Jerry K

Acne is a problem from which really a lot of people suffer. And the sufferers sometimes completely do not know what to do when the ugly spot appears on any part of their bodies. Some people just seem to get into panic, mostly because they simply do not know from where the pimple appeared.

In their panic these poor guys often begin to use multifarious preparations in an effort to find the best acne products, but still they do not achieve any result. In this case the advice will be simple: don’t be so anxious. Just do it – just try to compare different products and choose the best acne product. A cold-minded comparison is always better than jumping from one product to another. Thinking first of doing is the basic principle of human life. And doing first of thinking is the thing for requital always comes, sooner or later.

Another approach is quite different. More exactly, it is merely indifferent. Maybe somewhere deep in their souls such guys do have some complexes because of their acne…or maybe their complexes are so deep so that they have already said “whatever” to their good look.

Anyway these people are also recommended to make some acne products comparison chart and rethink about their attitude. Maybe then even their life could change.

The third approach is more correct anyway – and it is the most common among normal people not burdened much with different complexes or diseases yet unknown to the mankind. These guys tend to find some treatment and often they do achieve success.

But the advice concerning how to choose acne products is nevertheless good for them as well, especially if they have a lack of system in their opinions about different acne treatment preparations. Besides, that is much easier to draw such chart if the one already knows several good acne products. So wish you all develop a right approach to your problem and you will see that it is much simpler to get rid of acne. And systematizing can assist you, too.

But nevertheless a couple of minutes (or even seconds) which you may spend for reading this small article may be worth hours of time that you are going to save.

“Nonsense” – someone can say. – “These small articles written just for money-earning and for filling the satellite sites and/or based merely on keywords but not on the piece of sense are useless and reading them cannot give anything actually applicable”.

But please don’t regard this piece of text as just a package of some keywords. Here we shall try to supply you with several tips, which can be really helpful in your real life, namely 4 acne products tips which you may buy in order to get rid of bad skin condition, called acne of course.

  1. So tip number one is that you ought to obey doctor endorsements. Yeah, these doctors are annoying and time- & money-consuming; however, they do their job which anyway is useful for the poor one like you.
  2. Then, please refer to acne product reviews. This can be really helpful in any case. Use different reviews that come from different sources.

Natural Remedies for Acne

Jerry K

Natural remedies for acne is always better and more preferable. And it is not subject to asking “why?” In our age of everything plastic we should tend to find some small island of naturalness and genuineness in every event and every thing that surrounds us.

It is better to consume natural food – I hope that you have no doubts in it. However, a lot of food that surrounds us is not as natural as we wish it to be. In America people just hunt after low cholesterol and do you see what they get as a result? Have ever lived in America at least for several days? Have you eaten American food for several days in a row? One friend of mine had such an experience. Within these several days she just felt that her waist is becoming much wider and when she came back to her country she just began to eat her native food as if she hasn’t eaten for ages! That is the consequence of unnaturalness you can find everywhere in our days, and that’s a pity, of course.

Who decided that smell of gasoline is more pleasant to us? Who resolved that taste of concrete is more pleasant to us? Do we taste a taste of everlasting spite and pain, and choke with alcohol?

No, that is not our choice.

Continuing with these metaphors… Have our world become so unnatural? How have our sky and our faces found themselves behind bolt and bar? Is plastic stitched up in your heart going to bring you happiness?

But we should believe that somewhere there is a world, which is green as a forest is. And we should tend to find this world, surrounding ourselves with everything natural.

This applies to acne treatment also. Even if you are not going to cure your acne with something like celandine, which was recommended by our grandmothers, definitely benzoyl peroxide, retinoids and especially isotretinoin cannot be a really natural remedy for acne.

Pros and Cons of Retinoids

Jerry K

Are retinoids good or bad? This question is not so easy to answer as many other questions asked by the life. Even the purpose of asking this question determines duality of the subject – it is not clear at all, whether using such acne treatment products as retinoids will do you more good than harm.

This may not seem very clear because the aim of using retinoids and other chemical preparations is the same and surely their use is aimed at having something good, namely get rid of acne. So, the question in the heading just saps the basis of the purpose, why retinoids actually exist.

