Alec Avila — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 23:57:57 +0000

The rate in which people strive to achieve flawless skin and invisible pores plainly amounts to a remunerative business for the acne cream companies. There are always those skin conscious persons who are always searching for the best acne treatment they could. These persons are expected to try a number of productions before going to the last resort would be to consult their dermatologist who often recommends creams that just made a debut on the skin care market.

If the product the dermatologist commended won’t work, then these people will take matters into their own hands and then commence grabbing acne creams that comes with eye-catching packagings over the grocery or the pharmacy. Some get lucky sufficient to get hold of good productions such as the La Roche-Posay Effaclar K Acne Treatment Fluid.

Closer look on the product

Selling at roughly $20 per one ounce tube, this acne treatment ideally lasts for in regards to 30 applications. Similar to other pimple fighting creams, it is applied in thin layers one to three times a day, depending on the severity of your acne. The most active cleansing agent of the cream is salicylic acid that works to deplete the excess oil formulated on our faces and to unclog the pores from dirt. On the other hand, the presence of the micro beads helps in exfoliating the face from blackheads, whiteheads and dead skin cells.

The bargain

Beauty has a price. The red tag may be screaming at you once you see this tiny tube on the shelf, as equated to other brands that come with added skin care treatments, like lotions, toners and cleansers. It goes without saying that this one is kind of pricey. But before you place it back on it is holder, this product, in spite of it is brow-raising price, is surely a keeper; for there are still no negative affirmations in regards to it is efficacy in removing those blemishes from the beauteous face of the ones who’ve already used it.

Good side

Nothing is ever cheap these days. By the time that you determine to sit down and in the end sum up all the fees you’ve remunerated for your dermatologist to diagnose what’s the problem with your skin, you have expended more than a $100.

Though it’s going to break the bank with it is price, it’ll be tame on your face. For while other acne creams are mainly composed of salicylic acids alone, this cream raised the bar above it is contest by combining LHA and salicylic acid which in turn leads to better results.

Reduces blackheads, controls breakouts and improves skin texture. The light, smooth texture helps transform and sooth skin. Blemishes are erased, pores are unclogged and tightened.

Even Accutane didn’t work for me…
By Minelli
I highly recommend this product in combination with other Biomedic products from LaRoche-Posay for the treatment of stubborn acne. I had trouble with moderate to severe acne for most of my 20s. I tried everything – accutane, 5 kinds of antibiotics, differin gel, ortho tri-cyclen + aldactone, stuff from tv, and oftentimes, I used several of the treatments in combination, as directed by my ever-hopeful dermatologist. Finally, I went to a plastic surgeon to see about some scar treatments, and before he did any major procedures, he put me on a combination of effaclar K, a couple of other biomedic products, Retin-A micro, and I had regular micro-dermabrasion and/or facial peel treatments. Retin-A Micro gave me really dry skin, so after I cut that out, everything else worked perfectly. I know other people’s recommendations can be annoying, especially when you’re certain that nothing will work, but I’d say that this product is worth a try! It really did help me. I continued to use it even after I stopped going to regular microdermabrasion appointments, and I have never had a reoccurence of acne. (As a side note, I also avoided major plastic surgery as a result of the success.)

Outstanding
By Impact Marketing
I wish I had found this product long ago.

It is the only thing I’ve actually rated 5-star on Amazon because I believe it rates it.

It reduces visible zits when applied directly to them- sometimes in just a couple of hours.

When applied to the whole face after a warm shower just before bed, you wake up with a clearer, cleaner, tighter face. The acidity kills acne-causing bacteria on and below the surface of the skin, dissolving oily residue, preventing clogged pores, and eating away dead skin.

I found this product in Paris, and a few years later it started to be exported to the USA. Until then, I was spending alot of money to purchase and ship it here into the USA where I live. Now that it is available on Amazon.com, I’m so overwhelmed with happiness.

I cannot possibly say enough. This stuff really is that good. 10/10!!!

I Love This Product, I Really Do…
By Janaan H.
I love this product! I have tried literally hundreds of beauty products from many countries and in every price range. I’ve used cetaphil and creme de la mer… However, I can say that after two months of using this product it is the best thing I have found for my acne-prone skin. As my dermatologist always emphasizes after I tell him I feel like I’m wasting my money, there is no such thing as a miracle. He’s right, and I still get some breakouts, but this has helped- noticeably.

It also did not dry my skin the way all other acne products seem to do. I pair it with LRP’s toleriane moisturizer and I get no flakes at all, and almost no zits. Best thing I’ve ever found for my acne; in my case better than prescription gels or antibiotics. My skin started getting better in a few days, but give it a try for at least 2-3 weeks since it takes some people longer to see results.

