Three Acne Treatments You Need to Use Right Now to Clear Your Acne

Health Articles | August 18, 2009

There are several acne treatments that are effective for many acne sufferers.� However, I don't recommend all of them because some are simply too expensive or too risky.� For instance, laser treatments work well for acne and acne scars, but one visit can cost upwards of $300.� Many dermatologists prefer to give their patients oral contraceptives, which are effective for some, but can actually make acne worse for others.� It also has a tendency to cause weight gain.

Tip: If your acne treatments are causing you to gain weight, you probably shouldn't be using them.�

There are a number of other treatments you can choose from instead.� I'm going to show you the top acne treatments I recommend for acne patients, many of which I have used myself.

1. Microdermabrasion: This is a great option for many acne patients.� Microdermabrasion is one of the least invasive treatments, and one of the least expensive.� However, one visit can cost more than $80 or so, but one treatment goes a long way; at least it did for me.

2. Chemical peels: These are better for nonfacial skin, such as your neck, back, and chest.� I have had a couple of mild chemical peels done on my skin, and I have relished in the results every time.� The first time you have one, you might peel, as if you had gotten a sunburn.� Subsequent visits won't usually do that to you, though.� You can expect to pay at least $60 per chemical peel treatment.

3. Proactiv: Spare me the jokes; I really use Proactiv, as I have for over a year now.� Before I used it, I used to just diss it, but I'd keep having to switch the cleansers I was using because they quit working.� I finally decided to give Proactiv a try, and I haven't looked back since.� I would suggest getting the basic kit first, and go from there.� There's quite a few freebies with the kit, such as the sulfur treatmentHealth Fitness Articles, that I use all the time for little spot treatments here and there when they creep up.
