Top Acne
Treatments
Summary of
Results
Reviews of the top 3
products consistently featuring in independent review websites,
and user rated with good to excellent effectiveness.
Many review sites rate
Clearpores #1 for teen and adult acne. Slightly
more expensive but the user consensus is
that superior effectiveness justifies the cost
differential.
This is a 3 step system including: Acne Cream, Acne Gel, and
Herbal Pills to cleanse inside to prevent future breakouts.

#2 Best Acne Treatment - AcneZine (formerly Acuzine)
New more powerful formula, designed
with busy professionals in mind - just take one pill a day.
(Rating 4 1/2 stars). (See Testimonials)
Also a 3 step system. Specifically
formulated for sensitive skin rejuvenation. Reasonably priced
and very effective. (Rating 4 Stars).
Sufferers from more severe acne
unresponsive to other recommendations above, could
try Vilantae Vitamin B5 Treatment.
Works like Accutane to regulate sebum production, but
without Accutane side effects. Must not be combined
with vitamin B supplementation.
Survey Scope
The first problem facing the acne sufferer is
the sheer volume of acne treatment products and all their
competing claims - some well founded and others less
so.
It is impractical for any individual to
try more than a small fraction of the available
acne products - especially as most will take up to 6
weeks to be fully effective.
The second issue is that everybody's body and
health state is subtly different, so a perfectly good
solution for one person is not necessarily the best for
another.
One obvious difference
is how naturally dry or oily is the affected skin area
- also whether this characteristic is evenly
distributed or varies in patches (the latter is quite
common). Many products work
by drying skin natural oils so when applied to already
dry skin can leave it irritated and tender unless additional
moisturizer is used to compensate.
These uniquely personal
differences in body chemistry make it difficult to
impossible to devise an all encompassing rating system that
holds true for all patients in all circumstances.
So, rather than exhaustively
list the products and all the permuations of relevant
individual characteristics, and in so doing swamp the
reader with masses of information they can never use, we
have instead restrained the scope of reporting
to the more popular over the counter brands (i.e.
products tested over very large user populations);
evaluating their ingredients plus a cross section of user
comments regarding effectiveness.
Survey Analysis -
Consensus
Initial conclusions were
then compared with other independent review sites and the
overall top product group was selected and then refined
to a short list of three. Although
most review sites are ad
supported, their user reports do consistently
class all these leading brands as
effective (with appropriate application and
consistent on-going treatment).
Given the emerging
consensus, our conclusion was that it was
pointless to continue with further academic
research when most users were clearly satisfied with
these proven products in mass supply and
easily available. It is
unusual that ALL THREE of the leading products
would prove ineffective when
employed correctly - and in such a situation the
patient should consult a specialist dermatologist
before wasting money on further OTC alternatives.
Need for Continuing
Application
Unfortunately, the need for
continued application arises because topical solutions
attack the symptoms of acne (the zit site) but cannot
eliminate their cause permanently (i.e. hormonal imbalance
provoking excess sebum production). Moreover,
even treatments attacking the problem at source usually
see their effects limited to the duration of
medication. Once medication is halted the problem
typically re-emerges (often following a short period of
remission).
Most acne sufferers are,
quite naturally, seeking a quick but permanent
cure; and find it frustrating to accept the hard
reality that treatment and daily preventative
skin-care may be required for extended periods (years even)
until such time as the body metabolism adapts naturally to
better regulate sebum production. Sadly, it seems that
the distress caused by acne is not given very high
priority by Mother Nature.

Conclusions

research with reviews of the top 3 products consistently
featuring in independent review websites, and user rated with
good to excellent effectiveness.

dietary supplements containing Vitamin B except under informed
medical supervision - as over dosage of Vitamin B can
damage your health.
WARNING - serious cases of Acne
involving deep lesions and scarring should be referred to a
qualified Dermatologist. The powerful treatments required
in such cases involve prescription medicines with significant
side-effects to consider, which should only be employed under
qualified medical supervision. Inappropriate application
can gravely and even irreparably damage your physical or mental
health, so please do not take this caution lightly. Do
inform your dermatologist of ALL other medicines and dietary
supplements you employ - both prescription and OTC
