Dr. Murad’s Acne Complex
All over the world so much research has been done to curb acne because it makes beautiful faces ugly and full of black prominent spots. Very many researches have been conducted and a few have tasted success. One of them is Acne Complex.
Before getting into the details of Acne Complex, we need to know more about acne.
Acne is a skin disorder that usually happens when a person is in the teens. During that particular period of life, in both male and female bodies, Androgen, a male sex hormone, increases. This increase of Androgen does not necessarily happen in everybodys body. But in whosever’s body this increase happens, it causes overproduction of sebum and keratin. This results in clogged pores of the skin and infection. This is called acne. In the case of acne the hormones can create acne beyond teenage years. Especially among women this trend is seen.
Dr. Murad’s Acne Complex says that 3 simple steps, 2 times a day can reduce and clear your skin in 4 weeks. Seeing the popularity of Acne Complex one can understand that Acne Complex is certainly effective.
In the Acne Complex kit there are 3 items. A Clarifying Cleanser, an Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel and a Skin Perfecting Lotion. The direction of use is given in the Acne Complex kit. Otherwise you can learn it on the website of Acne Complex. You can even order Acne Complex from their website too

Be care to whom you listen. It is not caused by chocolate candy or tomato's or anything you eat. Washing our face a hundred times a day just dries out your skin. It is caused by heredity
and a bacteria, known as Propionibacterium acnes, is a normal inhabitant of the skin. It uses sebum as a nutrient for growth, therefore increases in follicles during puberty. People with acne have more Propionibacterium acnes in their follicles than people without acne. The presence of bacteria attracts white blood cells to the follicle. These white blood cells produce an enzyme that damages the wall of the follicle, allowing the contents of the follicle to enter the dermis. This process causes an inflammatory response seen as papules (red bumps), pustules, and nodules. The bacteria also cause the formation of free fatty acids, which are irritants, increasing the inflammatory process in the follicle.
The washes you see really do little if anything but you can try Accutane (keeping in mind there have been problems with it-mental problems and suicide).
Antibiotics work by several mechanisms. The most important is the decrease in the number of bacteria in and around the follicle. Antibiotics also work by reducing the irritating chemicals produced by white blood cells.
Finally, antibiotics reduce the concentration of free fatty acids in the sebum, also reducing the inflammatory response. The most frequently used antibiotics for acne are : Tetracycline, Erythromycin, Minocycline, Doxycycline and Clindamycin.
The only other thing "I" would recommend is Retin-A and it is not going to do what you want it to do. However, trust me when I say these washes do and can not work!
The best thing you could do is see a dermatologist. God bless you and the Southern People.

I'm almost 14 and i've been dealing with acne since i was 11 years old. I have tried HUNDREDS of different creams, ointments, etc. etc. NOTHING WORKED! I completely hated my skin. I've been to doctors before but they only gave me a couple topical medications. But 2 days ago I went again and my doc prescribed me Minocycline. Just 2 doses and my skin is already looking better! Your best bet is to go to a doctor/dermatologist and ask them if an acne pill is right for you, you'll be happy you did!. Good luck!

I have used accutane & I recommend it only if you have sever acne that leaves scars like I did. The side effects are bad & there are a lot of risks. You dont want to risk getting pregnant when taking it as the baby will be badly deformed. However after a lifetime of bad bad acne that I wasnt just going to outgrow I dont regret taking it, it does work. NOTHING that can be purchased that you put on your skin really works for bad acne, believe me I tried everything.

There are many types of treatments. There are creams, pills, do it yourself, or natural remedies. As to what type to use, it all depends on the money you are willing to spend. I have heard that proactive works, but there are other remedies you can use with the stuff around your house!
A great article about it at: http://www.theknowguide.com/acne-7.html

proactive is great but it can get pricey nd also u hav to check whether or not u are allergic to benzoperoxide
for overnight spot treatment, use mario badescu drying lotion which can be found at www.mariobadescu.com
if u opt for the less expensive method, clean nd clear products work as well

Avon's Clearskin line is fantastic in dealing with these problems. You must follow a skin care regimen, cleansing, toning, and moisturizing, etc. twice daily.
