Acne can be a very frustrating part of your life an embarrassing source of social anxiety. Acne is generally brought about by hormones that cause an overproduction of oil in the sebaceous glands and hair follicles, resulting in potentially painful blemishes and pimples. Regular cleaning is the best way to confront acne, but there are a number of other factors that can influence acne, such as hygiene, germs, hormonal imbalance, and stress.

When pores get clogged, acne can often be experienced, particularly in teenagers. Unclean, oily skin is the most common cause of acne, and the condition can be made worse by skin-care products that increase already oily skin. Depending on you type of skin, too much washing can also be counterproductive. Make sure that you know the best ways to treat acne before trying, as more than one or two washes a day can irritate and worsen breakouts.
Most acne treatment products come in the form of gels, lotions, pads, and cream. Benzoyl peroxide cleaners are a widely used form of acne treatment, which when used one a day at first can significantly decrease acne. But although benzoyl peroxide is an effective option, many people have difficulty using it due to its irritation and stinging effects. Some people also experience dry or peeling skin, so if you have sensitive skin be sure to test the product on a small area before using the treatment thoroughly.
Salicylic acid products are another form of acne prevention and treatment. Salicylic acid treatment works by exfoliating and unclogging pores. These products generally come in the form of skin wipes and rubs and can often be used several times throughout the day. Although less problematic than benzoyl peroxide in terms of skin irritation, salicylic acid can cause some discomfort. Regardless, these products are recognised as effective cleansers that clean pores, remove excess oil, and kill bacteria.
A number of products are also available that combine their anti-acne effects with a blend of oil-removing ingredients, cleansing compounds, and antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory agents that treat bacterial infections, reduce sebum production, and stimulate healthy cell growth. These products are commonly gentler than a strictly benzoyl peroxide treatment, which can be more effective more some, but less potent for those experiencing sever acne breakouts.
