Outside: Topical Acne Fighting Ingredients

Nature’s Cure combines the power of proven treatments – salicylic acid and Benzoyl Peroxide acne medicines - with the gentleness of natural ingredients for acne products that are tough on acne, but easy on your skin. Both salicylic acid and Benzoyl Peroxide acne medications are considered to be among the best over-the-counter acne medicines available because they treat existing blemishes and also help to prevent new acne from forming. Nature’s Cure offers a complete line of acne treatments with either salicylic acid or Benzoyl Peroxide acne medicine as an active ingredient. Learn more about each of these excellent acne-fighting ingredients below.

Benzoyl Peroxide acne medicine destroys P. acnes, the bacteria that cause acne inflammation, and rids the skin of excess oil and dead skin cells that can clog pores. It is important to use Benzoyl Peroxide acne medicine everywhere you tend to break out, not just on existing pimples, as the pore-clogging

process can start weeks in advance. Although higly effective, some people have shown a sensitivity to Benzoyl Peroxide acne medicine when it is first used. If you’ve never used a Benzoyl Peroxide acne product before, it is best to start with a small amount and slowly increase your application from once daily to several times per day as your skin adjusts. If you follow this gradual process, you can avoid too much irritation and still get the benefits of acne-free skin. Nature’s Cure includes soothing botanicals in all of their Benzoyl Peroxide acne products to help counteract the Benzoyl Peroxide acne medicine’s drying effects. Also, take care to wash your hands and avoid getting the product on towels or clothes as Benzoyl Peroxide acne products can bleach fabrics.

Salicylic Acid slows the over-shedding of cells so that pores remain clear, and helps release blocked blackheads and whiteheads to speed healing and prevent new pimples from forming. Also an exfoilant, salicylic acid promotes skin cell turnover and rejuvenates the skin for a radiant complexion. Even those with more sensitive skin can usually tolerate salicylic acid acne treatment products, although it is always a good idea to test your skin with a small amount at first.  And, unlike Benzoyl Peroxide acne products, salicylic acid products do not stain or bleach fabrics.
