Own Natural Acne Treatment

One time I had a really good friend with a really bad acne problem. Sometimes he would pop his pimples and they would bleed all over the place. Other times he would leave them and they would fester and turn yellow. No matter what he did his acne would always come back to haunt him.

I have also experienced my fair share of pain from acne. I had it pop up before parties, dances, dates, and every other time you don’t want a pimple. I searched long and hard for an acne cleanser that would work and had very mixed results. So I decided to make your job finding an acne treatment a little easier by looking into Own Natural Acne Treatment to find out how it compares to other leading brands.

How Does Own Natural Acne Treatment Work?

Own Natural Acne Treatment is a four step daily regimen that was created to clear up your skin. The four products can be purchased separately or all together. Here is how they break down:

• Own Purifying Face Wash: gently massage it onto your face and then rinse thoroughly. Designed to clean your skin without removing natural moisture.
• Own Calming Facial Toner: spread on your face with a cotton pad. Designed to calm agitated areas.
• Own Fast Acne Remover: apply to areas on your skin that are especially affected by acne. Designed to reduce redness without drying out skin.
• Own Shineless Face Lotion: apply a small amount to your face. Designed to balance oil production.

What Ingredients Are Used in Own Natural Acne Treatment?

I was really excited to look into the ingredients used in Own Natural Acne Treatment to see how it works. The purifying face wash, fast acne remover, and shineless face lotion all have the same active ingredient: salicylic acid. I wasn’t surprised by this because salicylic acid is such a common ingredient; it is used to unclog pores and clean out acne-causing bacteria.

Other ingredients used include stearic acid, glycerin, neem leaf extract, allantoin, and water. All-in-all I thought that the ingredient list was just average. There were many common ingredients that are used in acne products and a few ingredients that were more obscure but generally not scientifically proven to work.

Does Own Natural Acne Treatment Offer a Money Back Guarantee?

Own Natural Acne Treatment doesn’t offer a money back guarantee, but they do offer a 30 day free trial. This is offered to help you learn if you like the product before you buy it. I haven’t hear of anyone having problems with Own’s 30 day trial, but I have heard of other companies offering a free 30 day trial and then ripping people off. So basically just be careful.

What it really comes  down to is whether or not Own Natural Acne Treatment is worth your money or not. The official Own website claims that the regimen costs about $19.95 per month, although I don’t know how they came up with that number. I liked that it is fairly cheap and that they give you a free trial, but like I said be careful about the trial. I wasn’t super impressed with the ingredient list. In the end it’s up to you, but I bet you could find something better.

Perricone MD Acyl Glutathione

I have a small confession to make:

I HAVE ACNE AND I DON’T CARE WHO KNOWS IT!!!!

Boy did that feel good! Okay, well maybe I didn’t need to confess it since acne is one of the hardest things in the world to hide, but still it feels good to just get that off my chest. Since acne is the most common skin disorder in the United States we don’t need to feel like we are alone in our battle against it!

However, I do sometimes feel alone when I am trying to find an effective acne treatment. There are just so many products out there and it sometimes feels impossible to find the right one for me. So I decided to at least make it a little easier for you by looking into Perricone MD Acyl Glutathione to see how it compares to other leading brands.

How Does Perricone MD Acyl Glutathione Work?

Perricone MD Acyl Glutathione works in a way very similar to other acne treatments. The official Perricone MD website gives a very detailed explanation on how to use it:

“Dr. Perricone recommends first warming up a small amount of product between your hands to facilitate spread over the entire face. Slide the pads of the fingers from the center of the eyebrows towards the outside of the forehead”.

“Then with the palms of the hand proceed over temples, cheekbones and sides of nose in a gentle patting motion. End by sweeping upwards from the neck to the chin and jawline. Apply morning and evening after make-up removal on well cleansed skin”.

The idea is that by using Perricone MD Acyl Glutathione in the morning and evening you will have less facial wrinkles and the texture of your skin will feel and look better.

What Ingredients Are Used in Perricone MD Acyl Glutathione?

You can find the entire ingredient list for Perricone MD Acyl Glutathione online, so I will just focus on the key ingredients.

The key ingredient in Perricone MD Acyl Glutathione is actually in the name of the product: acyl glutathione. The official Perricone MD website explains that acyl glutathione was designed to replenish the glutathione levels in your skin. This is important because glutathione is one of the main antioxidants that depletes with age.

Other ingredients in Perricone MD Acyl Glutathione include isopropyl palmitate, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Cetearyl Alcohol, and Phosphatidylcholine.

Does Perricone MD Acyl Glutathione Offer a Money Back Guarantee?

Unfortunately, Perricone MD Acyl Glutathione doesn’t come with a money back guarantee. They do have a 30 day return policy but they state that they don’t accept returns on “overly used products”. The whole point of a money back guarantee is that you get to try the product to see if it works, so only allowing you to use the product a little before you return it isn’t very useful.

