimples at bay while keeping the skins ph levels balanced. ProActiv is available to buy online and on TV infomercials. It has a free trial period with a money back guarantee if you are unsatisfied with the results.
Accutane for Acne
Accutane is a very strong medication that is used by people who suffer from extreme cases of acne. It is an internal treatment that is prescribed only by a doctor as it can have serious side effects if pregnant or if you have liver problems, other reported side effects are cracked lips and dry skin. If you have acne as well as sensitive skin this product may cause more harm then good as it is very strong and may cause a skin reaction if the skin is sensitive.
Retin-A Acne Treatment
This is an all round miracle product that derives from vitamin A, this ingredient has not only proven to be very effective on acne problems but is effective in the fight against aging and wrinkles. Retin-A is an all round skin vitamin it helps skin cells renew themselves faster and more efficiently improving the production of the skins elasticity. The skins elasticity is responsible
for the condition in the skin, for example skin with good elasticity will stretch and pull without breaking any cell fibers that will result in scars, stretch marks and wrinkles. The more elasticity the skin has the more supple and youthful looking it will be also the regular renewal of skin cells helps pores to stay unblocked and allow sebaceous oil to escape through the pores without getting blocked up and infected causing acne breakouts.
What are the best acne treatments for sensitive skin?
If you have really sensitive skin then your skin may have a reaction to most or all of the chemical enhanced treatments that are in all the above products. My suggestion is to start will all natural products first and see how they work for you. Natural products such as honey, Tea tree oil, lavender oil and all other essential oils have potent natural ingredients that help balance the skin and fight bacterial which is sufficient in fighting mild forms of acne. Try to eat healthy and drink plenty of water to detoxify from the inside out this is very important first step as you need to take all the toxins from your system in order to rebalance your hormones and liver functions.
Then the use of essential oils such as Tea tree oil, lavender oil, clove oil, bergamot oil and grape seed oil all have soothing and bacteria fighting agents. After cleansing and toning with tea tree products then you can use a Lavender oil mask to sooth any inflamed areas of acne this then can be followed by mixing oats and honey together and allowing it to sit on the face for 15 to 20 minutes to moisturize the area while fighting any growing bacteria.
What if natural products have little or no effect on Acne?
After trying the above natural remedies for a period of 3 months and you notice little effect then it is best to consult a dermatologist to get a skin analysis done and so they can recommend a treatment that will best suit your skin type. If you buy any over the counter products yourself without any advise this can irritate your skin making the area sore and inflamed and your acne can look even worse so be cautious here. Remember to keep up the dietary part of the process by eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and drinking plenty of water. Do not smoke or drink alcohol excessively and make sure you are getting the sufficient supply of vitamins and Zinc to keep your skin working to its maximum abilities.
