Some of the acne drugs have been known to have very serious side effects.Many of these drug companies make so much money selling these drugs that they really do not care or even bother to deny any of these side effects.
Some of the serious ones are depression and thoughts of suicide.One of this acne drug causes the retina to become rough leading to blurred vision which can often cause permanent loss of vision.These are just a few of the side effects and the list is much longer than this.The minor side effects are a myrriad of complications of dryness of skin, nose and eyes to headache, nausea, diarrhea and hair loss. Vision is something we would not want to tamper with and if the continued use of these drugs would deprive us of it then it is a high time to rethink our acne treatment regime.
There are other ways to cure acne which are much gentler to our bodies and give us the same results if not better because of fewer side effects.
A study conducted by Dr.Jennifer Gan-Wong, with the Memorial Medical Center in the Philippines,showed that 3% cream of green tea cream used in the treatment of moderate to severe acne has been shown to fight bacteria, reduce inflammation and decrease hormonal activity.These three characteristics make green tea an acne panacea and an excellent therapy for the treatment of acne.
Dr Gan-Wong presented her team’s 12 weeks findings at the American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting.The test was done using a 3% geen tea cream extract versus a 4 % benzoyl peroxide cream.
The data suggests that the green tea cream lightened the skin color, improving the overall appearance of their complexion and it caused fewer side effects.There were fewer reported cases of dry skin, itching and allergic reaction.
These natural products are less toxic which will be appealing to the millions of Americans who suffer from acne breakouts, a condition which affects nearly 85 percent of the U.S.population and has a detrimental affect on self-esteem and well-being.
