I have tried all the most common acne treatments, sometimes combinations , at the time I was suffering; some worked some didn’t, when I say work I mean for a week. It is only when I was getting better I discovered what worked and what didn’t and that was too late because the scars were already there. I don’t want you to be in the position I was in i.e confused about what to use, so I’m going to provide information about the best treatments that work on minor acne to severe problems.

WHAT CAUSES ANCE?

Primary Causes of acne?

The first main causes of acne is the excess oil (sebum) due to an increase in androgens (lot of hormones) at puberty and than the bacteria follows, they work hand in hand.

The second is abnormal keratin (oil to lubricate the hair) production in the hair follicles.

The third is inflammation

Secondary causes of acne?

* I noticed that the more junk food i ate the more worst the condition got, my conclusion is that junk food can contribute to Acne.

* Muscle enhancers : also contribute to an increase in Sebum which leads to an increase in Acne because of the effects they have on hormones.

Now that we know that oil and the hormones are the main factors and than bacteria follows, the main thing would be to try and eliminate the oil first and the rest will follow.
