As a skin care professional I’m often asked what’s the best acne treatment available on the market today and I always answer the same way: Work out a good skin care program suitable for you and stick to it religiously and you won’t need any acne treatments, simple as!

All these ads on TV and in the magazines etc. that proclaim themselves to be the best acne treatment have nothing to back up those claims because its impossible to back them up. Everyone has different skin types, different causes of acne, are more susceptible to certain medications etc. What may work for one person may well not work on another so no particular type of acne treatment can proclaim to be “The Best Acne Treatment In The World…Ever!”

Another thing to remember when you are on the hunt for an acne treatment is that it is in the manufacturers interests that they do NOT cure you acne. They will show an improvement to your acne in a few days as the ads claim but they are very harsh on your skin so that as soon as you stop using the treatment another outbreak occurs, usually worse than the first one!

How does this happen? The treatments shred the essential oils from your skin so your glands produce extra to try and replace them. This extra oil is kept in check while you continue to apply the treatment but once you stop, your skin can’t cope with the extra oils and the acne breaks out again.

When the new acne appears the manufacturers hope that you will remember how well their treatment got your spots to go down last time and so rush out to buy more, believing theirs to really be the “best acne treatment on the market.”

So, next time you are in the drugstore looking at all those acne products wondering if any of these could be the best acne treatment, stop and move to the skin care products. You will want a quality cleanser which you should use last thing at night before bed. Also get yourself quality moisturizer and toner which should be used in the morning after a gentle wash with none perfumed soap.

When you first start your skin care regime you will probably already have an acne outbreak. If so, choose one of the mild treatments and apply it once per day straight after you have applied the toner and moisturizer.

Ideally you should be looking for an acne skin care treatment such as AcneZine. These types of treatment take a little longer to work but are designed to be much kinder to your skin so in the long term work much better than even the best acne treatment on the market.
