Acne sufferers have a choice between medicated and natural acne products.
In contrast to medicated products which contain low to high concentration of Benzoyl peroxide or Salicylic acid, natural acne products make use of herbs and natural oils such as Tea Tree Oil, an antibacterial and cleansing agent; Lavender Oil, acne countering and preventing oil; and Rosewood Oil, an effective acne treating agent.
Like medicated products, natural products come as cleansers, scrubs, masks, gels, natural oils, and even herbal tablets.
ZEN MED Derma Cleanse System is a natural product that has cleansing gel for unclogging and cleaning pores, and herbal capsules to flush out harmful bacteria and replenish essential vitamins to fight acne from within. Enriched with essential Tree Tea Oil, Aloe Vera, Vitamin A, E, D3, C, Pro-Vitamin B5, Allatoin, and other vegetable ingredients, it is extremely effective against acne.
Among topical creams and gels, PhytoMe and Kiss My Face are two effective products for acne prevention. PhytoMe Acne Gel, made up of natural oils, vitamins, and herbs, treats acne and is suitable for all skins. Kiss My Face Botanical Acne Gel is a very efficient over-night treatment gel made up of essential oils.
Some natural acne products like Actimine, AcnEase, Xian 100% Acne Treatment, and 10 1E Acne Getaway are made up of ancient Chinese herbs and other essential ingredients suited to fight and prevent acne.
Prominent among natural cleansers and toners are Desert Essence 100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil, Burt’s Bees Garden Tomato Toner for Oily and Troubled Skin, and St Ives Facial Foaming Cleanser, which has Tree Tea Oil with Glycerin and hence cleanses skin without drying it.
Bio Skin Care’s Elicina Cream is a natural cream composed of vitamins, Allantoin, and proteins, which gently gets rid of dead cells and treats scars, leaving behind blemish-free skin.
Unlike Benzoyl peroxide, which produces dryness in sensitive skin, natural acne products while treating acne, also prevent too much drying. Natural acne products have been found to be equally effective as the medicated ones in treating acne. A wide array exists in the market. So, pick up the one, which suits your skin, the best.
