Acne Treatment for dry skin

Posted: Nov 20, 2009 |

I've tried a lot of different over the counter and prescription acne products. I tried Proactiv, it made my skin break out worse because of my sensitive skin. I had acne through puberty and an additional 10 years after – which more recently was hormone related. I tried eliminating dairy due to the hormones added which worked for a few days, but the acne came right back as if my body had just adjusted to it. Toothpast helps dry out existing acne, but not preventing it. I had been to a few dermatologists but they just wanted to dry my skin up to the point it was flakey all the time or red with rashes. I did a lot of online research and tested many many products of my own, I can tell you that there is no pill or cream out there that you can use overnight or for a week and it will forever get rid of your outbreaks.

I finally discovered something that I believe has not been widely publicized because no company can patent it and make lots and lots of money off of people like you and me. It's a vitamin called Pantothenic Acid – a fancy name for Vitamin B5. Go ahead and Google it…you will see a lot of references to curing acne. I was skeptical as with everything, but my skin has never been so soft and clear since I was probably 12 years old.

The one thing you have to remember when taking this vitamin supplement is that you must take it in high doses. You can buy it at any vitamin store like GNC, but only buy it in 1000mg (1gm) per pill strength. I found it online the cheapest on Amazon.

To start, the recommended program starts you out with 3-5 grams a day for about 5 days. This helps your body get acclimated to the vitamin. You should start to notice a difference after 2 or 3 days, smaller pours and healed blemishes. After 5 days increase your dosage to 10 grams a day. I know it sounds like a lot to take 10 pills a day, but think about how much you want clear skin and that should get you past it (break it up in 3 or 4 doses through the day). The recommended program has you taking 10 grams for 3 months before backing off to 3-5 for maintenance. I actually only took 10 grams for a month and now am just maintaining with 5-6 grams a day and its working just fine. I have missed a few days of pills and immediately started to breakout again so this is one of those things you must be faithful with.
Expect to shell out about $25 a month on 1000mg Pantothenic Acid. A small, small price to pay when you think of all the money wasted on the products out there.

There are very little negative side effects. The only thing I would recommend is to take 3 pills with each meal, and one with a snack, otherwise you may get a little gas or slight diahrea. Nothing major though and by taking with meals it eliminates that problem.

If I was selling this, I would guarantee results, but I have nothing to gain by giving this valuable information out. I hope you try this program and are as successful as I was.

    If you are one among the many thousands of teenagers or adults that suffer from acne infections on your torso, you have probably been looking for information on how to eliminate acne on your back. Large and aching cysts under the skin, general tenderness and redness and even pus filled pimples and sores are all signs of acne on your back. This condition is usually called bacne to differentiate it from face acne.

    Nobody wants to be spotty. It is a universal truth. Regardless of how old we become--bad skin, be it the rare zit or full blown acne--is shameful. Acne, in particular, can be a problem for us for much longer than we had counted on when we first entered puberty as young adults. For a long time we've covered our faces with high-priced chemicals and products hoping to keep the acne far from us. But what if you could clear up your skin in much easier and less harmful ways?

    No one really wants to be affected with zits. It really is just the simple truth. It doesn't matter how old we become, zits, pimples, acne -- terrible skin in whatever form it takes -- is embarrassing. Acne, in particular, can be a plague for us for considerably longer than we had counted on when we first entered puberty as young adults. We spend years slathering ourselves with every chemical and acne fighter we can find.

    No one wishes to be seriously affected with spots. It is a universal truth. It doesn't matter how old we get, zits, pimples, acne -- bad skin in any form it takes -- is shameful. Acne particularly can plague us for far longer than we had planned when we were young adults entering puberty. For years we have covered our faces with high-priced chemicals and products aiming to keep the acne from us. What if you could assist your skin without having to be forced to take that type of drastic action?

    Acne Vulgaris or commonly known as acne is a skin illness usually appears during our teenage years when one's hormones and skin oil glands are most productive. It may result in a great deal of changes not just in a person's physical appearance but psychologically at the same time.

    The perfect complexion of childhood never stays that way once your age is into double figures. That's a fact to be faced. But your aim should be to keep your complexion as perfect as possible.

    Acne is a major skin problem that can appear at the onset of puberty, and usually disappears with out a trace on its own. However, you should take appropriate care. For example, have blackheads removed regularly by a professional who will also open and disinfect pimples.
