My first encounter with acne medicine, if you will, happened when I was twelve years old. My grandma just saw a big bubble and swelling on my cheeks. Looking at my horrible face, Grandma alerted me to her medicine cabinet and confessed, "Put some turpentine soaking in to suck the poison". And follow the tree prescriptions I made.
Of course, turpentine is not an FDA-approved acne drug, but by the next day, the swollen gland has been leveled into healthy skin.
Not all zit stories end with a happy ending.
Many people who suffer from acne do not respond to pustule insecticides such as benzoyl peroxide or antibiotics. And so researchers work hard in the lab and challenge acne-prone skin stamina with other acne prevention. However, this summer, a new group of acne therapies can make acne retreat from the skin.
Decrease the dose of isotretinoin
For starters, doctors may soon prescribe acne medications that are usually reserved for the worst case of cystic or nodular acne, isotretinoin, for mild and moderate acne cases. Last June, a study was published in Dermatologist Reviews found that with low dosing regimens, isotretinoin may reduce the possible side effects of isotretinoin, such as liver damage and extreme dryness, while still effectively treating acne.
Bio-identical acne prevention agents
Although the acne effect is isotretinoin by reducing the secretion of face oil and the amount of bacteria, a patented bio-new product called phytosphingosine (PS) can combat acne by reducing inflammation causing inflammation.
Phytosphingosine (PS) is a fat found in the upper layer of the skin called the stratum corneum. According to reports in Malaysia International Journal of Cosmetic Science, a skin-like version of phytosphingosine shows antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties on the skin. Researchers suspect that this new anti-acne fat may complement topical acne treatment.
Low contraceptive pills
If topical acne-filled acne cream is not enough to soothe acne, women can improve their skin care regime with contraception. And with the advent of a new hormonal agent called drospirenone, women may enjoy less acne and longer periods.
The doctor may prescribe a mixture of oral contraceptives spiroline and ethylene estradiol to female acne patients at the age of 35.
Like spironolactone, drospirenone helps control acne by reducing androgenic hormone activity such as excess oil production. However when drospirenone removes spirolakton in a contraceptive pill, women experience better acne control and lose weight and menstrual pain, while enjoying a healthy birth control.
While I do not anticipate acne derivatives such as acne-stealing turpentines that control spot light from isotretinoin, phytosphingosine, or birth control pills, I do predict that in the next generation, the various causes and contributors to acne lesions will continue to confuse scientists and keep our cabinets alive the right acne antidote. At the same time, "Thank you grandma."
