detoxification, garlic, increased water intake, the cabbage mask, and plenty more. These natural medications can actually work to your advantage if used properly and wisely. But remember that recklessness in this, much like driving, will do you no good. So it is best if you do your research first and check the possible side effects before trying any of these remedies on your skin.

The first thing you need to know before you try any of those home remedies for acne is your skin type. Remember that not all skin is created equal so it is safe to say that not all acne remedies will also work for you. There are four basic skin types: normal, dry, oily, and a combination of two or more (this means that some areas of your skin are dry while others are oily). Needless to say, medications for oily skin will not work for those with dry skin, and vice versa. Hence, if you use the wrong medication, you might actually exacerbate the problem.

Usually, one experiences side effects to medication because their skin is not compatible with any of the ingredients of the drug they are using. Because people tend to be really excited about having clearer skin, they fail to review what’s in their acne remedy; as a result, their condition worsens and they are pushed back to square one of their treatment. Learn what ingredients are inside your home remedy so that you will know if it works with your skin type or not.

Lastly, do not hesitate to check with a dermatologist first. If after extensive research you are still uncertain about whether or not the home remedy you chose works for you, you can always ask a specialist. Most dermatologists frown upon the idea of home remedies for acne for some obvious reasons, but there are still others who support this. Also, they are the best people to help you determine your skin type. Remember that knowing your skin type is the initial step and must never be skipped.

Home remedies for acne can really be effective and economical, but if they go wrong they can really increase your problems to massive proportions. Patience is a virtue that carries a lot of weight; be patient with your treatment and do your homework first. You likely have already suffered for months, or even years, a few days of research won’t hurt.

for their anti-aging creams, but recently they have thrown their hat into the acne arena. This will be an honest review of the natural Acnezine acne treatment offered by this company.

Does Acnezine Work?

The answer is yes, but as always with these acne treatments there is no guarantee that it will work with your specific type of acne. This is why there is so much frustration in the skin care market. We are all different and we all have different skin. So something that worked perfectly for your best friend might not work at all for you. That being said, acnezine appears to work for a lot of different people. The fact that it is made of natural ingredients means that there are no side-effects. This treatment is definitely worth a try.

Is Revitol a Legitimate Company?

Any time you go to purchase something online you want to make sure you are working with a trustworthy company (this is especially true when dealing with health products). I’ve taken the time to look this company up in the Better Business Bureau (BBB). The BBB measures customer complaints and how the business responds to these complaints and assigns out a grade (A through F). Revitol received a B which according to the BBB means the following:

B's get degrees.

For some reference, Exposed acne treatment received a C grade (up until recently it was an F). Proactive received an NR for no-ranking. They would probably be around a B or a C in our opinion. Most acne companies are probably given a grade below B. In other words, this is a strong indicator that Acnezine is not a scam.

Acnezine Pricing

The beginning price is $39.95 for one month. However, if you decide you like the product then you can get 6 months’ worth at about $27 a month. You can also buy this product on Amazon. Don’t be fooled that the prices are cheaper there though. People are offering only half of the product at cheaper prices. The prices at Amazon for the full product are the same as they are if you buy the product through acnezine.com.

One Website to Avoid

Acnezine.net falsely claims in their video that you can get a free trial bottle and all you have to do is pay for shipping. This has not been our experience. They have a link that says, “Free Trial” but this just takes you to acnezine.com where you have to pay full-price. You’ll probably want to avoid working with that site.

Please share your experiences with this natural remedy for acne below. You would be surprised at how much these can help other acne sufferers.

are three home remedies for acne to add to your arsenal. Keep in mind that healthy living along with a good remedy can make a drastic change for the better in your acne.

Intake foods that have some zinc in them. According to a friend of mine in the health profession, zinc is great for managing acne. He explained to me that zinc helps keep our sebaceous glands under control and it also helps keep bacterial counts low. For those of you who haven’t heard about sebaceous glands you’ll probably want to know that many people attribute acne formation to the excess amount of sebum oil produced by the sebaceous glands. If zinc could help manage this problem, then surely it would help with pimples.