Nature’s Gate Natural Results Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment

Branson Leblanc — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 14:15:52 +0000

While some may breeze through adolescence with only a pimple here and there, galore pre-teens, teenagers and young adults battle severe cases of acne. And when I say serious, I mean serious. Acne may be badly scarring both with regard to emotions and physically if it is not held under control. Yes, kids may be cruel, but so is a lifetime of looking into a mirror and seeing a face scarred by untreated acne.

Contrary to ordinary belief, acne is not caused by eating greasy, fried, fatty and sugary foods. While it may be exacerbated by a poor diet, acne is actually caused by bacteria which feed off of the sebum invented in hair follicles. The body’s immune system, in an crusade to kill the bacteria, damages the walls of the hair follicle which allows the sebum to leak into the skin forming a pimple.

Even though bacteria are the main culprit, there are triggers or stressors that may make a person more prone to acne. Most acne pimple natural treatment work to control acne by addressing these triggers:

Genetic history
Hormone activity
Stress
Hyperactive sebaceous glands
Accumulation of dead skin cells
Skin irritation or scratching
Anabolic steroids
Medication with halogens
Certain chemical compounds

Acne Pimple Natural Treatment: Over the Counter vs. Natural

So, do natural treatments genuinely work or do you need to buy something in a store to see real results? Research has shown that natural, herbal treatments do have an effect on acne. In fact, numerous over the counter medications comprise natural ingredients such as lavender and chamomile to soothe the skin. Salicylic acid, a usual acne medication, is genuinely derived from willow bark, a popular natural treatment option.

If you’re mesmerized in attempting an acne pimple natural treatment, take a look at the following natural treatment options:

Make a mixture of nutmeg and milk. Rub on face and leave for 1 to 2 hours.
Need an during one night treatment? Mix up honey and cinnamon powder. Apply to the face and wear overnight. Continue each night for up to two weeks.
Ground radish seeds and warm water is likewise a general acne pimple natural treatment.

Why do people choose natural treatments over store purchased ones? While they are oftentimes less expensive, people choose natural treatments for a host of reasons that have not one thing to do with cost. Health conscious people choose natural treatments because they are loathe putting chemicals on their skin. Adults choose natural treatments over store purchased ones because most over the counter acne medications are made for teenage skin and may be drying to adults. Natural treatments are less harsh, less drying. The list is never ending.

Should you undertake an acne pimple natural treatment? The decision is exclusively up to you. The key is to find something that works. If you have used something, whether natural or chemical, for an extended amount of time of time without success, it is time to move onto something else.

Awesome product!
By LisaDF
This product, Zymaderm, had an immediate effect on the reduction in severity of the Molluscum Contagiosum (MC) bumps on my 3 year old son. It was a saving grace for us. He had about 25 very ugly bumps with the white core on his face and elsewhere by the time we figured out what he had. The doctors said to leave it alone, it would go away on it’s own, but it kept getting worse. It’s horrible to look at when it’s really bad. I found out about Zymaderm on a message board; thank goodness we tried it. We could see a huge difference after only one application. It seems to dry up the bumps and suck the life right out of them. Best of all, it is painless. After about 2 weeks of one application per day at bedtime, the bumps were almost completely gone. A couple of the oldest bumps were more resistant. The MC is a virus and can last years. My son has had it for about 4 months now, and we’ve been using the same bottle of Zymaderm for about 2 months. We still have half a bottle, as you use very little at a time. I inspect his entire body nightly after his bath for new bumps. If you treat the bumps regularly when they first appear, when they are visible as teeny, tiny pimple-like bumps, they don’t seem to develop into the big white things, and are barely noticable. Other tips that helped stop the spread: a)no baths, only showers, and fresh towels each night. When the white head seems ready to erupt, a good long shower will soften the skin and the white core can be swiped out gently with a towel but be sure not to use that towel to dry the unaffected parts of the body or it will spread. b)treat with Zymaderm after the core comes out and bandage the bump for 24 hours until it heals up a bit, to prevent infection. He is down to about 7 or eight bumps now, and I treat them with Zymaderm religiously. They are on his face but you can’t even see them unless you’re inspecting his skin like I do. Now the MC is something we can live with until it is gone for good. Luckily, no one else in our family has contracted it. I highly recommend this product.

Absolutely effective!
By freenergy
I’m a 32yr old male, I contracted molluscum recently from god-knows-where. I had about a couple dozen bumps of varying size on my face, and well, I was freaking out! The dermatologist gave me Aldara, which I did buy, but reading the side-effects of that made me a bit nervous. I found Zymaderm on a web-search; I have a healthy suspicion for “wonderful” products sold on the net, so I did a bit of research. I checked out the patent application for Zymaderm (in the public domain at the USPTO) and it seemed legit, so I went ahead and bought it.

