The teenage years can be fun, exciting—and agonizing. Especially when acne blotches the skin, stealing self-confidence.
Teenage acne is mainly caused by the increased flow of sebum due to internal hormonal changes and a wide range of products—medicated and natural—are available, such as topical gels, cleansers, and creams and cleansing herbal tablets. Benzoyl peroxide, Salicylic acid, Sulfur, Retin-A, Azelaic acid, and Tea Tree Oil have been proven effective in killing bacteria and unclogging pores. Proactiv, ZEN MED, Cetaphil, Neutrogena, Avalon, and Clean & Clear also market successful acne-fighting products.
The best acne-countering product for teens is probably Proactiv which has three components—a renewing cleanser, revitalizing cleanser and a repairing lotion. With Benzoyl peroxide as its main ingredient, it unclogs pores and goes deep into the skin to kill germs and clear acne. Equally effective are ZEN MED’s acne products, such as Derma Cleanse System and ZEN MED Body Acne Combo—herbal packages designed to fight face and body acne.
Actimine, an herbal remedy, is very efficient in flushing out dirt from pores and supplying essential nutrients to avoid future breakouts. Products by Burt’s Bees—Garden Tomato Toner for Oily and Troubled Skin and Healthy Treatment Pore Refining Mask—are natural ways to deal with acne.
Cleansers including Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser, and Johnson & Johnson’s Clean & Clear Continuous Control Acne Cleanser are especially formulated to cleanse pores and cleansing pads soak up and remove excess oil. Clearasil Maximum Strength Cleansing Pads and Clean and Clear Instant Oil-absorbing Sheets are quite effective.
There are many products available, which are specially formulated for the teen in your home.
