How to Get Rid of Acne: 6 Treatments You Haven’t Tried!

People typically think of acne as a typical teenage problem.  However, a University of Alabama at Birmingham study of more than a thousand adults revealed that acne doesn’t always end with the teen years, even if you have a skin care routine. Adult acne affects the following demographics:

  • 50% of women and 42% of men in their 20s
  • 35% of women and 20% of men in their 30s
  • 25% of women and 12% of men in their 40s
  • 15% of women and 7% of men in their 50s and up

Obviously, not a teenage issue at all!

Social Issues

Dr. Jeanette Graf, M.D., a Great Neck, NY-based dermatologist and author of the best-seller Stop Aging, Start Living, “Adult acne is often difficult for adults emotionally, because they didn’t expect to be battling zits way past their teen years.” Adding to the stress, she says, is that “society doesn’t seem as open to adults having skin problems.”

Dr. Paul Cohen, M.D., of Toronto’s Rosedale Dermatology Center, agrees. “When adults come into my office with acne, they’re much more distraught than teens.”

What Causes Acne?

Adult acne occurs when the skin’s sebaceous glands produce excess amounts of an oily substance called sebum, which clogs pores that attract bacteria and become inflamed.  In a seven-step process, bacteria accumulates within the pore, eventually leading to pimple formation.

There are numerous contributing factors to adult acne:

  • Changes in humidity or weather
  • Cosmetics, skin products or hair products
  • Family heritage or hypersensitivity
  • High-sugar food & drinks that increase oil production which blocks pores [Read More:  How Does Food Influence Acne?:  The Scary Truth about Dairy Products and Sugar]
  • Hormones from dairy products, pregnancy or menstrual cycle
  • Certain medications, such as corticosteroids
  • Smoking
  • Stress, which can trigger cortisol that may result in pore-clogging oil

Making Changes

Some of the possible causes for acne are beyond your control, like an inherited tendency toward breakouts. But others can be addressed through a variety of techniques:

1.  Go see your dermatologist in person.

Dermatologists can often grant personalized advice and treatments that you would not get from reading a book or magazine (or *sob!*, even a blog).  For instance, Dr. Lawrence Gibson, M.D. of the Mayo Clinic recommends also keeping your hair off your face, especially if it’s oily, as much as possible.

Dermatologists also have access to stronger LED light therapies than are available for at-home use.  What’s more, at an appointment, dermatologist can determine if you are a candidate for each therapy in the first place:  For instance, studies have shown LED phototherapy does not work against cystic acne, the most severe form of acne, which is characterized by painful nodular inflammations a few centimeters in size.  (A photo is available here).

LED phototherapy is not recommended in these patients because the treatment temporarily causes inflammation in the skin as immunological cells infiltrate the area, which can be very painful.  LED phototherapy could exacerbate cystic acne by causing the lesions to erupt, potentially spreading into surrounding follicles or resulting in scarring.  So, again, if you have chronic acne, get thee to a dermatologist!

2.  Try this Skin Care Regimen for Morning

Aveeno Clear Complexion Cleansing Bar

1. Cleanser with anti-inflammatory ingredients and salicyclic acid, such as Aveeno Clear Complexion Cleansing Bar ($6.75, Amazon.com).  In studies, salicyclic acid has been found to be more effective than alpha hydroxy acids in reducing the number of pimples.  I also prefer salicyclic acid to benzoyl peroxide for all over the face because benzoyl peroxide increases free radical production in the skin.

2. Spot treatment, such as ZAPZYT Acne Treatment Gel ($4.99, Amazon.com), or, for more sensitive skin, Neutrogena On the Spot Vanishing Formula ($16.69 for three, Amazon.com). Both contain benzoyl peroxide, which causes an oxidative reaction within the pore that actually destroys the pimple from the inside out.  Pretty awesome.

3. Oil-Control Treatment, such as Philosophy On a Clear Day Blemish Serum ($30.00, Amazon.com). This product contains ultra-effective salicyclic acid as the first ingredient, and glycolic acid, which increases cell turnover.

3b. Moisturizer (optional; use only if your skin is dry), such as Aveeno Ultra Calming Moisturizing Cream ($13.95, Amazon.com). This product contains feverfew extract, which I would never recommend if the good folks at Aveeno didn’t take out the potentially-irritating parthenolide within it.  However, without the parthenolide, feverfew is an anti-inflammatory. However, if your skin is oily, you may wish to skip this step, especially because, according to NYC dermatologist Jody Levine, “You want the active ingredients, like salicyclic acid, to soak in without interference.”

4. Oil free foundation or powder with SPF, such as Neutrogena Healthy Defense Powder with SPF 30 ($19.98 for two, Amazon.com). The product does not contain any ingredients that should provoke acne, and provides oil coverage and SPF protection, which is often hard for women with oily or acne-prone skin to find.

