These days, an acne treatment can range from something as simple as changing your diet to something more serious, such as using prescribed medications. One of the more common decisions people make these days when deciding on their acne treatment is to use an all natural product.

Some of the topical acne treatments contain harsh chemicals that at times can do more harm to your skin than good. A few of these chemicals include Benzoyl Peroxide, Azelaic Acid and Chloramphenicol.

Benzoyl Peroxide when used in an acne treatment, has a bleaching action. Some of the cautions when using a product containing this chemical are, avoid contact with the eyes, mouth and lips. Be careful with fabrics and your hair due to the bleaching effect and avoid direct sunlight after use.

Azelaic Acid as an acne treatment, should avoid being used if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and as the previous chemical cautioned, avoid direct sunlight after use and do not use around the eyes.

The use of Chloramphenicol can cause skin irritation and have an antibacterial resistance effect, rendering the product an ineffective acne treatment.

Now, that's enough to turn any one off using chemical based products as an acne treatment !

One of the better known all natural acne treatments available is Safral's creams and masks. Safral use vegetable and plant extracts as their active ingredients, some of which include Papaya, Pineapple, Lemon, Rosemary and Thyme.

Papaya has an anti-inflammatory action, while the pineapple is used to exfoliate. The rosemary and thyme are used as an antiseptic and the lemon as a bactericide.

Safral's acne treatment is very powerful in the fight against acne, weather it be mild or sever acne.
