Acne affects almost everybody at least for some part of their life. It is common
during adolescence though it affects many into late adulthood. It causes much
disturbance and may sometimes cause depression and low self esteem. The individual
affected by acne usually frequently washes the affected area, tries different soaps
and other home remedies which rather than reducing acne may worsen it. Following
are few tips to be followed for control of acne.

Consult your dermatologist in case you are affected with acne. Do not wait for acne
to aggravate. Many over the counter drugs are available for treating mild to
moderate acne like benozyl peroxide acne lotion, salicylic acid acne lotion,
triclosan acne lotion, chlorhexidine gluconate acne lotion etc. Benzoyl peroxide is
considered to be the best over the counter product. However it may be noted that
self medication can be potentially dangerous and it is prudent to consult a doctor
before medication.

Do not wash the affected area too frequently as it depletes skin oil. The blockage
which is the cause of acne is too deep inside to be removed by washing. Luke warm
water is better suited for washing the skin. Hot water is to be avoided.

Changing soap frequently is a sure way to aggravate acne. Using a mild moisturizer
and acne cleanser goes a long way in controlling acne.

There are no magic cures for acne. The usual time taken for acne to subsidize after
acne treatment is begun is between 4 weeks to 6 weeks. Results are noticeable only
after 2 weeks. It is essential to complete the medicine course and be patient for
the results. It is prudent to continue applying acne lotion after acne has
subsidized for a week at least.

Taking food supplements like acuzine is beneficial for the skin as well as body.
Its ingredients include anti-oxidants, Vitamins E &C, hydrolyzed collagen, ALA,
DMAE, Aloe vera, Bioperine etc. The effect of these ingredients is to strengthen
the skin.
