What Is Unique About Exposed Acne Treatment

By Jonathan Mercer


The designers of Exposed acne treatment state that they have created a revolutionary and unique approach by combining proven, FDA approved, over-the-counter medications, with other natural skin care ingredients. Those who find that other OTC topical gels and creams are rather harsh on their skin may be interested in this product.

Most of those who suffer from acne are in their teenage years, but for some people the condition may continue after they become adults. It is also fairly common that the condition is triggered by hormonal changes in later life, such as those which occur during pregnancy.

The skin contains many glands (sebaceous glands) which produce a natural lubricant for the skin called sebum. These can become blocked causing pimples and blackheads. The inflammation found with spots and pimples is due to a bacterial infection under the skin.

Acne is a disease and is treatable by numerous medicines. In general mild cases can be treated without visiting a physician - over-the-counter remedies from the pharmacy can be quite effective - but more severe cases may require antibiotics (usually these must be prescribed by a physician). The most severe cases can be treated by specialist dermatologists - extremely effective medications are available, but they can have side effects, and must always be taken under medical supervision.

Topical creams and gels are widely available through pharmacies and other retail outlets. Most people would try these out before visiting their doctor. As OTC remedies do not all contain the same active ingredients it may be worth trying more than one type.

The FDA (Federal Drugs Administration) license various ingredients to form the active ingredient in topical creams and gels. These include benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, and Exposed acne treatment contains both these substances as active ingredients. As some patients find purely medical skin treatments to be rather harsh on their skin, Exposed had taken a revolutionary and unique approach by combining the medically proven active ingredients with natural extracts to provide a holistic skin care package.
