As with all health issues and medical problems there is a debate as to what is the best approach to take when it comes to treating acne. Should someone with spots and pimples rely on acne home remedies to treat the problem, or should they go with conventional medicine? In fact, there is probably not a definite answer to this question. The success of any acne remedy depends on whether it is suited to the severity of the outbreak, and to the skin type of the sufferer. This is true both with acne home remedies or with mass produced manufactured acne products.

Often people use acne home remedies in conjunction with other acne treatments and this can be a very effective approach. This hub will look at some of the issues surrounding acne home remedies.

Acne home remedies have been used by acne sufferers for generations. The concoctions that proved successful in curing acne have been passed on from family memebr to family memebr and have been adapted, improved and altered as time has passed. The best acne home remedy for you is likely to be one that has worked for someone else in your family. Chances are thet you will share a similar skin type as others in your family, and what has worked on their acne, may well work for you. Ask around. I bet your parents have tried some acne home remedies before.

The problem with acne home remedies is that there exists very little data to back upi the claims that they can cure acne. Unlike medications that have to undergo clinical trials, the stories about the success of homemade acne remedies may just be hearsay. If you are going to beat your acne by natural mean, you are going to have to be prepared to experiment with different remedies until you find the ones that suit you best.

Some of the best acne home remedy ingredients are: nettles, aloe vera, lemon juice, honey and rose water. Lots of pimple home remedies include these substances in different quantities. 

As said above, it is uncertain how effective acne home remedies actually are. A sufferer of acne is perhaps better of using a good acne home remedy in conjunction with a recognised acne product. Lots of modern acne medications include natural ingredients anyway, so your going to get the best of both worlds. There are lots of very effective acne treatment products on the market, I would try these first before relying solely on acne home remedies to cure my pimples.
