You try to hide them with heavy makeup, but you can't ignore it or hide your face from the mirror. An unpleasant situation, isn't it! It is a common scenario for acne sufferers. Most people feel that acne is a part of life and a sign of puberty, but they suffer when it gets worse. Acne is the result of an imbalance of two or more factors in the physiology of the skin that involve the sebaceous gland and the duct system. Acne occurs when the hair follicle of the skin becomes clogged with excess production of sebum, dead cells and becomes infected with bacteria. This leads to swelling, redness and pain at the site of infection. The most common causes of acne are increased production of sebaceous material due to hormonal imbalances or side effects of stress that cause an overproduction of sebaceous material. Fighting acne requires patience and persistence. If something goes wrong, acne scars will be with you for the rest of your life. But lately there is good news. Medical science has successfully found a breakthrough in treating acne problems significantly and forever. Over-the-counter products such as cleansing creams, ointments, and Retinoid are very effective in treating acne. It is available in liquid, cream or gel form. The main ingredient of Retinoid is retinoid (retinoid acid and vitamin A). This retinoid somehow loosens the connections between skin cells and at the same time stimulates the growth of new cells. There is also some research showing that it minimizes fine lines and can reverse some effects of sun damage. It is very safe when used as directed and side effects are negligible. In the first few weeks of treatment, Retinoid will disconnect the acne follicles and bring the acne to the surface, leaving the face uglier than before. But as the day goes by, it reverses the odds of more acne problems. Studies show that Retinoid is safe during pregnancy, but it should be used if it's okay with your obstetrician.
Retinoid ointment improves the cosmetic appearance of the skin, but it also helps treat some functional problems of the skin, such as acne and precancerous conditions, such as actinic keratome. It might take two or three weeks of using retinoid to see any benefits. However, in some cases, it may take six weeks or more. Retinoid achieves a very important goal in anti-aging treatments: it helps boost collagen levels in the skin. Collagen provides skin with firmness and elasticity, but as you age, your cells produce less collagen, allowing wrinkling and sagging to occur. Retinoid cream is designed for use once per day, typically in the evening. Follow the instructions and do not use retinoid more frequently than prescribed, as this will not provide faster or better results. Retinoid contains the active ingredient, retinoid, a naturally occurring form of vitamin A. It works by speeding up the skin's metabolism to promote cellular turnover. It increases the production of elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid, a natural moisturizer in the skin. Applying your moisturizer first creates an extra layer between your skin and the retinoid. This will reduce dryness while still allowing the retinoid to do its thing! If you're looking to experiment with moisturizing before and after applying a retinoid, the “sandwich” method may be just what your skin needs.
