Acne treatment pro active and home remedy for topical emergency acne care

Some vitamin A derivatives are greatly deemed by many as another great form of acne cure that they can prevent skin cells from clumping together and they promote shedding of the skin. However, just like the above mentioned acne cures, these too have a number of side effects, such as dryness, redness, and irritation. There are even some cases where these "acne cures" are thought to be the cause of some psychological disorders and birth defects.
Sebaceous glands are present all over the body except on the palms, the soles and dorsal surfaces of the hand and foot. They are particularly large and numerous on the scalp, the face, the back and the front of the chest. Each sebaceous gland is composed of multiple lobules of epithelial cells. The duct of each lobules converge towards the main sebaceous duct which normally opens into hair follicle (pilo¬sebaceous unit). Only a small number of sebaceous glands open directly on the surface of the skin (the prepuce, labia minora, eyelids, nipples and lips).
After six weeks, the results found that those washing once a day had only slightly worse acne, those washing twice a day increase their pimples conditions slightly while those washing four times daily had no changes to their conditions at all. This shows that the frequency of face washing does not really cause much significant changes to acne conditions. Over washing does not seem to cause any more harm which was different from what is believed by most doctors. Frequent face washing also does not produce any great result on acne against the belief held by most parents and teenagers. The optimal frequency of face washing is twice daily as shown in this study.
