Vanessa Williams, Lindsay Lohan, and Jessica Simpson all boast that facial washes are the win all beat all in fighting acne, and people that suffer from acne use this liquid concoctions like crazy. But are there some hazards hidden in these boasted about acne washes? Contained here is some information that will alter how you think of acne washes from now on.

Let me start by posing some questions to you though? Would you wash your face with an insecticide? Would cease using a acne wash if your knew that is contained chemicals that could be cancer causing?

You probably are answering yes to that question and would not want to use any substance bad for your health. The sad thing is you may already be using something potentially harmful to your help if you are now using an oversold facial acne wash. These acne washes are sold in some fancy glamorous way on the Internet and on TV. But they never warn you of the dangerous chemicals that these miracle cure acne wash.

One of the ingredients contained in acne facial washes is imidazolidinyl urea. This ingredient is actually listed as a pesticide ingredient according to the Environmental Protection Agency. And the FDA is protecting us? I don't think so!

The FDA can be influenced too much by the special interest groups, and cosmetic ingredients don't have to go through any approval system, before they can be used by the consumer. The FDA usually steps in an regulates these types of products only after they being sold on the market.

The skin care product manufacturers can basically use any raw material or ingredient, barring a few color additives and some substances that are prohibited, to sell a skin care product without passing a government test of any kind . This makes it so that many of the cosmetics can contain many harmful chemicals and you never know you are exposing yourself to it.

Another ingredient in facial washes that is toxic to you is Sodium Hyaluronate and it can be linked to:

1. A neurotoxicity that can damage your brain and your nervous system.

2. Another kind of toxicity that affects your development and you reproductive functions.

3. Can cause infertility.

4. Different cancers.

5. And can cause certain birth defects

Now we get to benzoyl peroxide,which is one of the best known acne solution of all time probably. Sure this chemical will allow you to clear up you acne at least temporarily, but now the National Library of Medicine is saying that benzoyl peroxide is responsible for promoting tumors in numerous studies on animals.

Look it up in Pubmed, which is a directory of medical studies online and within the medical community, and you will read about several studies involving skin cancer with benzoyl peroxide. More than 2/3 of the studies report that benzoyl peroxide is the cause of the skin cancer.

You may have a hard time believing this, but do a search for yourself on the 3 ingredients I have mentioned here on Google and see the proof yourself.

Don't be fooled by the wonderful acne solution commercials with the gorgeous models, and let them entice you into putting your health at risk. You will be absolutely shocked to discover the whole truth to those acne washes for the face. I advise you to quit using these chemically-laden products today, and turn to the all natural alternatives for acne treatment.
