The Pros and Cons of 3 Crazy Acne Treatments

If your acne problem is bothering you so much that you have begun to search for solutions on the web, you may have arrived at a point in which you’re willing and ready to try anything. Remember that not everything published on the internet is safe or reliable information, and could even be more damaging than it is helpful in the end. Do not try any strange acne treatments before rigorously investigating their effects or consulting an acne dermatologist.

For starters, you’ve probably been hearing all the talk about one bizarre acne treatment since the smashing hit movie “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” arrived on the ‘big screen’. From the media to your own home, the hope that acne can be solved using crazy treatments you had never thought of is being put to the test.

Windex, Egg Yolks and Snail Secretions as Possible Acne Treatments

While “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” popularized Windex as an emergency acne treatment, the use of this household cleaning product on your sensitive facial skin may not seem like the best idea. It’s certainly true that Windex contains alcohol and ammonium hydroxide, which are both components that could help you dry out your skin. The downside is that they may also cause irritation, leading to red blotches and rawness in the face.

In more personal settings like grandma’s kitchen, you may have heard of yet another home acne remedy. Due to their high Vitamin A content, egg yolks have frequently been recommended by dermatologists who believe that this vitamin serves has an effective natural acne treatment. This acne treatment is thought to be successful, but it requires a solid dedication to preparing and applying the egg yolk mask to your face on a daily basis, waiting for it to dry, then following up with a facial cleanser and toner.

Neither of the two crazy acne treatments mentioned above are proven to be truly effective, despite their fame on the big screen or throughout history.

A few scientific labs, however, have recently discovered a strange ingredient used as the base of an organic acne treatment cream that has been thoroughly researched and tested in trial examinations. The secret behind this natural acne treatment is extracted from small brown garden snails without doing any harm at all to the creature. Numerous molecular and cellular processes natural to the snail extracts cause regenerative effects when applied to human skin.

Such a reaction is possible because the exact same fluid used by the snails happens to have similar properties and structural elements to those of the human skin: collagen, elastin, water holding molecules (to protect and repair their skin, organs and shell whenever they are damaged). Even while the snail serum treatment may be (by far) the most bizarre thing you have ever heard, it has actually been clinically proven to work.

Just when you thought all hope was lost, a recently discovered, all-natural acne treatment gel has been scientifically proven as an effective natural acne treatment cream that won’t cause negative side effects. BIOSKINCLEAR is a state of the art acne treatment product that uses snail serum extracts as its medicinal base, providing a safe and organic option for the treatment of acne.
