Cure Acne Review

Searching online for an acne cure can be something of a minefield. We tend to be bombarded with so many different treatment programs it can begin to make our heads spin. In order to try and help simplify the process I have decided to write this cure acne review on what I believe are the best acne remedies currently available on the market. I have researched the credentials of their creators, examined the systems themselves and taken the time, via acne forums and blogs, to try and get as much feedback as possible from those who have used the programs.

No cure acne review can be written without mentioning Acne No More. It is the No.1 online acne cure program and certainly the most talked about. Creator Mike Walden has worked in the health industry as a nutritionist and medical researcher for over 14 years. Such was his success in fighting his own personal battle against acne that he decided to release the Acne No More system. He describes it as an "Acne Bible" and believes it is the most comprehensive guide to acne freedom you will ever read.

So, does it work? Having examined the program I have to say it is indeed a very detailed and precise guide. It is not just an acne relief program but a total holistic cure system, this means it looks to not only eliminate the symptoms of acne but also remove the underlying causes. The theory being that rather than achieving short term success, sufferers can look forward to a long term permanent cure.

It is difficult to find anyone who has anything negative to say about Acne No More, of course there are as you would expect plenty of glowing testimonials on the Acne No More website. Looking around the various acne forums and blogs it would also appear most only have good things to say about the program. Apart from a few dissenting voices, it seems the vast majority of acne sufferers are very satisfied with the results they have achieved through using the Acne No More system.

Another program that focuses on a natural, holistic approach to curing acne is the 14 Days Acne Cure system. As the title suggests it involves a 14 day diet plan to help your body detox and remove acne causing toxins as well as a skin cleansing program. This is all achieved without the need for harsh chemicals or drugs and so eliminates the possibility of any side effects.

Although I feel it is not as comprehensive as the Acne No More program it has still proved to be a popular system. The ideas and concepts presented are sound and should work for most acne sufferers. Having said that some users have reported that expecting to be acne free after 14 days may be a little overhyped, all our bodies are different and some will take longer than others to achieve the desired results.

Acne Free in 3 Days has certainly created something of a buzz amongst those looking to cure their acne. The main question being of course is it possible to cure acne in 3 days? That has not proved to be an easy question to answer. Whilst researching this review I have found mixed responses from users of the program. Some claim it is a miracle cure, others have reported seeing an improvement in their condition while there are those who suggest it has no effect and isn't worth the investment.

The system is based on the idea that acne is caused by an unhealthy colon and a form of yeast known as candida albicans. Although this yeast occurs naturally the system suggests that an excess of candida albicans in the body are a common cause of acne. Again this system works on the theory of detoxification and also a certain amount of fasting (which I believe makes it unsuitable for younger acne sufferers), the idea being that over a period of 3 days you will allow the body to rid itself of acne causing toxins. In conclusion I would have to say Acne Free in 3 Days won't work for everybody, if you follow the program I do believe you will see positive results, just not in the timescale stated.

So there we have it, these are by far the most popular acne cure systems available online today. You will probably have noticed whilst reading this cure acne review that they all follow a natural, holistic approach to curing acne. The holistic approach is now considered one of the most progressive ways of tackling the acne condition.

Acne Medication - Research of Side Affects

Acne is an extremely common skin affliction affecting around 85% of teenagers and young adults as well as a significant proportion of adults.

With a plethora of acne information available, it may also be difficult to establish what is the right treatment and/or medication.  In a previous article I suggested that as all of us are individuals, it is likely so to will the treatment for each person’s acne.

Let’s delve a bit further into treatments and medication.  In the case of mild or even slightly worse acne, a good preventative and treatment regime if rigorously followed is often found to control the affliction.

However there are obviously sufferers with severe acne where over the counter or non prescription treatments have not had the desired impact.  Whilst I would suggest in this instance finding a reputable dermatologist you will likely find that an acne treatment regime still has a place in assisting the overall treatment.

It would be extremely advisable for those prescribed medications for the more severe acne affliction to carefully research the medication prior to commencing.  The clear example of this is the medication for “recalcitrant modular acne” being Isotretinoin (marketed as Accutane, Amnesteem, Claravis & Sotret).  The US Food and Drug Administration provides significant information in relation to this particular drug however in short it is known to cause birth defects and is being examined in relation to reports of suicide or suicidal thoughts associated with the use of the drug.

A Risk Management program called iPLEDGE in relation to this drug is in place with information and updates available.

The program is ensuring adequate controls are in place in relation to the use of this drug and the important message is “Do not purchase this drug over the internet”.

There are a range of prescribed medications available with those applied to the skin for more mild to moderate cases and oral medications for more severe.

Some of these include:

• Oral antibiotics
• Oral contraceptives
• Azelaic Acid
• Benzoyl peroxide
• Clindamycin
• Erythromycin
• Sodium sulfacetamide
• Tazarotene
• Tretinoin
• Adapalene

The message is still however to do the appropriate research as information on some drugs may change significantly over time.

Summary
Whilst medications are vital in the treatment of a significant number of conditions aside from acne, it is always wise to research the medication to allow a balanced approach or weighing up the benefits prior to commencing.

This is obviously extremely clear in the case of the drug Isotretinoin for severe acne.
