Teenage acne can be a significant source of concern. Effective treatments should prioritize a high success rate, ease of use, safety for sensitive skin, fast-acting results, and affordability. Avoid treatments requiring expensive dermatologist visits or facial peels.
Two systems stand out for teenagers seeking acne solutions:
**1. Reversion by Dr. Beckman:** Developed by a Board Certified Plastic and Reconstructive surgeon with a background in chemistry and extensive experience in skin restoration. This simple, two-step system offers a powerful approach.
* **Antimicrobial Wash:** Eliminates 99.9% of bacteria on the skin’s surface for up to 12 hours, reducing the risk of infection and often preventing future outbreaks, even for those previously reliant on oral antibiotics or Accutane. It also effectively removes dirt and oil.
* **Topical Exfoliation Treatment:** Contains salicylic and lactic acid to remove dead skin cells and oily plugs from sebaceous glands, preventing acne by unclogging pores. Lactic acid stimulates collagen and elastin production, restoring the skin’s natural pH balance.
Reversion has proven effective for various acne types, from mild to severe cystic acne. It boasts 100% effectiveness on Grades 1 & 2 acne, 80-90% success with Grade 3 acne, and significant control over new breakouts in Grade 4 acne sufferers. Some users have even reduced or discontinued prescription medications like Accutane. A 12-week study involving high school and college students demonstrated improvements in all participants, often within two weeks. Grades 1 & 2 acne sufferers achieved complete control, while Grades 3 & 4 experienced dramatic improvements.
**2. Zen Med:** This system takes a holistic approach with a 3-step process, combining topical treatments with herbal supplements. It leverages Traditional Chinese Medicine principles with modern therapeutics for an all-natural solution suitable for mild to severe acne, free of drugs and side effects.
* The Zen Med system is particularly appealing to individuals who haven’t found success with traditional prescription medications. A key advantage is its potential to address acne at its source within 1 to 3 months, offering a path to long-term clear skin.
