Organic Face Care

by BethAnnFive, Apr 28, 2008 01:19PM
I am trying to change to organic/all natural skin care products. My acne is becoming worse since the switch- I am not currently on any prescribed acne medicine because before switching to the organic products it had almost completely subsided. Are there any good brands or products that I could try which are organic or all natural? Thanks so much for your help and advice!

Natural products have not been proven to be more effective than those with synthetic ingredients. Plant extracts can be irritating to the skin. In my opinion, acne needs to be treated quickly and robustly to avoid physical or emotional scarring. The best way to do this is to follow the advice of your doctor and use the prescription medicine recommended for you. Oral antibiotics such as Oxytetracycline are effective as are topical retinoids like Differin. Loiloi x
