The difference between using natural or medicinal products to fight off acne zits

If you want to use the skin care products to control your acne zits, then you can choose among medical based or natural products. The medical products have the chemical that it is used to dry up the pimples. The most common chemical used are salycic acid and benzoyl peroxide. People who have sensitive skin have to use the products that have Salycic acid. The amount of the chemical that is used in the products is determined by the percentages of concentration, the higher the concentration, the more the product has an active ingredient. The product with the highest concentration does not mean that it is the best product, since it all depends on the type of your skin. If your skin is not getting improved then you have to look for dermatologist or a doctor.

The natural products use the natural ingredients to dry up the pimples. The ingredients are plant extracts that dries up the skin and sooth the area. The natural ingredients that are common are grapeseed oil, vitamin E, aloe Vera, calendula, essential oils and witch hazel. The natural area can dry blemishes, can sooth redness and can add moisture to the affected area. However natural products do not mean that they should be used anyhowly especially with the people who have sensitive skin. Sometime natural products can cause allergies in people with sensitive skin.

If any of the above zits treatment causes allergies or painful reaction, they have to be stopped immediately. If you have a known allergy, then you have to make sure that the product you use does not contain the same ingredients. If the allergy is too severe, then you have to see the doctor right away before it get any worse. There are many zits treatment and if one does not work with you, then you can look for the other one.
