Acne Treatment

AddThis Social Bookmark Button

Santa was looking out for me this year. He stuffed my stocking with all sorts of goodies to take care of my skin. And, because he's a wise old elf, they actually work. When I remember to use them.

Since not all skin goodies are created equal, I decided it was time to start looking at acne medicine claims and reviews again. As with everything else that has a life on the WWW, not all goodies are good for you. And not all products work.

Acne is a tricky problem. There are so many possible causes and so many sites offering 'expert' advice, it is mind-boggling. For example, my skin problems are easily diagnosed - insufficient skin care, periodic high stress, and not keeping my hands off my face. I don't need $100.00 acne cream; I just need to drink more water and wash my face twice a day. (Well, that may be over simplifying, but close enough.)

Individuals with moderate to severe breakouts, have an entirely different situation. And, to be perfectly honest, shouldn't be trying for Internet miracles. Without knowing the underlying cause - which can run the gamut from stress to infection to overwashing - how in the world can someone treat their acne online? Yet, that's exactly what so many try to do.

Not to mention, like me and my new shoes, you don't know what you've purchased until it's in your hands. The guy selling you the miracle cure is not likely to tell you it's snake oil. Especially if he's making $10 on every bottle sold.
