There’s Not a One-size-fits-all Cure for Acne…
Published: Saturday, 14th October 2023For years we’ve been heading to the GP in an attempt to get rid of acne – but did you know that medication may not be the best choice for you?

For many of us who suffer from acne, a visit to the GP can result in a prescription for an oral contraceptive pill, retinoids or a course of antibiotics. And yes, these can work to get rid of acne, or at the very least alleviate flare-ups, calm stressed skin, kill bacteria and clear up badly affected skin. But are they always the best choice? More and more of us these days don’t want to take those kinds of drugs, or any drugs at all for that matter. As we become more and more aware of what we put in our bodies, many of us are looking for medication-free alternatives. And while they can work, and work well, there are often side effects, reactions and sensitivities… and sometimes they just may not work at all for you. |
While hormonal acne – often suffered by women who are menstruating or in menopause – may sometimes need drug intervention, the good news is that there are ways to control and even cure most acne without popping a pill.

But there are things you can do to break that cycle without medication.
|
Next, you can look into doctor-developed treatments that actually boost your skin complexion and bring out your skin’s best – and in the best news of all, even reverse acne damage with no pills in sight!
