Acne Treatment Reviews: What To Look For

By Grant Pennington, Sr.

Finding an effective acne treatment regimen can take some work. No 2 blemishs are alike and thus no 2 treatment regimens will be the same. The most effective way to heal acne is by employing preventative measures like drinking at least 64 oz of water daily, maintaining a healthful diet and exercise plan, and learning to manage stress. With these measures, developing a suitable plan for cleaning the skin is the key in stopping acne outbreaks.

For serious acne cases, commence with a dermatologist. A pro can make suggestions for treating moderate to serious acne and could also need to prescribe a prescription cream or topical medicine. For milder cases, commence with the web. There are heaps of educational acne sites available on the internet and plenty of acne treatment reviews to read which can help in selecting an acne treatment regimen.

All major brand names such as Neutrogena (www.neutrogena.com) and Murad (www.murad.com) have websites where products can be bought, acne treatment reviews can be read, and basic skincare information can be learned. National directories to locate information on dermatology, acne, and skincare also have websites: www.dermatology.com, www.acne.org, and www.skincare.com to name just a few.

Finding Good Acne Treatment Reviews

Before looking for acne treatment reviews, make a list of products or product lines you are interested in and general queries you have about acne treatment. It's a good concept to take notes or print info that you find beneficial. Bear in mind that a lot of sites try to sell you something. It's best to stay with attempted and true treatment options, particularly when it comes to an unpredictable skin condition like acne.

Sites like www.acne.org, www.acne.about.com, and www.skincarephysican.com provide non-biased views on acne treatment products. Some give generic information about acne treatment products while others list and compare name brands. If you are curious about a particular product or product line, just type in that search term. It is a good idea to look at a minimum of five different sites before making a decision. www.acne.org provides excellent side by side comparisons of popular acne treatment products. Reviewers are real acne sufferers and rate products from 1 to 5 while also summarizing the product and its effects.

Take acne treatment reviews with a grain of salt. A good review isn't made till a product has been used consistently for no less than eight weeks. The skin may break out more when introduced to a new product but this can clear up and the skin's condition will continue to enhance if the product is right for that person's skin type. Reviewers should bide your time as should any customer trying a new acne treatment product. - 15437
