Preventing Acne

There is no permanent cure or acne prevention regime. Even after the blemishes disappear, you must continue to use an effective treatment to prevent acne blemishes and lesions from forming.

Daily use of the Clearogen Treatment heals your existing skin and will prevent acne formation and new blemishes.

Care and Prevention for Acne Prone Skin

Avoid over cleansing of skin: this can further irritate the delicate, inflammed skin surface

Avoid drying products: Alcohol-based astringents and harsh cleansers can worsen acne. When the skin becomes dry, acne prone skin 'compensates' by producing even more oil resulting in more pore clogging.

Avoid picking at the skin: Squeezing and picking at blemishes prolongs the infection AND can cause permanent scarring.

Avoid Greasy Creams and Makeup: Oily makeup and creams clog the pores of the skin resulting in more acne. Take care to purchase skin care products that state "non-comedogenic". These products have been tested for acne prone skin.

Preventing Blackheads

Even if you do not see blackheads on your skin, it is still recommended that you cleanse regularly.

Initial symptoms of blackheads are not visible to the naked eye. If your skin is left unclean, these yellow blemishes invite more dirt and eventually grow into hard black bumps that are difficult to extract. A regular cleansing program prevents this happening.
