The acne treatment industry is rife with over-exaggerated claims made by aggressive marketers.
Don’t believe everything you read.
When making a decision about which best acne treatment, consider these three areas:
- Science – it doesn’t lie.
- Consumer reviews – the average person is unbiased and wants to help
- Price – the “best acne treatment” needs to be affordable in addition to being effective.
Best Acne Treatment Requirement #1: Science
Ingredients should be tested for safety and efficacy. There are quite a few effective ingredients out there, such as benzoyl peroxide. You’ll hear companies tout it as the acne cure all. What they won’t tell you about is the host of nasty side effects: scaly, red, dry and flaky skin. Instead of benzoyl peroxide, we recommend tea tree oil. It clears your acne without wreaking havoc on your face.
Another ingredient that works is salicylic acid. Much like benzoyl peroxide, it may cause some nasty side effects: irritable, dry skin. Instead of using the man made salicylic acid, we recommend using the natural form, white willow extract. While it’s slightly less effective, it will be a much more pleasant experience.
