Miracle Acne Cleansers - Do They Really Work?
There are many “miracle” acne cleansers on the market, some of them very expensive and VERY popular - but do they actually work in practice? Or are they just a big scam?
When looking for an acne solution you will probably try a “topical” or cleanser (or “over-the-counter”) as your first attempt to treat it. You’ll probably try a high street or chemist first, containing the ingredient benzoyl peroxide (BP). “BP” acts to dry out the acne lesion, and may provide a quicker than normal healing rate, at first…
However, after using the benzoyl peroxide for a few weeks you will find that it actually starts to chronically dry out the skin, and this will aggravate your skin, resulting in more acne than you normally get! For this reason, benzoyl peroxide is not a viable cleansing agent in the long term.
Another technique you may try is to exfoliate your skin everyday, in the hope that it will keep your skin oils and dead skin cells down to a level that results in less acne. In theory this sounds good - but what about in practice? Well, in practice this over-exfoliating results in chronic dry skin, and worse acne. It is best to exfoliate once or twice a week, as most people who exfoliate normally do.
There are many man-made acne cleansers on the market that contain acid ingredients, which work to remove dead skin cells, excess oil, and “unclog” block pores. Yet, using these is often expensive, and much like cleansers like clearasil, are generally ineffective for anything but the most mild of acne conditions.
Any cleanser you try should have natural ingredients so as to not cause dryness, and should be used sparingly. Don’t expect miracles as cleansers only work to attack the last stage of acne, and do nothing to treat the root cause of acne, which you should handle if you want an effective clear-up…
The root cause in my experience was food. Some foods caused my acne, for example vegetable oil. Once I changed my diet my acne cleared up completely. For more information on clearing your acne visit my website now
