Accuzene Acne Vitamins (aka – Acuzine)
August 21, 2007
Acuzine is a natural vitamin for fighting acne. Unlike creams used to resolve acne problems Acuzine is herbal and can fight all levels of acne from mild to severe. All Acuzine ingredients are natural and it’s safe and works very quickly. What’s more, unlike a lot of “health food” product, Acuzine won’t break your bank.
Acuzine is made up of antioxidants that help destroy harmful free radicals, which can bring on infections. Acuzine naturally and effectively treats inflammation and rids your face of spots, zits, puss, blackheads and whiteheads. It also reduces your facial redness. No one has ever reported a side effect from the use of Acuzine vitamins to fight acne. It can be used by adults and teenagers. Not only do the vitamins fight acne, they also reduce facial wrinkles and improve your skin tone. Within two or three months virtually one hundred percent of acne sufferers that use Acuzine acne vitamins reported success.
The active ingredients in Acuzine acne vitamins are Vitamin E; Dimethylaminoethanol Bitartrate, better known as DMAE; alpha lipoic acid, also known as thioctic acid; Ascorbyl Palmitate, which is better known as L-Ascorbic Acid; the leaf of the aloe vera plant; hydrolyzed collagen; bioprene, also known as piper nigrm; and Ubidecarenone Co-Enzyme Q10.
Vitamin E, the most prevalent of the active natural Acuzine ingredients, is a powerful antioxidant. It helps fight free radicals that try to attack your skin cells and can damage the skin as well as contribute to the onslaught of cancer and heart disease. Vitamin E also gives Vitamin C a boost in its effort to protect our bodies against virus-driven illness.
Thioctic acid is an antioxidant as well and can travel easily throughout your body because it is both water and fat soluble. It is highly effective in thwarting the inflammatory affect of certain forms of acne and reducing its redness when irritated. Scars can be prevented and even reversed with the use of this natural acid. ALA, the shortened name for Thioctic or Alpha Lipoic Acid, helps your body recycle the antioxidants produced by ingestion of Vitamin C and Vitamin E. As a result these vitamins are even more effective against acne and other illness. Along with fighting acne, ALA gives your body more energy and can even ward off HIV to some extent.

Clearing up Acne With Anitbotics
August 21, 2007
Antibiotics can and do often clear up acne, although you can often resolve the acne problem with topical over the counter products. If this doesn’t work, or if your acne becomes inflamed you should see a physician about a treatment of antibiotics. There are three important processes that antibiotics cause in your skin to help resolve your acne problem.
The most important effect that antibiotics have on your acne is to reduce the follicle bacteria that cause it. Antibiotics also reduce the chemicals that white blood cells produce that act as a skin irritant. Antibiotics will also reduce your skin’s free fatty acid concentration, which helps reduce inflammation.
Tetracycline and its derivatives is the most prescribed acne-fighting antibiotic. But you must not take it if there is any chance you are pregnant, or if you are nursing your baby. Generally a doctor will start you off with a twice daily dose of 500 milligrams and then cut that in half when your acne is noticeably improved. Tetracyclines must be taken on an empty stomach, which can be a hardship for a teenager. For many, then, tetracycline is not the best choice for fighting acne.
Erythromycin fights inflammation more effectively than does tetracycline, and it can be taken with food. In fact, that’s recommended as it can cause nausea or an upset stomach. Generally you’ll take 250 to 500 milligrams twice each day.
If you have pustules your doctor may prescribe minocycline twice a day in dosages of 50 to 100 mg. Its side effects are nausea, dizziness, change in skin pigmentation, vomiting, and discoloration of teen. The tooth and skin coloration issues are primarily seen with patients who have been taking it for a very lengthy time period, however.
Doxycycline can be prescribed safely if you don’t respond to erythromycin or tetracycline or can’t take one or the other. You’ll usually take it twice a day in a dosage of 50 to 100 mg. You must take it with food or you’ll be nauseated. The caution with this acne antibiotic, however, is that you sensitivity to sun will increase and you’ll have to be careful not to suffer sunburn.
Clindamycin is an acne antibiotic that can be either topical or ingested. Most doctors will prescribe a topical clindamycin cream. This antibiotic can cause pseudo membranous colitis, a severe infection of the intestine.
Dorrx Acne Pills
August 21, 2007
Doryx acne pills are antibiotics that treat not only acne but other infections as well. In fact, doryx is used as a preventative for malaria. Doryx acne pills are part of the tetracycline family and must be prescribed. Doryx works by stopping bacteria growth or killing the bacteria that’s already present. In its prevention of malaria it blocks parasites. Doryx doesn’t work against viruses.
