From newspaper columns and TV talk shows to university research magazines, media sources everywhere seem to be obsessed with the idea that strange acne skin care practices might provide you with the solution you have always been looking for. Three particular acne treatments have recently been discussed on message board by acne bloggers across the nation - this article will explain the do's and don't of acne treatments experimentation.

One rumored acne treatment has a long trajectory in history, and actually was used by sufferers of acne vulgaris before modern medicine was invented. Egg yolks have even been recommended by some acne dermatologists as a topical natural acne treatment because of their high Vitamin A content. This acne treatment is thought to be successful, but it also has its risks and downsides - raw eggs are frequent carriers of salmonella, a nasty bacteria that causes grave infections in humans upon exposure.

Yet another up and coming bizarre natural acne treatment is urine therapy. While this possible solution for acne does in fact use natural materials in its treatment process, putting urine on your face or drinking it hardly seems natural! Urine therapy users have reported that when applied to the skin, it can often causing stinging and in some cases lead to rashes.

Neither one of the acne treatments mentioned above are proven to be truly effective and the risks involved make them quite unattractive.

Are there any less gross options?

The good news is that with intensive research methodologies and extensive clinical testing, certain scientists have been able to reveal a secret and strange ingredient now used in pioneering an acne treatment cream. This natural acne treatment's secret is secreted by the small brown snail you typically find outdoors. Such a creature's cellular and molecular reactions have been proven to provoke regenerative effects on human skin.

This serum's effectiveness lies in the fact that it contains collagen, elastin and water holding molecules that consequently have the same structural elements of human skin. While the snail serum method may sound even stranger than the rest, it is the only one of these three methods that has been tested in a clinical setting.

If your acne problem is bothering you so much that you have begun to search for solutions on the web, you may have arrived at a point in which you're willing and ready to try anything. Remember that not everything published on the internet is safe or reliable information, and could even be more damaging than it is helpful in the end. Carefully research any type of weird acne treatments you are curious about before trying them out - you may also want to consult an acne dermatologist.
