These days, we can find a lot of acne alternative treatments on the market, all purport to clear up your skin at once. A lot of Internet sites show full of pages of testimonials from persons who have used the treatments and been cured. And some of them have been. The trouble is that an acne alternative that works for one doesn't work for another. It does not matter what the claims of the various stores who put up for sale skin care products, facials, and nutritional regimens to clear up your skin, until a particular treatment is tried on an person, nobody knows whether it's going to do much good. Sorry to say but, that means it's hit or miss for most of us.


Once you've gotten fed up with the antibiotics, topical treatments and Accutane offered by your dermatologist, where do you begin? Or, maybe you never wanted to go that direction in the first place. You have to start somewhere, whatever drove you to seek a non traditional acne alternative.


The first thing to do is discuss with others. I am pretty sure that you know somebody who have experienced acne and cleared it up or who have it presently and are in the process of clearing it up. Learn from their experience. Take notes. Then try some of the things that have worked for them. Hope for the best, but understand that it could take some time before you find the right combination of products, treatments and lifestyle changes that will suit you and help you the most.


Another thing is that some acne alternative products with the same basic ingredients can be sold at a very different price. Learn what kind of active ingredients the products are made with and try the less expensive versions of them before you pay for the more costly ones.


It's also a great idea to seek the help of professionals. Naturopaths have regimens of vitamins, herbs and gentle cleansers that can work wonders. The high-priced prescription medicine Accutane is actually derived from plain old Vitamin A. Under a naturopath's care, you can take high doses of Vitamin A for predetermined periods, along with other vitamins and herbs and potentially clear up your skin without the side effects of Accutane, which, if you are female, can consist of birth defects in your children should you become pregnant while taking the drug.


A promising acne alternative is light therapy. For many, acne is cleared up with the application of red and blue ultraviolet light for a set amount of time each day. You can buy on the Internet a device that safely emits this type of light. The cost is about $200. This is a cheaper alternative to attempt before visiting an esthetician who has comparable, more powerful equipment.
