Acne is caused by increased hormone levels. You should talk to your doctor about possibilities for other treatments if what you are using isn't working. Beware of using any products for acne unless they have been prescribed or recommended by your doctor. Often both topical and oral antibiotics are needed to treat acne, and sometimes topical benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid and/or retinoids. Discuss with the doctor what has worked and what hasn't worked so far.

People make all kinds of suggestions about the best thing to do to cure acne. Some cures I’ve heard include putting oatmeal, honey, lemon juice, tea tree oil, cucumber, vinegar, milk of magnesia or toothpaste on your face. Practically every cosmetics company and company that makes personal care products makes something that is a “sure cure” for acne. If we think about this, and use some common sense, we have to come to the conclusion that there is no quick or easy cure for acne, because if there was it would be well known and doctors would be telling everyone about it.

Numerous companies make a lot of money persuading people to buy products that at worst will make the acne worse, and at best may help some people a little. Often fewer products are better. People often make their acne much worse by using too many products. There really is no quick fix for acne. Don’t spend a lot of money on products just because their ads say that they will cure acne. Your doctor is the best person to ask for help, and he or she may recommend some prescription medication or non-prescription treatment that may be suitable for you..

There are some very simple and basic things you can do that cost nothing. Keep your face or any other area affected by acne very clean. Any mild antibacterial soap will help with that. Rinse the area well to remove all soap residue. Drink plenty of water – it really does help to clear up acne. Eat a nutritious diet and get enough sleep. A healthy life style will make a difference. Try to reduce the stress in your life – stress contributes to acne, so also probably the more you worry about the acne and focus on it, the worse it will be.

Probably the most useful and effective things you can do are to apply hot compresses to pustules and cysts and never to pick or squeeze pimples. Playing with or popping pimples, no matter how careful and clean you are, nearly always makes bumps stay redder and bumpier longer.

Here are a few informative links with additional ideas about preventing and treating acne.

SkinB5 - Not an Acne Solution for Everyone


Got Acne? Take Vitamins

Acne is a common problem with teenagers. This is rooted in an imbalance in hormone secretion in the body system and is caused by the effect of the sebaceous glands present in the skin. In an effort to restore the internal health balance and increase the body's resistance to bacterial attacks which causes acne nutrients like Vitamins and minerals prove to be immensely useful.

The real cause of acne has been found to be hormonal imbalance caused by blocks in the pathways of hormones alongside congesting blood and lymph toxins. Attending to these causes will mean following the right treatment course for acne.
It is agreed that no particular Vitamin can act effectively as a curative for acne. However, certain Vitamins playing a crucial role in hormonal balance can act as important balance restorers helping towards acne treatment. The Vitamins act importantly in maintaining a healthy skin while making it acne free. Among the multiple useful Vitamins, however, it is the role played by Vitamin A or axerophthol (with carotenoids) and Vitamin B-complex which is most significant in skin care and acne treatment.

Vitamin A is known to strengthen the protective tissues of skin. It works towards preventing acne formation by bringing about a reduction in sebum production. This Vitamin also functions importantly in skin tissue maintenance and repair. Besides, it rids the body of various toxins by being an antioxidant. In fact Accutane (or Isotretinoin)- the recommended effective acne medication is also a derivative of Vitamin A. However, administration of this Vitamin in large doses can cause harm to the skin. The topical creams etc. containing skin drying substances like benzoyl peroxide should not be used alongside Vitamin A based treatments. Also in case of pregnant women this Vitamin is to be avoided.

All the individual Vitamins of the B-Complex group have their own specific roles in ensuring skin health. These Vitamins also effectively bring down stress levels (especially Vitamin B5 or pantothenic acid) and thus indirectly aid in the prevention and control of acne (since researches indicate stress to be a causative of acne too). Vitamin B5 counteracts hormonal imbalance which is the root of acne formation for most people. This Vitamin also plays an important role in producing coenzyme A necessary for skin oil metabolism. It can be noted here that excess skin oil secretion aggravates acne. Vitamin B5 also enhances circulation of cells and thereby promotes wound healing. Thus, it can facilitate healing of acne too.

These Vitamins can be consumed in their natural form or perhaps as a multiVitamin capsule. Since sufficient dosage of Vitamin B5 might be lacking in multiVitamin pills an additional supplement of Vitamin B5 should be taken in.
