Avoiding Oily Skin And Beauty Products

Although there are various factors that cause acne, oily skin is considered one of the primary ones. Acne arises when oils produced by the sebaceous glands (sebum) near the hair follicle build up within the pores. This oil then gathers with dead skin cells and clogs the pore, serving as a hospitable environment for bacteria. The combination of bacteria and this sebum mixture causes the pores and surrounding tissues to become inflamed. A natural way to reduce acne without medicinal intervention is by avoiding oily skin and beauty products. There are many options for this. All individuals must do is carefully read labels on products for phrases such as 'oil-free' or 'designed for oily skin.' While no one product will work for everyone, implementing strategies like this are great ways to start.

Isotretinoin

We know most cases of acne can be resolved with common treatments such as benzoyl peroxide, clindamycin, and salicylic acid. However, there are severe cases of acne that do not respond to most treatments. In these cases, isotretinoin can be used as an effective method to dramatically reduce severe acne, including severe cystic acne. Isotretinoin belongs to a class of drugs called retinoids, which are related to vitamin A and regulate epithelial cell growth. It works by altering the size of the sebaceous gland and reducing sebum production. Studies have shown it reduces sebum production by ninety percent or more. It's available through prescription only in doses between .05-1.0 milligrams. Patients taking it are recommended to avoid also taking supplements containing vitamin A during treatment.
