Neutrogena Oil-Free Stress Control 3-in-1 Review

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

The Neutrogena Oil-Free Stress Control 3-in-1 is a product that you can buy over the counter. It has its advantages and disadvantages just like any other acne cream does. It is important for you to read through this to determine if this product will work for you.

Advantages

It is considered one of the best that you can buy over the counter. Its main advantage is that it helps prevent acne from emerging. The main way of accomplishing this is by unclogging pores and wiping away dead skin cells.

Another major point in favor of this particular Neutrogena product is that it smells great. It smells better than quite a bit of other products used for a similar purpose.

Disadvantage

The fragrance in the Neutrogena 3-in-1 is very pleasant but it also can irritate the skin of some people. You are fair warned that it could cause allergies so if you are prone to allergy to fragrance it may not be the best solution for you.

There also is the concern about how it has silicone in it. This is another possible skin irritant for some people. Furthermore, Neutrogena 3-in-1 may not be useful for all skin types.

Usage Tips

Since it is oil-free Neutrogena 3-in-1 is best used on people who have oily skin. Otherwise, it may strip away the skin’s natural protective layer, or it can dry the skin. Be very careful if you have sensitive skin as this may not be the right product for you, although it is fairly mild.

Alternative Method: Review of Alabu Goat Milk Soap

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

There are so many different methods of clearing acne that it would be impossible to find time to review them all. Alabu goat milk soap is one of those that is questioned lately.

It is used for a variety of reason and has some benefits. It also has (very few) drawbacks. Please read for further information.

Pros

According to one user, significant change was noticed after a week of using this soap. Even the pain that accompanied previous acne breakouts went away. This same user then gradually increased usage of soap to once in the morning and once in the evening.

When used in moderation it can smooth and clean the skin quite nicely. For the result it produces, this soap is quite inexpensive at only 10 dollars, approximately.

Cons

If this product is used more than two times a day it can dry out the skin. It also is not meant to be a permanent solution for clearing acne problems. It could possibly harden the skin if used too often. The availability of it is also limited, but it can be delivered to numerous geographical locations.

Before you Buy

It depends upon what type of acne and how severe it is if this soap will work. If you have a very severe cystic or inflammatory acne problem you may need professional medical attention.

Seek a dermatologists’ advice if you think your problem is serious enough. Furthermore, if you have dry or sensitive skin this product is probably not recommended.

Stridex Fruit Therapy Maximum Strength Acne Cream Reviews

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Since Stridex Fruit Therapy Maximum Strength Cream received 29 votes on Acne.org so far, I thought it would be wise to share with people the pros and cons about it. This would help you gain a balanced perspective of this acne cream in general.

Pros

It works pretty fast. In fact, more than one person attests to having been able to achieve drastic reduction of pimples overnight. The supply lasts quite awhile too-up to a year for some people.

Another person who uses this product mentions another good quality about it. It is one that goes on smooth and works well with makeup.

Cons

One of the major cons about using this particular Stridex Fruit Therapy product is that it is very hard to find now. There must be a reason for this and this issue deserves further investigation.

However, several consumers insist that it has worked for them. Several consumers are wondering why it is not as easily accessible as other products that may not even work as well.

Availability

The Stridex Fruit Therapy product is usually only available online now. You could possibly search for it at individual department store websites too. However, the easiest way to get your own would be to order it from an online vendor.

PanOxyl Acne Spot Treatment 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Review

Friday, January 15th, 2010

PanOxyle is an acne post treatment that is designed for people who need maximum strength control. This product has in it the active ingredient Benzoyle Peroxide, which is often used to penetrate the pores of the skin.

It also clears all acne problems and helps prevent new blemishes form occurring. This is a product that is probably recommended for people whose skin is oily or normal versus dry.

If a person with dry skin uses it, or a person with sensitive skin, it could cause irritation or rash. It could in this case also worsen the acne because the natural protective layer of the skin is then stripped off.

However, a person who has either oily or even normal skin probably can use it for the face as well as the chest and neck areas. In any case, it should be kept away from the eyes, lips, and mouth.

Warnings

In addiction to redness or irritation PanOxyl can cause skin peeling in some individuals. Burning, itching, or swelling could occur as well. The way to combat these potential problems would be to use less of this product at a time.

The most important warning of all is this: Do NOT swallow! If you do, especially if you react to it, get medical help immediately. Call the poison center too, if necessary. Even if you do not notice a reaction you should still seek help right away incase of delay reactions.

