Millions of people have suffered from acne during their teenage days. Some of them, particularly women have suffered a prolonged acne problem beyond teenage. So much has been discussed and invented to wipe off this menace from the face. In fact very few experiments have been successful.

The newest on the block is acne light therapy. The acne light therapy is based on a device. The device in the acne light therapy attacks the bacteria in the clogged holes of the skin. The bacteria live below the skin surface. Porphyrin, a metabolic by-product of the bacteria is sensitive to lights. The acne light device works on those porphyrins. A very sensitive blue light is released from the acne light device. When the prphyrins come in contact with the blue light they produce oxygen within the acne. This oxygen kills the bacteria. This is the basic technique of acne light therapy.

Acne light therapy is effective up to four months. Acne light therapy reduces acne up to sixty percent. The whole process of the acne light therapy takes fifteen minutes. There have been no side effects reported. The success of the acne light therapy depends on the type of acne. Along with the therapy you need to take proper care of the skin.

How many of us have been awake to see the late night infomercials on acne medications that are supposed to have been developed by some brilliant doctor selling for $39.95.

Then there are millions of books as well as countless articles that boast that they have discovered the magical acne cure. Lets not forget the natural acne cure recipes that can be downloaded for only $9.99. There are also those infamous best acne treatment lists or the “we have the cure for acne” sites that get peoples attention because of the definite need.

Don’t get me wrong. I am not at all a skeptic, I just know that what may be a cure for one persons acne may only be a treatment for someone else’s. One person may be allergic to some home remedies for acne while others respond well to laser treatment. Everyone needs to find a treatment that is best for them.

The best treatment for some people is to use laser surgery. This is often expensive and not covered by insurance because it is considered cosmetic. I have met people that were happy with the results. They felt more confident and the results were immediate where as using acne medications took time.

Many people opt for the expensive over the counter acne products and medications. This choice seems to work best for them and they are patient and when they see results they are happy and if not they are open to other forms of acne treatment.

Watching those late night infomercials with the before and after photo shots and tearful testimonials is very convincing. I mean some of these products are reasonable while some are not but it is worth a try for people who have been plagued sometimes for years with this unsightly and uncomfortable skin condition.

Then there witch hazel, benzoyl peroxide and many others that you can get over the counter in most drug stores to use for an acne treatment. People that suffer with mild cases of acne respond well to common natural acne treatments . Natural acne treatments are a favorite for some because they are less abrasive and rejuvenate the skin.

There is an acne treatment, medication or product on the market that has worked for someone at some time or another. All acne treatments work for all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time but never all of the people all of the time. So people need to research and try many available acne products and acne treatments until they find one that works well for them.

I have added this blog to the website in hopes that anyone with a question about acne will post it here to let me try and research an answer for it (or hopefully we’ll have other members who can contribute as well).

Also, anyone with any acne-related tips for other acne sufferers will post those as well to help out other folks. I hope we can make this a really “user friendly” place to visit on a regular basis.
