Acne Treatment Ingredients: Big Words for Such a Simple Ingredient

            For years we have used different types of acne treatments to get rid of those pimples that plague our face: from sulfurous additives in the early 1900s to Benzoyl Peroxide and other chemical additives of today. Though some of these have helped us fight off acne, they are not without their side effects and sometimes these side effects are worse than the acne itself.  This is why, when dealing with acne, it so important to know what is included in your acne treatment. So to make sure you are getting the best acne treatment, without the side effects, check the ingredients.

            Although, when it comes to acne, it may seem like every one of the ingredients is of a chemical base or synthetically processed. They contain names that you cannot even pronounce or you may have never heard of in your life. They funny thing is that some of these hard to pronounce names are the best ingredients in an acne treatment. So to be sure that what you are using on your already irritated skin is going to react nicely, not only do you have to check the ingredient list but you have to know about the ingredients and what they do as well. This requires a little bit of research and understanding on your part, but the effects will be worth it.

            Take for example, one of the most popular all natural ingredients for acne treatments, Citrus Reticulata. Well, we know that it has something to do with citrus but what kind and what does it do? Citrus Reticulata is just a fancy scientific name for Tangerine Oil and we should be all aware of what tangerine oil does when included in an acne treatment. Known as an antibacterial and a gentle exfoliate, this organic ingredient has the ability to kill bacteria then assist in regenerating new skin cells to help bring our face back to normal.

            Another example of an all natural substance that can be confused as a chemical additive just by its name. The name is Butyrospermum Parkii and the soothing and moisturizing qualities of this ingredient are one of the top in the skin care field. Has anyone everyone heard of Shea Butter? Well Butyrospermum Parkii is the clinical name of Shea Butter and when it is included in an acne treatment it has the ability to calm down redness and irritation giving your skin a better chance of fighting off the bacteria that causes acne.

            Other examples include Matricaria Recuita extract (otherwise known as Chamomile Oil) or how about Resveratrol Ferment Extract (better known as Resveratrol); all of which if you did not know the scientific or proper name of the ingredients in your acne treatment you may pass it over for what you think would be a safer product but in all actuality is not.

            The ingredients are what matters most in an acne treatment and the more organic and gentle they are the better. Read the acne treatment reviews for the full ingredient lists and explanations before you purchase anything to treat your acne and also talk to others who may be going through what you are going through. The treatment of acne has been around for thousands of years and will probably be around for a lot longer with hopefully better ingredients than we even see today. We just have to be able to know how to spot them and acne treatmentwill be a piece of cake.
