Antibiotics for acne

Chemicals and antibiotics are widely used in most acne medications. Most over the counter and prescribed acne creams and acne pills have antibiotics, chemicals or hormones in their ingredients. One of the latest study says that about 85% drugs produced for prevention and treatment of acne, post acne scars, rosacea, and demodicosis are chemicals, antibiotics or hormone substances. 

Chemicals and antibiotics are not only different from natural acne treatments with their list of ingredients. The side effects associated with prolonged use of antibiotics and hormones can often lead to other skin disorders. In addition to hormones and antibiotics used, most chemicals acne creams and acne pills include long list surfactants that block skin pores and reduce the efficacy of such acne products. 

Not too many manufacturers of acne products with chemicals and steroids tell that such acne creams or acne pills can only be used for 2 - 3 weeks. Oral antibiotics should only be used as a temporary measure in order to reduce the inflammation caused by acne bacteria. Longer use of antibiotics and steroids destroy the immune system of our skin. This side effect is one the very few side effects responsible for the development of such skin disorders as rosacea and demodicosis. 

In addition to acne gels, acne lotions, ointments and acne pills, the chemical industry offers variety of peels, cleansing lotions containing alkali, alcohol and even acids. The cleansers with theses chemical substances are not safe and can not be used by acne patients. The alcohol and other chemical ingredients most often over dry the skin provoking the sebum glands to produce more sebum oil. Excessive production of sebum oil is one of the reason which causes acne. Therefore, it is recommended to clean acne prone skin with natural cleansers and lotions.
