Using almost any search engine on the internet will return many results for the search term “acne remedy“. Any one of those sites may have many treatments from the outrageous to those that sound worth a try. You may want to avoid some of the more extreme ideas.

Some remedies, such as massaging in coconut milk and leaving its oily remedy on the face seem counterproductive. With soy sauce, one has to wonder if the salt or soy is the actual help for the problem.

One mixture sounded like a good way to keep vampires and members of the opposite sex away. It was to use garlic paste on the face for a natural remedy where there were outbreaks of acne. Another seemed more appropriate as the ingredients for a gourmet meal. There were suggestions for several spices as remedies.

One ingredient that has proven effective for over thirty years is benzyl peroxide. It prevents new outbreaks and dries old ones. It is effective at preventing scarring of the face, along with the back, chest and neck.

Benzyl peroxide is not recommended for adults with acne as it can strip vital oils from the skin and cause premature aging. Adults will find salicylic acid containing products to be effective and not as harsh as the benzyl peroxide products.

The acne light is a newer approach to helping overcome acne. The blue light of this device helps to kill off bacteria that may cause infection of acne sites and cause scarring. Many lights also have red lights to help speed healing of sites that have been affected by acne. For this treatment to begin working, it takes at least eight weeks of daily exposure to the light.

Many people find that the over the counter products are all that are needed to take care of an acne problem. If you are not having success with these products, see your doctor or ask for a referral to a dermatologist. He can offer more advice to prevent outbreaks as well as prevent scarring.