Carley’s Clear & Smooth Skin Treatment Review

Friday, January 1st, 2010

Carley’s Clear & Smooth is a skin treatment you may not have yet heard about. However, that does not mean it is a “bad” product. In fact, consumers have given this product some very positive reviews, and of course pointed out its flaws.

Pros

It works well for skin problems that occur during rare times. One consumer says, “Works fine for me.” This person known as Anono has trusted this product for two years.

Furthermore, it is a great scrub. It gently exfoliates the skin. It works well for clearing acne and moisturizing the skin and clears acne as you commit to a regular cleansing regimen.

The corresponding daytime moisturizer also works wonders. One person who has used this product for four years says, “I couldn’t be happier.” Another person who used it for over two years was also very pleased.

Cons

One of the only “cons” is not really a “con” at all. One person who tried this product just wished it was made before wasting money on another product called Accutane. Oh well, that is the way things goes, but at least this person did find the right solution eventually.

Furthermore, some people who have used to broke out terribly. Carley’s is a product that also made people’s skin oily, or sometimes just did not plain work.

Furthermore, one person who used it says, “I think your skin gets immune to it and it stops working.” This person had found some use for it, but not as much as others would.

Tips

In order to make the most of this product you should just find out what is your skin type before using it. That will ensure that it is right for you. It is more of a moisturizing agent, so it probably would be more appropriate for people with dry or combination skin.

Clearasil Ultra Acne Treatment Cream Vanishing Review

Friday, December 25th, 2009

You probably have heard of the Clearasil brand more than you have heard about many other acne skin treatments. This brand is very popular for a reason-because it works well for clearing both mild and moderately severe cases.

Pros

People have used this particular Clearasil product (the Ultra Acne Treatment) because it works on all zit types. For instance, it actually helps clear whiteheads, and even some blackheads and cystic acne.

Results for people have been noticed in as little time as two days. “Good stuff in my book!” That is the remark of one very pleased consumer. It works the best probably on people with oily skin.

It works great considering it is an over the counter drug. It works well for even inflammatory stages of acne that are very hard to eliminate.

Furthermore, it does not take this product very long to dry after use. This makes applying it with makeup much easier.

Cons

This product is a bit harsh than others, and it can burn the skin of some people. It could dry out the skin. Furthermore, it might take a little bit more of this solution than another to clear up skin pimples and blemishes.

Furthermore, although it works in some more severe instances it may not work for “full blown” acne that has spread all over your face or body. Overall, though consumer satisfaction indicates this product does more good than bad.

Tips

The best way to find out if Clearasil Ultra is the right acne treatment for you is to seek some practical advice. You should also find out what your skin type is before using it. Your dermatologist as well as written advice can assist you with this.

If you have the right skin type it will probably work very well for you. However, you should be careful if you have more sensitive skin.

Clean & Clear Advantage Invisible Acne Patch Review

Friday, December 18th, 2009

People use all kinds of products to help clear up acne. Some solutions are more effective than others and are appropriate for certain conditions.

The Clean & Clear Advantage Invisible Acne Patch is one remedy that is used more often. The main purpose of this product is to provide support for people who have sporadic blemishes, but not problems that would occur over the entire face.

Pros

The Clean & Clear Advantage patch has some advantages. For instance, it does help smooth the skin. This makes it easier to apply make-up products afterwards.

It also dries quickly and has an ingredient in it called salicylic acid, which is believed to be good for the skin. This substance does come from nature and it helps reduce aches and pains. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect.

One other major “pro” related to this product is the cost. For a more professional type of treatment the cost is not bad. It is about $10.00 for this solution. Corresponding products also can be found which are used for a variety of purposes.

Cons

This product does have a few disadvantages, though. For instance, it may be harsh on certain skin types because it does have alcohol in it.

Other potentially irritating ingredients are also present in it. It may also not be appropriate for all skin types for a variety of other reasons, such as the fact that it does have a tendency to cause skin dryness.

Sometimes people may also have a problem with the patch itself. Occasionally it might fall off before the user experiences the full affect of the solution applied to the skin.

Conclusion

The Clean & Clear Advantage Invisible Patch probably works better for people who have oily skin, since it is a stronger formula. If you have dry skin it is not recommended that you use products that have alcohol in them.

However, in order to get a more accurate recommendation you may want to consult a dermatologist or doctor. You should also make sure you that the acne you experience is not for any other reason-such as a health complication you may not yet know about.

You also should be aware that there is more than one type of acne. This product is probably meant for use on some of the more milder forms that appear on the face most often.

Realize also that use of this product should be only periodic. In order to keep your skin totally free of blemishes you need to take care of your body.