3.  And this regimen for night!

Clean and Clear Advantage Spot Treatment1. Cleanser, such as Aveeno Clear Complexion Cleansing Bar ($6.75, Amazon.com). (see morning for description)

2. Spot treatment WITHOUT benzoyl peroxide, such as Clean and Clear Advantage On-The-Spot Acne Treatment ($6.75, Amazon.com). This product contains 2% salicyclic acid. The benzoyl peroxide spot treatment from the morning is not recommended for night because benzoyl peroxide can denature the form of vitamin A (tretinoin) found in Retin-A.

3. Retinoid treatment (if not pregnant or nursing). Ideally, see a dermatologist for a prescription for Retin-A, which has twenty times the potency of retinol sold over-the-counter.  Retinoids are helpful against acne because they increase the rate of cell turnover, exfoliating the skin. If prescription treatments are not an option for you, RoC Anti-Wrinkle Treatment for All Skin Types ($14.79, Amazon.com) contains retinol fairly high on the ingredients list and anti-aging antioxidant vitamin E.  Keep in mind retinoids can increase photosensitivity, which is why the product should only be used at night.

4. Moisturizer (optional; use only if your skin is dry), such as Aveeno Ultra Calming Moisturizing Cream ($13.95, Amazon.com). Sometimes retinoids are irritating or drying to the skin, so you may wish to use a soothing, anti-inflammatory moisturizer like this one at night, even if you choose not to during the day.

4.  Avoid these 17 ingredients in skin care products!

Dr. Leslie Baumann recommends oily/acne-prone skin care types avoid the following ingredients in her best-seller, The Skin Type Solution, as at least one peer-reviewed published studies have associated each of these ingredients with acne:

  • Butyl stearate
  • Cinnamon oil
  • Cocoa butter
  • Coconut oil
  • Decyl oleate
  • Isopropyl isostearate
  • Isopropyl myristrate
  • Lanolin
  • Myristyl myristrate
  • Neopentanoate
  • Neopalmitate
  • Octyl palmitate
  • Octyl stearate
  • Peppermint oil
  • Propionate
  • Propylene glycol
  • Sodium lauryl sulfate

However, it should be noted these ingredients do not provoke acne in all patients. Consult your dermatologist if you have a question about a certain ingredient and your skin type.

5.  Try each of these lines.

Jan Marini Skin Transformation SystemIf you’d prefer not to go to a store and look for the products I recommended above, I also like the following brands.  While I haven’t had acne for a long time, these brands have always delivered consistent results in any skin care system of theirs I have tried:

What I like about ordering these lines through Amazon.com is there is a no-hassle return policy.  Try one for 3 weeks; if it doesn’t work, move onto the next.

6.  See a facialist!

Though I’m a full advocate of modern traditional medicine (I am studying for an M.D., after all!), the truth of the matter is, there are still many methods that traditional medicine has yet to analyze properly, like acupuncture, herbal remedies, or meditation.  Truth be told, I believe facials, including extraction methods and facial steaming, are areas that need further exploration.

Skin care educator Angela Palmer advises recognizing the difference between a doctor and an esthetician, each of whom can offer assistance. A professional esthetician, she says, can provide facial treatments that complement a doctor’s treatment program.

Palmer explains that extracting blockages and clearing pores of excess oil will make blemishes less likely to form. Specially formulated acne facials can not only reduce breakouts and inflammation, but also improve skin clarity overall.

Regular facials tend to have a better effect than occasional visits to an esthetician, so it’s helpful to find a source that’s both affordable and convenient in terms of place and time. Adults with busy schedules can’t always make time during business hours for a facial, so look for a professional esthetician with appointments available during evening and weekend hours.

Bottom Line

There are many methods you can use to treat acne, some of them more effective than others.  The best way to treat acne is to use clinically-proven ingredients in high strength and in combination.  Unfortunately, you may have to rotate through a few different lines and products before you see results.  Another caveat is that bacteria can become resistant to skin care treatments over time, so even if you get months to years of relief from an anti-acne system, you may have to change eventually anyway.

I would also recommend that all readers see a dermatologist and possibly an aesthetician for exclusive, in-person recommendations.  Lastly, be smart about what you put on your face!  From your hair and your hands to oil-rich make-up products, treat your acne-prone skin like the delicate tissue it really is.  It’s not to be messed with!

Choosing Acne Skin Care Products

Thursday, December 29th, 2011

When choosing acne skin care products, there are a few things that you must keep in mind. With thousands of different acne treatments available, choosing the right one can seem like a daunting challenge. This article will show you what to look for and how to know when you’ve found the one that’s right for your face.

Most importantly, you must consider the effect that it has on your skin, beyond treating acne to find the one that’s going to be the best treatment for you. If the product dries your skin out because the active ingredients are too concentrated, your acne isn’t going to clear up any faster than it would with a less concentrated treatment. Higher concentrated products are going to dry your skin out to the point where it becomes irritated and more vulnerable to acne.

The best acne treatment for you is going to be the one that has the active ingredients that are common with skin care products (i.e.

salicylic acid) and cleans your face without drying it out.  In order to find this product, you’re going to have to try out quite a few, but when you find one that has a chance of being good you must stick with it for a little while to see if it dries out your skin.  Your skin will take time to adjust to the new medication, and the ingredients need time to work.

