What Body Acne Treatments Are Effective?
I have personally struggled with body acne for most of my life - at least since I was 14 or so. And I have been through every type of product imaginable. I have figured out both on my own and through trial and error what body acne treatments work, and which ones don't.
For mild to moderate cases of body acne or body acne that is hormone related - ladies I know you know what I mean - there are two main ingredients that really work. You can either get salicylic body acne products or you can get benzoyl peroxide based products. They both work pretty well.
The product pictured below is by Murad (a leader in pimple treatments) and is a good example of a treatment with salicylic acid. One of the reasons that I like this product is because it is in a spray form. That makes it easy to use right after you shower, and I have found that using a salicylic treatment is one of the most effective acne treatments out there. This to product has a 360 degree spray nozzle which makes it easy to apply to your back. You can expect to see significant clearing from this product in about a week.
For daily treatment, I prefer salicylic products to benzoyl peroxide ones as they are gentle to your skin and more effective.
Is there any way to cure body acne?
One of the only body acne treatments that is effective permanantly is accutane. If you decide to go this route it is a decision that you should not take lightly, as it has a lot of side effects. Accutane is a prescription drug that is prescribed by a dermatologist. It should only be used in the case of severe acne. But with that being said nothing is as effective as this drug in treating very severe acne cases. If you are interested in Accutane check with your dermatologist for details.
How to know what body acne treatments to use.
If you have severe acne make sure you check with your dermatologist. Ask about Accutane and about other options. For mild to moderate acne some of the best acne products are available over the counter. Look for the active ingrediant sallicylic acid to know that you are getting a quality product.
To your clear skin!
