Whats In Your Oily Skin Treatment?
Oily skin affects almost all people on earth to the point that oily skin treatment has become a productive business. Beauty clinics are built everywhere, every newspaper has advertisements for beauty enhancement, and celebrities are regularly seen on television making their testimonials about an effective skin treatment they used to have the Hollywood skin they are famous for.
But most of the time, these oily skin treatments are just for promotional purposes. The sad thing is they don’t actually work. All they do is drain you of your hard-earned money. Still the best way to get an effective oily skin treatment is to visit your dermatologist. Doing so, you are sure that the advice you’re getting has a medical basis, not just from a pretty face at a make-up counter.
Your dermatologist will recommend you to include in your oily skin treatment substances that are specifically made to cure and prevent oily skin. Among those usually recommended are:
Benzoyl Peroxide
Benzoyl peroxide is an integral part of any oily skin treatment regimen because it kills acne-causing bacteria. It also causes the skin to dry and peel while removing signs of oil. The proper amount must be applied to avoid excessive dryness and irritation.
Salicylic Acid
Like Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid is known for its anti bacterial capabilities. In severe cases, stronger concentration is needed to become an effective oily skin treatment.
Accutane
Accutane is only prescribed in very severe cases where milder oily skin treatment is ineffective. Its side effects are very dangerous, which is why it is rarely prescribed. It works by stopping oil production of the sebaceous glands, resulting in extreme dryness and scaly skin. It is a drastic option in oily skin care treatment, and must only be used as a last resort.
Tetracycline
Tetracycline is an oily skin treatment that is used for mild to severe cases of oily skin. It has germ-killing powers and effectively removes acne-causing oil. A common side-effect is the development of yellow teeth. If you would rather have yellow teeth than an oily face then Tetracycline is for you.
