Therefore, choosing a good anti-acne remedy is difficult, but using proven and tested herbs is safe and effective.
The Question is a little tricky as effectiveness of any remedy depends upon the individual and its response to a remedy and there are thousands of over the counter acne remedies that you are not aware of what are their ingredients? So, how can we estimate their effectiveness.

When i used synthetic medications or prescription medications, I found positive results within few weeks but after few next weeks these medications showed no result and cause irritation to my skin etc.

I asked how can I estimate the effectiveness of the drug before purchasing, she replied read reviews on the Internet and buy, surely you will make good decision.
I further asked many other friends and most of them apprised me of the effectiveness, safety and easy use of over the counter acne remedies. One of the friends told me though over the counter acne remedies are slower, they surely cure acne and are safe to use unlike other remedies that are not sure to cure acne and cause worst side effects.
Hello Guys! One of my friends who is 18 year old with severe acne breakouts and lots of scars on his cheeks and chin has been using various cosmetic products for several years. He is very concerned about ugly look of his face and can not attend university lectures as his friends always tend to ask the cause of so worst acne breakouts and look at him strangely. During several years of Internet research, reading reviews and articles on Internet, I conclude that behind so severe breakouts, harsh cosmetic is the only culprit that hurts his skin. Why it hurts and why skin is susceptible to such cosmetics is still unknown, somehow, it is certain that harsh cosmetics that contains oils and oily ingredients are worst for your skin if you have oily skin.
Before using or purchasing any cosmetic product, pay special attentional to:
If your skin is oily or dry
Are you allergic to any of the ingredients of the product you are buying or using, read the label of the product carefully
If you are uncertain about what cause allergic reaction, ask your health care professional
If you notice cosmetic irritates your skin, avoid its use immediately
Use gentle soaps preferably baby soaps as they do not contain harsh detergents
Therefore, I am happy to share these research tips that I found after years of research. These tips are based on my general study and not an alternative to any medical advice, diagnosis etc. Therefore, these tips are for your awareness only.