I’m not prone to writing reviews, but I’m writing this one because I’m so thankful for this product. The results are absolutely great! Most of the bumps disappeared within a week, and the rest disappeared in the second. The older the bump, the longer it seems to take. At this point, i.e. after two weeks of using it, I have just one bump left on my face, and it is not growing.

From all the literature search I did on Molluscum, I figured out that there is no real medication for it. Aldara is supposedly effective to an extent (I never even tried it), but as I said just reading the side-effects gave me the heebie-jeebies. Zymaderm is absolutely effective, and I had no side effects at all.

Worth a shot, just manage your expectations
By Joe V
From reading the reviews here, it seems obvious that ZymaDerm works for some people but not for others.

After unsuccessfully treating mulluscum using SilverCure on my son, I decided to try ZymaDerm. The difference was night and day. Within a month, the ZymaDerm knocked out the smaller molluscum bumps and stopped the spreading. There is a big “mother colony” right at the joint where the forearm meets the bicep that is more treatment-resistant, but visible progress is still being made.

I would suggest just order one bottle. Don’t take advantages of any discounts offer on a second bottle until you absolutely know the ZymaDerm will work for your child.

Scalp acne is a reasonably mutual condition which may affect both men and women of all ages. Although it for the most part appears on the scalp, it may likewise affect other elements of the body such as the face, arms, armpits, chest and legs. Scalp acne commonly manifests itself as little white and yellow pustules.

Scalp acne may be triggered by overly generative oil glands which mix with dirt resulting in a clogged pore. Once the pore is blocked, bacteria will then cause the pimple to erupt.

Certain hair care merchandise which incorporate exuberant amounts of oil may likewise irritate or worsen the condition. Stress is also thought to be a contributing element in scalp acne appearance.

For those who are stricken with scalp acne, there are treatments available which you may talk about with your dermatologist. He may suggest a scalp acne treatment which holds salicylic acid. This scalp acne treatment would be employed with either a cotton ball or a cotton swab. Since this scalp acne treatment may cause the treated area to become excessively dry, so it is advised that it be used only on the affected area.

Before beginning the salicylic acid treatment, the scalp ought to basi be cleansed with a non-irritating shampoo. Individuals with severe cases of scalp acne will have to never try to treat the condition themselves, but rather they ought to consult the services of a qualified dermatologist.

If you intend on using scalp acne treatments on your own, be sure that you do not use benzoyl peroxide as a treatment on the scalp as it is a bleaching agent. It will cause the hair it touches to bleach out it is color, which could cause you to have results that you will find unpleasing at best. Some dandruff shampoos integrate a chemical called ketoconazole which may be employed as an effective scalp acne treatment. Always be sure to use a good shampoo and conditioner before the treatments to insure a healthful head of hair.

Home treatments for scalp acne must only be attempted in mild cases. Always consult either your necessary physician or your dermatologist when you have scalp acne which is moderate to severe. Your physician may be capable to prescribe a medication which will offer numerous relief with the more severe outbreaks. You may get a prescription for an oral antibiotic such as erythromycin or tetracycline, or a topical antibiotic to treat the skin for contagions which make the scalp acne thrive. Or you may be prescribed a topical steroid to treat the outbreak of scalp acne.

If you have never been diagnosed by a proper medical practitioner as to having scalp acne, do not try any treatments of any type until you have been seen. It is of the utmost importance that a proper diagnosis be made before any scalp acne treatments have been utilized. Other scalp conditions exist, and you could potentially make them worse with the improper treatment. If you do not have a regular dermatologist, your physician may refer you to one to get support with your scalp condition. It is only then that any scalp treatments for acne must begin.

Helped my sensitive skin!
By Amy
I bought this product to deal with some mild acne around my chin. I also get the occasional painful cyst-type acne (I am in my mid 20′s and this is a recent development).I have pretty sensitive dry/normal combo skin and other treatments I have tried have just made me peely and flaky.

I have been using the treatment for a month. At first the treatment was a little drying so I went to using it every other night and now I am applying it every night following it up with moisturizer. My skin is DEFINITELY clearer. The product is easy to apply, soaks into your skin pretty quickly and is unscented (a huge plus!) It is still a little irritating everyonce in awhile but I have not had any ridiculous peeling/redness. I’m still not sure how it will be under my makeup wearing it all day.

Overall, I am impressed with this product, it has helped out my skin!

Best B.P. I have ever tried.
By Future Mrs. H
I was so depressed when I was using Neutrogena’s 2.5% benzoyl peroxide because my face would always be a dry, peeling, flaky mess no matter what moisturizer I used!! This product is much better. It is still drying, as any B.P. treatment is going to be, but it just glides on so much smoother and is considerably less drying. I get a little bit of dryness but not the peeling, awful-looking skin I had. On top of all of this, it works wonderfully! I feel like my skin actually looks not only clearer but healthier and more vibrant!
