Stop! As a licensed esthetician, I am sick and tired of all the false promises, over-hyped nonsense and simply bad information being passed off as fact about YOUR adult acne.
It was discovered that a number of the violet (or blue) light visible from the sunlight, within a range of 405 to 420 nanometers, activates the Coproporphyrin III found in the acne-causing bacteria, Propionibacterium acnes. The porphyrin destroys and kills the culprit bacteria as it releases singlet oxygen. An amount of 320 Joules per square centimeter of light in the 405-420 nm range prevents the survival and viability of the bacteria. This portion of the light spectrum, which is outside the sun's ultraviolet spectrum, produces minimal sunburn or tanning.
Non-inflammatory acne can generally be treated with over-the-counter medications, but inflammatory outbreaks often require prescription drugs or even surgery. However, there are several natural remedies that have proven effective in treating and controlling both types of acne. A few of them come directly from your pantry:
