Finding the Best Skin Care Products For Acne

Ohhhh, that stupid acne! It’s likely that 85% of us men and women have experienced acne to some degree. Some of us, however, haven’t just experienced it, but SUFFERED through it – this definitely includes me, who dealt with pizza face and Mount Fuji-sized zits for many years.

Back when I was a teenager (no it wasn’t too long ago) there weren’t many acne treatments on the market, with the notable exception of prescription medications like Accutane (Isotrentinoin) and Tetrocycline (and antibiotic), and a handful of OTC acne treatments like Clearasil. Now, however, you just about have 1001 “best skin care products for acne” available to you. Finding the better ones through this marketing haystack is the key to successful acne treatments, or more suffering. The question isn’t “is there anything that can even help me?” anymore – the question is now: which of the hundreds of products are the best skin care products for acne?

This is why I, the acne guy, developed my site. Sure it’s in its infancy, but it’s slowly growing into a site devoted to providing you, the acne traumatized, with information and reviews to help you decide which of the best skin care products for acne just might work!

It wasn’t until I was about 17 before I decided to try and destroy my acne (by then most of the emotional damage had been done – oh well). After trying some over the counter treatments, I went for the big one, and got a prescription of Tetrocycline (which didn’t quite work for me), and then switched to Accutane. It worked, but wasn’t a very pleasant experience. I will always suggest you first try something a bit simpler and safer, prior to going to the doctor. If those don’t work, then work your way up the acne treatment ladder. Why, you ask? Those particular prescription medications came with some disturbing side effects, such as “peeling lips” (where you literally peeled layers of skin off your lips – and left them raw, only to have to do it again later, or risk walking around with shredded lips. I know, disgusting). Or other issues like severe sun-sensitivity. And if you’re pregnant, forget ‘bout it.

So, in my recent study and research for the best skin care products for acne, I came across a few acne care systems that seemed to be the most popular among the rest for acne sufferers. A few of the products I mention have review pages to help you decide on the right treatment. Also, you’ll find plenty of coupons and discounts to help save you money.

Some of these products include:

1) The Murad Acne Complex
2) The ever-popular Proactiv Acne Solution
3) The Hollywood Treatment - Mario Badescu’s Acne Control Kit
4) And finally, the Skinceuticals Acne Care system.

As stated earlier, there are many products to choose from. The four above are a few that have been proven to work. However, as always, results vary per individual. To view more of the best skin care products for acne, please visit me through my signature below.
