The Perfect Acne Treatment Cream

An acne treatment cream needs to be customized for the person using it. However, there are some properties that all acne creams should have. They should be: 1. Non-comedogenic, 2. Moisturizing, and 3. Acne fighting. The only thing that varies from cream to cream is the strength of the acne fighters; the richness of the moisturizer and the ingredients that are used, which should be known to not clog, pores.

To understand how to find good products, natural or otherwise, online, you want to get information to:

By sticking with oils that are non-comedogenic (does not clog pores) you can have more confidence in using the product. Most cold creams are made with a combination of oil and either beeswax or lanolin. If you add acne fighting ingredients like tea tree oil, lavender oil, or lemon oil, you can get a nice, highly moisturizing cream that won't clog the pores and smell nice too. However, it's important to note what oil is being mixed with the beeswax or lanolin. Cocoa butter, coconut oil, and wheat germ oil have a high clogging probability and should be avoided in acne treatment cream products. On the other hand, almond, olive, and avocado oil are all non-comedogenic and can be used without worry.

Moisturizers, such as Skin So Silky, are important for all types of skin. Some moisturizers are deeply penetrating, like olive oil, while others are less so. If your skin is black or very dry, using an olive oil based cream can help to deliver the acne fighting ingredients deep into the skin. If you have normal skin, using sweet almond or jojoba oil might work better.

The acne fighters can be all natural, as in the case of tea tree and lemon oil, or they can be proven over-the-counter medications. Many people use salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide in their acne treatment cream. However, it is suggested that about 3% of people who try benzoyl peroxide can end up having an allergic reaction to it. This is why skin care products, even natural ones, can be highly individualized. Someone may have intense reactions to almond oils (a nut) and not suffer any ill effects from olive oil. Know your allergies and stay away from products that can trigger them.

Use your acne treatment cream as the final step in an in-home facial acne treatment for to treat acne while moisturizing. By taking care to use products that meet specific guidelines, you can come one step closer to healthier and acne-free skin.