A lifestyle that includes a good diet, exercise, and a regimented face wash routine is the key to clear skin and good health.  When these three things are working in harmony, you’re well on your way to a life free of acne.

Acne Skin Care- What Should You Do About It?

Saturday, December 24th, 2011

Article by Marilynn Syrett

The term ‘acne’ blankets a number of skin diseases like pimples, blackheads and whiteheads. Acne is the result of accumulation of bacteria within the pores of the skin and thus cause oil glands to swell up. This develops inflammations of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles.

Acne skin care is available by hordes in the market. But it is up to you to know what to do and how you use the products. Acne skin care products work from within and kill the bacteria thus receding oil production. The inflammations are hormonal in nature and acne skin care products work towards stabilizing these hormones so that you don’t have to worry about your skin’s health.

However, you must understand that acne skin care products don’t show results overnight. They take their time to reach the root cause of the disease and start eliminating them from scratch. How effective the acne skin product that you decide to use actually depends on you. There are certain things you should keep in mind while selecting and using a product.

Here are some tips:

* Wash your skin very gently. Use a mild cleanser in the morning as well as at night. Wash your face all over, right from the hairline to the neck. Make sure you rinse thoroughly.

* Avoid using strong soaps and scrubs as it will only make the acne worse. Also completely refrain from using any astringents

* Shampoo regularly so that no oil slides on your skin.

* Don’t ever squeeze the pimples on your face or pop your zits. It will leave behind scars and dark blemishes that will take pretty much time to go away.

* Acne skin care products may make you more susceptible to sunburn. In the short term sunburn can make your skin darker and blend in blemishes and scars. But these results will only be temporary. And then again excessive exposure to the sun may speed up the aging process of the skin and increase the risk of skin cancer.

* An acne skin care regimen may require you to abandon some of your cosmetics you are currently using. Make sure all the cosmetics that you use are oil free. Even the hair products that you use have to be oil free so that no oil spreads onto your forehead causing closing of comedons.

* Cosmetics that are high on oil content make skin more prone to acne attacks.

* Drink plenty of water so that your skin is hydrated and keeps detoxified.

* Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in order to retain ample amount of water levels in your body.

* Make sure you sleep really well. This is because our bodies require enough rest so as to function efficiently.

* Try to avoid stress completely as they can be a prime reason for acne breakouts. Discover a calming mechanism such as meditation or the like.

* Avoid touching your face with your hands constantly. Your hands contain oils that can aggravate the acne problem. Moreover, since we do so many things with our hands, they will have an adequate dose of bacteria in them.

* Last of all, but the most important, always read and follow the instructions on the acne skin care product very carefully. Acne skin care products require proper usage style so that they function efficiently.

Dr. Marilynn Syrett graduated from Western University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine Of The Pacific in 1998 and has a keen interest in the use and effectiveness of skin care products and acne skin treatments.

What You Need to Know About Acne Skin Care Part II

Saturday, December 24th, 2011

Article by John Russell

Adult acne is one of the most frustrating problems in a successful cleansing skin care program.

With so many treatment options for acne, how do you know which one to use? If there is a good thing about acne, it’s that there are several options and the key is to find the right combination of cleansing skin care, over-the-counter medications and, finally, advanced physician-only treatment plans.

Acne sufferers should keep in mind that if they don’t see improvement with cleansing and over-the-counter products within three months, they should seek professional skin care advice; this also goes if they have cysts or scarring.

It may sound too good to be true but several studies now show a connection between taking vitamin C orally and the prevention of acne. It’s well documented that vitamin C is considered by many to be a super vitamin and plays a key role in immunity and infection prevention. In order to get the possible anti-bacterial benefits of vitamin C that may be available to prevent acne breakouts, physicians recommend taking 1,000-1,600 mg. three times a day.

As an all-natural supplement program, a combination of anti-inflammatory supplements, like vitamin E, zinc, burdock root, and vitamin C, tend to be more effective synergistically than just one supplement alone.

The most effective program starts with a good cleansing skin care program. The most common over-the-counter acne treatment, especially for adult acne, is benzoyl peroxide. As the basic acne skin care product, it is often recommended by skin care experts and is available in concentrations ranging from 2½%-10%. As an acne skin care agent, benzoyl peroxide actually slows the growth of bacteria and reduces inflammation.

Benzoyl peroxide alone can clear up mild, non-inflammatory blackheads and whiteheads within a month or two.

Benzoyl peroxide, however, has side effects as it kills the bacteria that may dry up excess sebum and lead to redness, peeling, and burning. Those with sensitive skin may not be able to tolerate benzoyl peroxide; and it should be used as part of an acne skin care program nightly.

The next product that can be used at home as part of an adult acne skin care program are blue lights featuring an ANSR beam, which uses a blue light to kill bacteria and red light to facilitate the healing process. An effective cleansing skin care program also has a cleanser that exfoliates the skin to prevent clogged pores.

It must be reinforced that a basic cleansing skin care regimen is mandatory for clear skin and the best would include all-natural anti aging skin care lotions with sun protection.

Acne Breakouts – What Causes Acne Skin Care Problems?

Friday, December 16th, 2011
