Is There Really an Acne Treatment that Works?

It strikes people young and old without discretion, and it seems almost impossible to get rid of, yet the drug store shelves are lined with treatments that give promises of clear skin. What is a person to think? Is there really an acne treatment that works, or are they all just blowing smoke?

There are several acne treatments that are being promoted heavily by those in the media. One of the more popular ones is proactive, that is being touted as the end all of acne treatments. My son has used this product and it did clear his acne to a certain extent but as soon as he stops using it the acne comes right back. Now this is, in all honesty, a good acne treatment, but it does nothing to cure the problem, but it sure does sell a heck of a lot of product.

There are also plenty of over the counter pads and lotions that will dry your skin, but you could really do the same thing or better by using sea salt and vinegar. So yes, they do work but why put an unnatural, man made thing on your skin if you didn't have to?

I have found that discovering what is at the root of the acne problem and treating that is the best way to cure your acne once and for all. I've known people who have had liver problems as the source of their acne problems and a little lemon water and red beets seemed to clean their skin quite a bit. So if you really want to clear your skin then use a natural acne treatment that works, not a drug store potion.
