OTC Acne Solutions: Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Complete Acne Therapy System

Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Complete Acne Therapy SystemIt seems after ProActiv came out with their acne treatment system, more similar products follow suit and are even pitching themselves as "better than ProActiv". Either ProActiv was really effective or really popular, and they are banking on it to catch people's attention.

One such anti-acne system is Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Complete Acne Therapy System. Neutrogena is a popular line of skincare products and the brand alone is enough advertisement already. 

But the question is, is it really better?

Most of us know that Salicylic Acid and Benzoyl Peroxide are two of the top anti-acne active ingredients that are used to treat acne. Salicylic Acid declogs the pores, neutralizes the bacteria that causes acne and promotes skin peeling while Benzoyl Peroxide is an effective antibacterial compound that can zap pimples instantly. A lot of anti-acne products contain either one of the two, but rarely both.

And that's the gap that Neutrogena's Advanced Solutions Complete Acne Therapy System filled. This system uses both Salicylic Acid and Benzoyl Peroxide to get rid of acne. It comes with 3 separate products: skin polishing acne cleanser, sun shield day lotion and overnight acne control lotion.

The Skin Polishing Acne Lotion contains salicylic acid and microfine beads to exfoliate the skin, preventing excess dead skin cells from clogging the pores and allowing new skin to surface. The Sun Shield Day Lotion has SPF 15 and DermaNaturals, a proprietary botanical complex that soothes the skin and promotes cell growth for healthy young-looking skin. The Overnight Acne Control Lotion contains benzoyl peroxide to kill bacteria and treat inflamed breakouts while you are sleeping.Together, they provide a complete anti-acne solution that is guaranteed to prevent and fight acne.

Natural Acne Solutions: Honey

It has been said that honey inside sealed Egyptian jars have remained unspoiled for thousands of years. This is because honey absorbs moisture, living no room for mold and bacteria to thrive and it also has antimicrobial properties, which prevents it from spoiling. During the early times, honey has been used to treat infected wounds and heal burns. Ancient Egyptians also used it for embalming the dead. Today, medical experts are rediscovering the potent antibacterial and antiseptic properties of honey. For those who suffer from acne, the word "antibacterial" is also almost synonymous to "anti-acne" because acne are skin inflammations that are most often caused by the bacteria trapped in the skin. And honey, being a natural antibacteria that it is, can indeed help in clearing up one's face with acne. However, not all honeys are the same. Maybe you've heard or read honey being termed as raw, comb, crystallized, etc. What you would want to use on your fac...

OTC Acne Solutions: Clarisonic Plus System & Spot Therapy Kit For Face and Body

This is what people is saying about Clarisonic Plus System & Spot Therapy Kit For Face and Body : "The Clarisonic Plus utilizes the same technology as the Sonicare toothbrush. It uses vibration to penetrate the surface level of the skin and provide a more thorough cleansing than with soap and water alone. I've used this system for 2+ weeks and noticed a difference in the texture and softness of my skin immediately. After 3 days, I saw a visible difference in the size of my pores and my skin has a glow that wasn't previously there...One benefit is that your skin care products will last longer if you are using the Clarisonic Plus. I find that I am using less cleanser, moisturizer, etc because my skin is cleaner and has fewer layers of dead skin cells so products are absorbed into the skin much better than before. For example, I apply a mask each week of bentonite clay and apple cider vinegar that normally warms and tightens as it dries on the skin. After using the Cla...
