treatments for acne

Acne is a chronic skin disorder characterized by blackheads (open comedones), white- heads (closed comedones), papules, pustules, cysts, and/or nodules. We look into the top topical treatments for acne.

Acne can be embarrassing and uncomfortable. Luckily, there are a number of tried and test, at-home treatment methods that have proven to be effective.

Acne breakouts often occur because of changes you’ve made to your daily routine. Maybe you’ve started using a different laundry detergent, shampoo, face cream or soap. These are often the biggest culprits of an acne breakout. If you want to keep your skin clear and radiant, avoid breakouts by following these 15 simple tips.

If you’re experiencing breakouts, try eliminating one or two foods at a time (eliminate dairy for one week, greasy foods the next etc) to see if removing these foods helps to keep your skin clear. If you want to make sure you don’t breakout, avoid all of these foods altogether as much as possible.