Eat foods that are high in sulfur like garlic and onions. Sometimes I have to laugh when people ridicule home remedies for acne saying that they are not powerful enough. The truth is that many of the most popular over-the-counter acne treatments available have sulfur in them. Don’t believe me? Take a quick trip to the supermarket and look at ingredients of some of the acne treatments. I’m betting that you’ll see some sulfur on there. That’s why they all smell a little off.

Monitor the amount of milk you are drinking. There is no conclusive evidence that milk causes acne, but there is some evidence and there is some good logic behind it. Those who believe that milk causes acne claim that the hormones within the milk are the culprits. Cows are often injected with extra hormones so that they will produce milk, and plenty of it. It’s probably a bad idea to completely take milk out of your diet. You need the calcium; however, it might not be a bad idea to see if your drinking a lot of milk or if you could find some additional calcium sources to supplement your milk drinking.

Live a healthy life and use acne home remedies to get rid of those pesky little pimples. Good luck!

First off, the people who give this advice are usually the people who don’t actually suffer from acne. They just see people who do suffer from acne touching their face and so they somehow draw some random conclusion that touching your face must lead to acne. That is not how the scientific method works my friend.

Secondly, what about those people who have huge whiteheads that are just dying to burst open everywhere? You’re telling me that these people just need to ignore those giants and head out into public? I don’t buy it. I’ve tried this myself and I’ve seen other people do it. What happens when all of a sudden the huge whitehead breaks? This isn’t good for self-esteem or morale. Plus it’s just unsightly to see people’s faces oozing white pus everywhere.

For these two reasons I’m a huge believer in touching your face and cleaning out your zits (you can call it popping them if you want). Now, the key is to have control. You shouldn’t be touching your face all day long, but it might not be a bad idea to have a set time in the morning or in the evening where you clean out some of those whiteheads. If you have a scheduled time like this then you can clean your hands, pop the zits, and then apply some sort of home remedy for acne to the infected area. After the cleaning session, avoid touching your pimples until the next designated time.

Even with set pimple cleaning times, there may still be times during the day where it is appropriate to touch your face. For example, maybe a large whitehead develops during the day (in my opinion a quick trip to the bathroom to clean it off, is much better than just letting it sit there looking extremely weird in public).

On my home remedies for acne blog I get a lot of opinions about how acne should be treated. I for one think that touching your face is okay (even desirable) as long as you aren’t doing it all day long.

Home remedies for acne were being used way back centuries ago. During this time people of different races and civilizations were affected with the acne disease. However every civilization was unique in the herbs and preparation that they were doing to stop or control the spread of the disease.

First in our list of ancient home acne remedies is no other than the Aloe Vera acne mask; it was popularized by the Egyptians to both cure and prevent acne. They did it by rubbing the Aloe Vera extract onto the face where acne is present and they did it on a daily basis until the acne was gone.

Second is orange and lemon fruit, these fruits both possess some degree of acidity which is good for bacterial acne related problems. Their acidic content contains some strains of bacteria that can help because acne is killed by the citric acid of those fruits.

The third in our list are the herbal plant leaves of strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries. These leaves inhibit the formation of acne in the face and some claim that they also help in reducing the size of the acne. To prepare you need a handful of leaves and a teapot with hot/warm water. You first clean the leaves and then mix the leaves together with the hot or warm water in the pot, wait for a couple of minutes until the leaf extract is out in the leaves then afterwards you drink it, treat it like tea.

These herbal plants are just some of the examples that can treat your acne just follow the steps and do this religiously. Natural herbal remedies usually take a long time for the consumers to see the result they desire.

In older times people attempted to resolve their problems of acne by bathing, washing, or rubbing herbal extracts and leaves into their body. Even though there are a lot of herbs, fruits, or sometimes animal extract that people used to treat acne, there is one type of herbal medicine that caught my attention, tea tree oil. Tea tree oil is an interesting natural remedy for acne because this plant has an enzyme named terpinen-4-ol . This enzyme has anti-bacterial properties which can kill a wide range of pathogens. Getting rid of pathogens is a proven way to help fight acne.

