What acne alternatives are available?

You should also know that like most medicine there are some acne alternative products that contain the same basic ingredients but the price varies greatly. Read the labels, learn what the active ingredients are and first try the less expensive version of the product to see if it works for you at all. If the cheaper medicine worked, then you can go for more expensive stuff.

Ask for help a professional naturopath. They have regiments of vitamins, herbs and gentle cleansers that can be very effective. For example, you would be surprised to know that a popular acne drug Accutane is actually derived from ordinary Vitamin A. Some naturopaths make their patients take vitamin A in high doses, and along with other vitamins and herbs this treatment can be very effective without the dangers of Accutane. This is especially important for girls, because if you become pregnant while taking Accutane it can result in serious birth defects.

Light therapy is one of the most promising acne alternatives. With the application of red and blue ultraviolet light for a set amount of time each day acne can be cleared up. You can go to the esthetician for the treatment. But it is easier and cheaper to purchase a device online that safely emits this type of light. It usually costs about $200.

And the most important thing is persistence. If something didn't work for you, it doesn't mean that nothing will work. Find information about as many acne alternatives as possible and eventually you will find one that will clear up your face.
