If so-called acne medications work, why are several people in America alone still suffering from acne? Perhaps they are not as effective as we are made to believe; perhaps they are even more harmful than good for us.
There are over 50 million people in America alone who suffer from acne and sadly this permits for exploitation from the many marketers and impostors out to make a fast buck at the expense of the vulnerable and desperate.
In my case, since adopting the use of drug-free methods of curing my acne, I have since swore off the use of acne medications as I am of the firm belief that most don?t work and may actually aggravate an already debilitating situation.
Trust me, I tried it all: Proactive, Clearasil, Neutrogena, Benzoyl peroxide medications?you name it, I tried it and from my experience, nothing worked.
One product would probably just dry my skin out, while the other would so irritate my skin, I?d have to be so careful not to even touch it.
I remember for one I had to use a cleanser, then the mask (10-15 minutes for this one folks) and afterwards a toner and ?concealer?? Imagine the looks I got from my roommates walking around the apartment with so-called acne products on my face.
Friends, most people-like I did -develop side effects from using prescription topical acne remedy medications. These include stinging, burning, redness, peeling, scaling, or discoloration of the skin.
In regards to oral medications such as tetracycline and minocycline, I personally experienced an upset stomach, dizziness and lightheadedness which usually kicked in within minutes after use.
Moreover, I was told I?d have to take oral antibiotics for as long as 4 to 6 months for an effective acne treatment! Now I don?t know about you, but that is an awfully long time to wait for an acne remedy to work, especially when a natural inexpensive alternative for the treatment of acne could give you the same results in less than 7 to 10 days when done properly.
In addition to this, the overuse of antibiotics, explain experts, will lead to resistant organisms and an increase in infectious illness.
Naturally, we all differ, so if you?ve had success from acne medications, by all means feel free to use them, however, if like the majority you have had no success with the wide range of so called acne remedies then why not try alternative methods of clearing up your skin. It worked for me and chances are it can work for you.
Here?s to clearer skin naturally,
