The choice of which topical acne treatment to buy is trying. With dozens of products available the acne consumer might feel he has to reach deep in his pocket if he wants the real deal. He has to spend above 20 bucks if he wants to get a maximum potency topical treatment and which acne sufferer would not like to have the prize-winner treatment?
Today's topical acne treatments utilize benzoyl peroxide or salicylyc acid as active ingredients. The real problem with these is that they do as much harm as good. In fact, while exposing acne bacteria to oxygen, in order to destroy it, they badly irritate and dry the skin. It is not unusual to get ugly, never healing scars after the long term application of these over the counter topical steroids. Does the unlucky acne sufferer really have to endure the side effects of these drugs, or is there something available that will not damage the skin while fighting acne?
To answer the question shortly: there is. It is called Manuka honey, honey of the Manuka shrub indegenous to New Zealand. The honey harvested from it has anti fungal, anti biotic, anti inflammatory, anti mutagenic properties. When compared in efficiency to over the counter products, it beats the pulp out of traditional acne treatment creams. All the better, it is gentle to your skin so you don't have to worry about ugly scars or iching, dry skin. It has a unique number, the UMF (unique Manuka factor) to it that is indicating it's potency. The higher the better, but 10 + is already considered good. Worth a try?
