  2. WHAT MEDICAL TREATMENTS EXIST? Effective medications that can be used to treat acne include: Topical retinoids Benzoyl Peroxide Topical antimicrobials Azelaic acid Oral antibiotics Oral isotretinoin Oral antiandrogens These are used in isolation or combined, and the dermatologist will prescribe the appropriate medication depending on the severity of the symptoms.

  3. SIDE EFFECTS OF ACNE MEDICATION Medication can have some side effects. For example, dry skin or sensitivity to light. These symptoms can be counteracted with the use of adjunctive hydrating products for acne-prone skin such as Eucerin DermoPURIFYER Adjunctive Hydrating Care. It can be used with standard medical acne treatment to intensively hydrate and sooth exsiccated acne skin.

  6. THE MAIN CONTRIBUTING FACTORS OF ACNE Some of the more common factors that have been known to aggravate acne-prone skin are: eating excessive short-chained carbohydrates (sugar and white flour) high intakes of milk and other dairy products (although cheese doesn’t appear to be a problem) smoking cigarettes comedogenic skin care products and make-up It is important to seek dermotological advice, even if symptoms are mild or in their early stages as effective medical treatment can prevent the condition getting worse, and minimise the risk of scarring.

  7. MEDICAL TREATMENTS INCLUDE: Topical retinoids such as Tretinoin and Adapalene. Topical retinoids act on abnormal keratinisation and are also anti-inflammatory so work for both comedonal and inflammatory acne.  Benzoyl Peroxide helps prevent dead skin blocking up hair follicles and also kills the bacteria that causes infection.  Topical antimicrobials (Topical antibiotics) help kill the bacteria on skin that can infect plugged hair follicles. Should always be combined with Benzoyl Peroxide in order to prevent the development of bacterial resistances. Azelaic acid is often used as an alternative treatment for ridding skin of dead skin cells and killing bacteria and is usually prescribed if patients experience side effects with Benzoyl Peroxide or topical retinoids.

  8. EUCERIN DERMOPURIFYER HYDRATING CARE As with all medication, there are known side effects to certain medicinal acne therapies. These may include skin dryness and sun sensitivity, but these can often be offset by the use of adjunctive hydration care for acne-prone skin such as Eucerin DermoPURIFYER Hydrating Care.