While Doryx treatment against infection is generally 200 mg a day, it can combat your acne with a dose as mild as 50 daily milligrams. You must take at least eight ounces of milk or water with your Doryx acne pills and ideally you should stand or walk for at least 30 minutes after your swallow the capsule. Sitting is acceptable too. What you don’t want to do is lie down immediately after because the Doryx can irritate your esophagus. Never chew your Doryx acne pills. The best time to take them is in the morning but always right before, during or after a meal. Doryx on an empty stomach can be a painful experience.
If Doryx is prescribed for acne you’ll probably be taking it for as many as twelve weeks. With an infection the higher Doryx dose is generally only consumed for one or two weeks.
There are some reasons why you wouldn’t want to treat your acne with Doryx pills. If you are allergic to doxycycline or any tetracycline you won’t be able to take Doryx. If you weren’t aware of an allergy but start feeling short of breath while taking it, or start wheezing or having trouble breathing, it may be an allergy. Stop taking it and call your doctor. Other allergy symptoms are swelling of parts of your body. Most commonly the swelling occurs on your face in such areas as the lips and tongue. You might get a rash or hives and your skin might itch.
If you are already taking any prescription or preparation that contains Vitamin A or etretinate or isotretinoin you should not take Doryx acne pills. You must absolutely avoid Doryx if you are 18 or more weeks into your pregnancy or if you are breastfeeding. Tetracycline can cause loss of enamel in a baby’s teeth as well as yellowing. It can also cause undue pressure on the infant’s brain. If the dose is high and you’re pregnant your liver could be adversely affected.
Be aware as well, that taking antacids, bismuth sales and iron within two hours of ingesting Doryx acne pills can interfere with your body’s ability to absorb the Doryx.
Nodulocystic Acne Vulgris
August 21, 2007
Acne vulgaris is the most common form of acne, the one that affects nearly 85-90 percent of teenagers and young adults. There are many forms of treatment for acne vulgaris, many of these sold over the counter and quite effective, unless the acne develops into a severe form such as nodulocystic acne vulgaris. Read more
Zinc and Comoedomal Acne
August 21, 2007
The acne treatment you choose depends on how severe your acne is and whether it's inflammatory or not. Comedonal acne is not generally inflammatory. While zinc is not contraindicated for the treatment of comedonal acne without any inflammation, the property which recommends it for acne treatment is its anti-inflammatory capability. This makes it somewhat pointless as a treatment for most comedonal acne.
If your comedonal acne is mild first try a daily application of some retinoid topical cream that will modify your skin’s abnormal keratizinization of follicles. Azelaic acid, salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, all over the counter products, might also be effective. Surgery may be helpful as well, if these treatments don’t resolve your comedonal acne problems.
If your comedonal acne has some inflammatory aspects – and that is possible – zinc oxide combined with nicotinamide and folic acid can help with the inflammation. It is also an effective treatment for rosacea and acne vulgaris.
If your comedonal acne is moderate – that is, a little worse than would be considered mild - you would treat it as you do mild cases, except that the topical products would be applied twice daily rather than once. You might also try a combination of salicylic acid, retinoid acid, azelaic acid and benzoyl peroxide, but you may find that it irritates your skin.
If your comedonal acne is severe the topical products aren’t wrong to try, and certainly if inflamed at all the zinc oxide combination as well. You may need acne surgery, however. Another option would be isotretinoin, especially if open comedones are predominant on your skin. There are some drawbacks to the isotretinoin treatment, however, and it’s definitely contraindicated if you are pregnant or may become pregnant.
Isotretinoin is a synthetic retinoid to be taken orally. It is prescribed generally for patients whose severe acne doesn’t respond to oral antibiotics. You’ll more than likely take one half or one mg a day for up to five months. While this doesn’t “cure” your acne it does put it into remission long term. You may have to have one or two subsequent treatments to keep your comedonal acne at bay. While medical professionals have determined that isotretinoin does inhibit the gland’s sebaceous activity, they don’t fully understand why it works on comedonal and other forms of acne.
Microdermasion: Does It Take Away Acne Pits
August 21, 2007
Microdermasion, perhaps most commonly known as microdermabrasion, is a procedure that can help remove acne scars. The microdermasion process involves abrading or pealing off your skin’s stratum corneum. This is the superficial layer, and the process prevents any damage to any skin layers that are deeper. Microdermasion is effective in reversing facial defects due to overexposure to the sun, the aging process and mild scarring from acne. The procedure is very safe and totally painless, but there are some details you should be aware of before undergoing this procedure. Read more
