Most of us suffered from acne during our teenage years. But many people's acne affliction continues throughout their adult life. Sadly there is no cure for acne. No matter what you hear from other supposed skin care experts who claim that there is, it is an absolute lie.

But don't lose hope. Though there is no cure for acne there are still ways to control, treat and prevent acne.

If you are reading this page then I am sure you have tried everything and read everything about treating acne. And finally you have heard and read about Mario Badescu's skin care products that celebrities such as Heidi Klum, Jennifer Aniston, Liv Tyler and Mischa Barton (I have a funny story about meeting her by the way) uses to make them look great.

Sure celebrities are lucky that they are born beautiful, but they have to keep it that way, and using Badescu's products helps them.

I believe strongly that if beautiful celebrities trust Mario Badescu's products then I do as well. Because they rely on their looks as they are in movies, television shows and in the public eye.

As you know already skin acne occurs when our skin is clogged with dead skin cells, dirt and oil. When the oil in our skin builds up it pushes the bacteria up to the surface which provides a better environment for the bacteria to grow.

Now if you are serious about treating your acne you have to really commit yourself. You have to dedicate a daily regimen and not make any excuses.

This includes not squeezing and popping your pimples. You may know this already but believe me I see many people do this. One time I went to visit my sister's dorm and I couldn't believe what those girls were doing.

And the worst thing is that her sorority sister's know it is bad to pop pimples. They knew that popping a pimple is a sure fire way to spread the bacteria. But they did it because it was the quickest fix.

They did not realize that they were doing more harm then good. And I know they will be especially upset when acne scars start appearing on their faces.

So I told them to make a pact. Everyone sister who is caught picking at their pimples have to pay a fine of $5 that goes towards their food budget. So far it has worked. So far...

Here are some acne treatment products I recommend you use. They can be found at Amazon.com as you can see on the right. But I strongly suggest you go to Mario Badescu's Website. I find that Badescu's website has more supply in stock and the prices are better.

1. To help prepare your skin for bacteria removal use Acne Facial Cleanser. The ingredients in this cleanser removes bacteria and dirt clogging pores. A little dab goes a long way leaving my face refreshingly clean.
2. At first try I was surprised that the Special Cucumber Lotion isn't really a lotion. It's more liquidity then I thought it would be. To me it's a good think because again a little bit goes a long way. This lotion is very light and gentle and not too greasy. I hate that feeling. I find that this works really well.
3. I really like the feel of Mario Badescu's Drying Mask. It doesn't have a heavy stick feeling and it has quite a soothing feeling that the calamine provides. It has a nice aloe smell even though there is no aloe in the ingredients.
4. If you suffer from cystic acne this is a great product. Mario Badescu's Buffering Lotion contains a light antiseptic that soothes and encourages healing from the damage caused by cystic acne.
5. This is my favorite product of all time for treating stubborn acne. Dab this Drying Lotion over your problem areas and you can kind of feel the magic work. Well not magic exactly but you know what I mean. You can instantly feel your pimples dry while the healing ingredients go to work. There is a video review of this product below.

Finally no products will work 100% effectively if you do not follow a strict regiment of treating and cleaning your acne. I can not stress the fact that only consistent rituals of using proven skin products will you be able to control acne problems.
