If you suffer from acne, you are probably looking for an effective acne treatment product. There is no dearth of information on the internet, magazines, and books about these products. But how do you separate the chaff from the grain? Here is how to do it.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Step 1

Visit Acne.org for the most exhaustive information about acne that you can find on the Internet. The community has been online since 1996, and the owner of the site, Dan, is on a mission to end the battle of acne. Chockfull of information about acne, the site also has reviews of acne treatments. However the highlight of this site is the 20 or so message boards that discuss acne treatments all the way from white vinegar, to the Proactiv system, to the latest and greatest in laser treatments.
Step 2

Read the book, titled “The Skin Type Solution” by Dr. Leslie Baumann, a celebrity dermatologist. Categorizing skin into 16 different types (instead of 4), she makes it easy for consumers to identify their unique skin type, and shop for products accordingly. She has nutritional advice, and a list of ingredients to look for when shopping for an acne treatment such as Retinol, Azelaic acid, and Salicylic acid.
Step 3

Visit cosmeticscop.com for a head over shoulders opinion on the plethora of acne treatments, and gadgets available on the market. The no-nonsense cosmetics cop, Paula Begoun, advocates a gentler approach to acne treatment by avoiding products that contain alcohol and other harsh ingredients. See the resource section for a link to site’s acne page.
Step 4

Visit Dermadoctor.com, run by dermatologist Dr. Kunin whose take on the treatment product dilemma is that, every skincare decision should be powered by information. True to her word, her feature articles are powered with cutting edge information about skincare conditions such as acne. Her website also sells quality acne treatment products, such as the thermaclear acne clearing device.
Step 5

Look into the consumersearch.com website as another credible source of information about acne treatment products. The site’s best feature is the fast answers page that lists and reviews the best treatments at a glance, including the Proactiv 3 step system. Look into the resource section for a direct link to this page.
