Acne free treatment has been out there for quite a long time. These include applying ointments, taking medication of different kinds, even performing surgeries, and finally using home products.

To cure acne, four things are very important. They are manipulating the hormones, killing the bacteria, preventing blockage from the skin of the pores and acting as an anti-inflammatory agent. In most cases, all the conditions need not be met, and acne can be cured by a combination of two or three of these characteristics. However, the needs vary from person to person.

Ointments provide exactly this kind of relief. They have chemicals that act according to the demands of the acne problem, and provide the homeostatic correction that is necessary. Most ointments come with money-back and instant result guarantees that make them very attractive investments for consumers, however results are usually short term and take a longer time.

Apart from ointments, antibiotic creams can be applied externally. However, if the pores of the skin are unclogged, then the anti-bacterial cream is unable to penetrate to the acne and this form of treatment is useless unless used in conjunction with pore opening agents.

Another alternative is to take oral medicine (antibiotics), which will provide internal relief from the acne bacteria. However, it is important to note that these too must be used in conjunction with hormone balancing medications in order to provide long term relief from the bacteria.

Surgery is yet another remedy for acne. Usually employed in the form of laser surgery, the purpose is to oxidise the acne bacteria, thus killing it and treating the acne scars as well. However, a major problem is thermal overheating of the skin which can lead to other problems.

As we can see, acne free treatment comes in many forms and ways. Choose the one that’s right for you.