In the end I came to this conclusion: Perricone MD Acyl Glutathione appears to be a decent product with a decent ingredient list. However, it costs $175 per container and doesn’t have a money back guarantee. If it were me I would try to find something more affordable or at least something that comes with a money back guarantee.

ScarAway

Doesn’t the word “Acne” just give you the heebie jeebies? Whether it is a part of our past or whether it affects us in the present, I would say that all of us have had the influence of acne in our lives.

I believe that the reason so many people get so frustrated with acne is that there are so many things out there that claim to treat it but so few that actually work when we try them. I, like you, have gone through the frustration of the process of finding a good acne treatment. That’s why I wanted to make your job a little easier by doing some research on ScarAway to see if it could work for you.

How Does ScarAway Work?

ScarAway is a medical grade silicon product that uses the patented Silon technology to shrink, flatten, and fade the color of scars. It has been designed to work on both fresh and old scars.

The official ScarAway explains that it works by mimicking the natural barrier function of normal skin and returning skin to its natural color and texture.

ScarAway is actually pretty simple to use and can be used on any part of your body. All you need to do is apply the sheet to affected areas and keep in on for 12 to 23 hours. ScarAway was designed to work on hypertrophic scars and keloids.

What Ingredients Are Used in ScarAway?

Since ScarAway is not a vitamin or facial cleanser the only real ingredient is the patented Silon technology. As I stated before, Silon is supposed to mimic the natural function of healthy skin. Silon works by hydrating scar tissue which then softens the scar and helps to relieve itching, burning, and the general pain that accompanies a scar.

I was actually pretty impressed with the research that backs up ScarAway. On the official ScarAway website you can find a long list of research that has been done by dermatologists and plastic surgeons supporting the use of the technology used in ScarAway.
Most of this research was done on people who received burns or underwent surgeries and not on people who suffer from acne. However, I think the idea is that if it works on a surgical scar it should work on an acne scar as well.

Does ScarAway Offer a Money Back Guarantee?

Unfortunately, ScarAway does not come with a money back guarantee. In my opinion, this is the biggest flaw of ScarAway. Having a money back guarantee really helps people to be confident when purchasing an acne product because they know that if it doesn’t work they will simply ask for their money back.

The pro’s of ScarAway are that it has been tried and tested and proven to work, and that it comes at a reasonable price, $19.99 for a box with 8 sheets.

The con’s are that ScarAway doesn’t come with a money back guarantee and most of the testing wasn’t done specifically for acne scars.

In the end, I was pretty impressed with ScarAway. Although I couldn’t recommend it for everyone, it could be worth a try for you.

Dermagist Acne Scar Reduction System

If you are anything like me you sometimes just want to give up when it comes to trying to find an acne treatment that actually works. Most of us go through so many treatments that we can’t even remember what we have tried and what we haven’t tried yet.

That is the double-edged sword that has been produced by all of the advancements in acne treatments. There are so many new ways to treat acne that there has to be something out there that would work for everyone, but it is just so hard to find that one! I decided to make your job at least a little easier by looking into Dermagist Acne Scar Reduction System to see if it could be right for you.

How Does Dermagist Acne Scar Reduction System Work?

The Dermagist Acne Scar Reduction System is a two part system that comes with a detoxifying cleanser and an acne scar fading cream. They are supposed to work by detoxifying the skin to prevent future breakouts and by smoothing and healing the texture of existing scars. It is also supposed to fade the discoloration around acne scars.

Ingredients Used in Dermagist Acne Scar Reduction System

I don’t see products like the Dermagist Acne Scar Reduction System very often so I was really excited to look into the ingredients to see how it works. The first ingredient I noticed is called Collaxyl. This is a relatively new ingredient that is supposed to heal the bumps and holes that are caused by acne scars. It is supposed to “trick” dead skin cells into producing new cells that would fill up those holes.

The only reason I keep saying “supposed to” is that I couldn’t find anywhere saying that Collaxyl is FDA approved. There has been evidence to show that it does work, but without the FDA approval it is hard for me to say that it actually does work.

Another key ingredient is acai berry extract.  I am very skeptical about the effectiveness of acai berries because I lived for two years in Brazil where acai berries come from and ate acai frequently. It was sold for about fifty cents per liter in little bags on the side of the street. Somehow, once you get rid of the whole “mystical berry that comes from the jungles in South America” idea, you realize that acai is just a healthy berry like any other one, and it doesn’t have miracle healing powers.

Is Dermagist Acne Scar Reduction System Worth It?

Dermagist Acne Scar Reduction System can be purchased for $89.99 from the official Dermagist website. It is backed by a 30 day money back guarantee but PLEASE read the instructions carefully. They have set up their money back guarantee so that it is almost impossible for you to actually get your money back.

My conclusion is that Dermagist Acne Scar Reduction System is simply too expensive for what you are getting. If you don’t like it you could possibly get your money back, but I wouldn’t really count on it. If I were you, I would try to find something else.