What are the pros and cons of retinoids? The matter is in some alternatives which exist for everybody choosing or intending to choose retinoids for acne treatment. These alternatives appeared a long time ago…even earlier than retinoids and other similar products did, but still sometimes and somewhere they are undeservingly forgotten.

As you might have understood, the case in hand is natural acne treatment. Retinoids don’t fall into category of products used for the same, because they are merely synthetic analogues for vitamin A.

Vitamin A itself is known as a very useful thing for treating acne and helping in acne treatment, and its analogues have more powerful effects on the abovementioned disease. So in this respect retinoids can be named more good than bad.

However, the subject has not appeared from nowhere, as any acne also doesn’t appear without any cause, even if it seems like that.  There are of course pros and cons of retinoids but the main deficiency with retinoids as well as with some products having similar origin and effect is presence of side effects, which are generally not attributed to any natural acne treatment products.

You will agree that doing harm to oneself instead of doing something good, which was the original intention, is not the best thing you can do for yourself. Here retinoids are undoubtedly more bad, than good.

So follow up and try to justify your choice – will you go for retinoids or for truly natural acne treatment?

Isotretinoin during pregnancy – side effects

Jerry K

There are drugs which are not quite safe and a big deal of cautiousness is always required during their use. Isotretinoin can be undoubtedly named a drug of this kind.

Isotretinoin is one of the most well-known and the most effective drugs that are used for acne treatment. Isotretinoin is the most widely known as Roaccutane – a trademark under which the most commonly used preparation containing isotretinoin is sold. As per its origin isotretinoin is a drug from the group of retinoids – synthetic analogues for vitamin A. Among retinoids, isotretinoin is the most powerful and effective. But at the same time it possesses some side effects, which imply that this drug should be used very carefully, as it has been already mentioned above.

Isotretinoin has complex action, but the main thing is that this preparation reduces production of sebum and consequentially quantity of acne emerging on the skin decreases significantly. Because of its strength and all the side effects, isotretinoin is mostly prescribed in the most complicated and severe cases, on advanced stages of development of acne, when scars are formed, when acne becomes to cause serious psychological problems etc.

Concerning side effects, there are also some contraindications, which imply that in some cases isotretinoin can’t be used at all. The strongest contraindication for using isotretinoin is pregnancy.

While generally side effects of isotretinoin, which healthy and not pregnant people have, are curable and predictable, during pregnancy as well as in some other cases (e.g. pancreatic diabetes) this drug can bring terrible effects. If isotretinoin is taken during (or no more than 3 months before) pregnancy, it can cause severe abnormalities in the fetus’s development, as well as miscarriages.

That’s why it is extremely important to pass pregnancy test before taking isotretinoin, as well as to have reliable contraception within all the course of treatment, or not to have sexual contacts at all.

Is there an Effective Remedy for Adult Acne?

Jerry K

As many other phenomena that we come across in our life, acne has some stereotypes. For example, it is thought that acne is a problem which concerns mostly youngsters. Sometimes young adult men regard themselves as “still teenagers” only because they are not able to dispose of acne which they associate with adolescence. That is at least not correct, as regarding acne as a mostly problem with face skin – acne appear at many places but the thing is that on the face they are more noticeable and therefore cause more problems.

The same is with age – of course, adult acne are not so frequent as acne in puberty age, but still millions adult men complain on having them and millions of adult women break forth when they notice these ugly little spots on the face of their own reflection. As a rule, acne forms when sebaceous glands under our skin begin to produce too much oil, or this oil is not removed from the skin – in such case it chokes skin pores together with dead skin, sweat and dust. Acne can also be a consequence of allergy or of harmful activity of a follicle mite – this ugly small creature is parasitizing in sebaceous glands and hair bulbs. The latter case is the hardest in all cases of having acne, but nevertheless it is quite remediable as well and some visits to dermatologist will help you to get rid of this filthy arachnid.

A good remedy, of course, is to prevent acne, which is easier and less costly that curing inveterate skin disease. But one believes in wonder when hears a sound of thunder – that’s why over and over again people have to fight against many avoidable troubles.

If you do have acne, the best advice will be to pay a visit to a cosmetologist or dermatologist. But if you really don’t have time and wish to spend your precious time and money in a hospital, you may try an effective remedy for adult acne like black earth, yeast mask or salicylic acid. Acne can be treated with calendula infusion or some other alcohol-containing preparations.
