| Given that acne is by far the most common
disease in the world, I’m constantly surprised at the amount
of misinformation there is about acne treatments. There are so many
commonly held believes regarding treatments, which have no scientific
or medical validity, but continue to be passed on from individual
to individual. More worrying is the possible consequences of trying
some of these options. Here are list of common acne treatments that
categorically do not work:
1. Household cleaning products, even when
diluted, should not be used to treat acne. There can be severe adverse
reactions including chemical burns from pursuing this route
2. Similarly cleaning powders are ineffective
for acne
3. Washing up liquid does not work for acne
4. Home facial saunas will do nothing for
your acne, but will certainly aggravate, already sensitive skin
5. Sticky tape left on the skin overnight
and removed in the morning will certainly remove dead skin cells
and excess oil, but is likely to damage the sensitive skin, and
may cause an allergy to the glue
6. Prolonged exposure to the sun or using
a sun bed will not help your acne, and can be dangerous if you are
also taking oral medication of certain types. For example taking
certain antibiotics in tablet form, will make your skin highly sensitive
to sun light
7. Sudocrem is an excellent treatment for
nappy rash, but highly ineffective for acne, primarily because it
contains a mixture of greases and oils which are bad for acne
8. Taking high doses of vitamin A or B will
not directly help your acne, and may cause other side-effects
9. Squeezing your spots is universally not
recommended in combating acne. Doing so will prolong and spread
the acne to other parts of the affected area
There are many other ‘not recommended’
acne treatment regimes, many of which will worsen an already difficult
condition. Avoid these shortcuts and stick with a programme overseen
by your medical professional, or one which is based on solid scientific
and medical evidence. If you do this, you'll succeed in overcoming
your acne condition.

If you are embarrassed by your acne or afraid
of scarring, Actimine is a natural solution that contains PROVEN
ingredients to help you reduce breakouts and clear up your skin.
Actimine is a product that most people could
describe as being a very popular one simply because of the results
it has behind it. There are some products that are overhyped and
some that are not hyped enough in the acne industry, but Actimine
truthfully is probably somewhere in between. It is one of the best
rounded products in the entire industry because of all of the contingencies
the creators built into this product when they first brought it
to the market.
