by Abigail Mckenzee

Acne is a common problem that affects both adolescents and young adults. This skin problem is generally inoffensive, but can be bothersome and lead to some self-esteem issues. So, it is no surprise that there is an ongoing search for the best acne medicine out there.

Acne solutions abound. Every skin care line has its own acne remedy. In this article, we will take a look at two products to see which is the best acne cream.

Clinique Acne Solutions Emergency Gel Lotion and Bioskinclear are the two acne products we will review.

Acne Solutions Emergency Gel Lotion by Clinique

This lotion contains benzoyl peroxide which helps in clearing up recurring pimples and blemishes. It also claims to control sebum production, unclog blocked pores and reduce redness.

The Good:

Reports have stated that results are quite fast and can even be seen within a couple of days.

The Bad:

This lotion does not have sunscreen. Some consumers assert that it leads to irritation, burning and tightness. Users have also reported the appearance of blotches and that the product loses its effectiveness after a few months.

The Bottom Line:

This lotion does have loyal consumers. Nevertheless, the reported side effects and the loss of effectiveness constitute two very important bad points. Take these points into consideration before purchasing it.

Bioskinclear

Bioskinclear is an acne treatment cream that is part of a skin care line that uses snail serum as its unique ingredient. This product is and oil free gel that can be used for rosacea, acne, scars and for people with seborrhea. Among its attributes, it boasts the ability to moderate the immune system's inflammatory reactions, remove dead skin cells and boost the production of water binding molecules.

The Good:

This product is suitable for every skin type because it contains natural ingredients. It does not produce problems such as irritation, discoloration or tightness that are linked to other, harsh skin care products. In fact, it eases all of these problems.

The Bad:

This product is basically 100% natural. Because of this, the time it takes to produce definite results can vary greatly from one person to the next.

The Bottom Line:

This product also possesses its own loyal consumers. As it has a natural composition, it can be used by anyone no matter their skin problem. If you have time on your hands, this product is certainly a good choice to keep in mind.

As with all acne cream brands, these products have their pros and cons. However, it is the opinion of this author that all-natural products have many more pros when they are compared to chemical laden skin products.

Before purchasing any acne skin care, it is always a good idea to weigh your options. Bio skin care products, like Bioskinclear, are designed to be gentle yet effect on your skin. So, save yourself the trouble of dealing with accutane side effects and other skin problems by choosing all natural skin care products.