This oil is very flexible when it comes to curing a wide range of bacteria related acne diseases. There are several different types of acne, and this oil can help cure many of them. It is interesting to note that this oil is sometimes used to cure upper respiratory tract infections. The fact that this oil helps cure bacterial infections shows that it is capable of killing a wide range of bacteria. Even though it’s a natural remedy making it at home is almost impossible because making this oil requires a long process and an expensive gadget. This just illustrates that not all natural remedies are necessarily home remedies. In order to be considered a home remedy for acne, making the remedy should be simple (in should only consist of pounding, boiling, or steaming).

Still Interested in the Tea Tree Oil Remedy?

To make this tree oil remedy work is not difficult after you have purchased the oil. You simply take a cotton ball and apply the oil on the face where there is acne and leave it there until it dries. Do this religiously to acquire the effects that you desire. Because this is a natural remedy, it will definitely take time to see the results. It is important to remember that natural remedies take time because they are natural. Overnight cures are not natural, because the body takes time to adjust.

We realize that the treatment expressed today wasn’t necessarily one of our normal home remedies for acne, but we thought that our readers might find it interesting. If you are looking for strictly home remedies, feel free to read some of our other articles.

Black Heads: These bad boys come from the skin’s own pigment reacting with the air. In some cases, they aren’t extremely visible to others, but this type of zit tends to hang around for a long time.

White Heads: These occur when sebum (oil) is trapped in the pore. In many situations, whiteheads aren’t the worst type of zit to have; they can be fun to pop and they are often small enough that they aren’t visible to others.

Papules: We refer to these as the red pimples that don’t have any white in them. They are usually larger than white heads and trying pop them won’t do you any good.

Pustules: These are a lot like Papules (in that they are bigger than white heads) the difference being that these do have white in them and can be popped (hurray!).

There are more severe types of pimples then listed above, but we don’t recommend home acne remedies for the severest type of acne (in those situations it is best to contact a dermatologist).

Home Acne Remedy – Oatmeal

Many people claim that you can use oatmeal to help cure your acne. This is ironic as some experts claim that eating grains can cause acne.

Applying the oatmeal – You prepare the oatmeal as you would when you are going to eat it. After it is prepared, make sure to let it cool until it gets to a lukewarm state. Apply the oatmeal to your face. At this point you just wait for the oatmeal to start drying out. Once the outer layer of oatmeal has crusted a little (this usually takes about 15 minutes), you wash it off with warm water. Repeat this night and day.

We personally aren’t going to try this one out. Although it may work, who wants to spend all that time cooking oatmeal, applying it, waiting for it to dry, and then washing it off? If you’ve tried this or are planning on trying it, then please let the Home Remedies for Acne Guide know if it was successful or not by posting a comment below.

I, the author of this site, plan on personally testing some of these home remedies, unfortunately I too still have a few zits (although they will come in handy for purposes of this website). I realize that everyone has different skin and so it is important that everyone remembers that results will vary—in fact this is the case with all acne medicines, not just home treatments.

To combat the fact that not everyone has the same skin, I will also be scouring the Internet for other reviews on the particular home acne remedy that I am researching.

Let’s get started!

Home Acne Treatment #1  (Toothpaste)

The treatment goes that all you need to do is take the toothpaste and dab the paste on top of the pimple. Most people seem to recommend leaving it on for only a few minutes (10-20 minutes) because of the potential to chemically burn your skin. After the time is up, you simply wipe off the toothpaste with water.

Other Factors: Some people say that the type of toothpaste doesn’t matter. Others claim that you need to avoid any sort of special toothpaste (i.e. gel and whitening toothpastes). They recommend trying regular Colgate or Crest toothpaste.

Our Findings: This isn’t going to “cure” all of your acne problems. Applying toothpaste does appear to reduce inflammation on a swollen pimple. Applied regularly toothpaste appears to dry out the zit, but don’t count on any miracles here.

As with all home remedies for acne we suggest you be careful about what you try. If you are having a photo shoot the next day, then we don’t recommend experimentation. However, if tomorrow isn’t the biggest day of your life, then why not experiment and find out what works best for your skin. Toothpaste does seem to help for some people; however, be careful because some people report awkward looking red marks after use.

For myself personally, I’ll only use toothpaste if I find myself in a situation where I don’t have other, safer acne remedies that I’ve already tried. That being said, toothpaste has reduced the inflammation on my own pimples and worst case scenario it gets me to stop picking at them because I don’t want to get toothpaste on my hands.?
