Proactiv Solution Review

It would be unreasonable to speak about acne treatments without discussing Proactiv Solution. It is without a doubt the most widespread and most commonly used acne treatment on the market today. However, with all the marketing, referrals and sales pitches found in a search there aren’t many sufficiently informative reviews available on the product. So I have decided to remedy this…

Let’s start with the formalities: Proactiv Solution was developed by dermatologists in the early 1990s and released as an acne treatment in 1995. The treatment kit is comprised of 3 separate solutions; a cleanser, a toner, and a repairing lotion.

Earth Hour 2008 is Here… Let’s Make A Difference!!!

Last year Sydney, Australia, made a lone stand against global warming with the entire city going dark. Thousands of businesses and local governments, and millions of residents, switched off their lights for 1 hour to save power and to send a message that something needs to be done about it.

This year, at 8pm on 29 March 2008, Earth Hour goes global, with cities and towns around the world taking stand on the greatest threat our planet has ever faced, and millions of people uniting to turn the tide on global warming.

Bruunhause Reviewed - What A Crock!

So here we have another acne “miracle” cure, Bruunhause. But this one actually ticks me off! And I’m not easily ticked off…

To start with, according to their website, this is named the “Strongest Acne Serum in the World”. Based on what? Did they actually test this against every possible acne serum available? Was there an independent study done or are they just talking crap?

And straight away I can see that there is no ‘ingredients’ page. I never buy anything unless I know the ingredients. I mean to start with what if you have allergies? I don’t but if I did that would concern me. And the fact that they haven’t considered this shows they have no medical training whatsoever.

Zyporex - Finally Reviewed…

“Zyporex? What’s that? Has anyone used it?” I’ve been seeing this question all over the net. You can’t go to an acne forum (e.g. Yahoo Answers, Acne.org, and the My Acne Review Forum) without seeing a post about this new product. But there aren’t many useful responses or reviews yet so I decided to investigate it myself and provide you with as much information about it as possible.

Let me start by saying that Zyporex is basically just an exfoliating scrub. So, while it has some differences to make it better, if other exfoliating scrubs have not “cured” your acne, then neither will this one.

Natural Vitamin A: The Safe Alternative To Accutane

Most of you will know about Accutane, Isotretinoin, or any of the other names given to the synthetic drug prescribed for severe acne sufferers. However, if you have not researched it or taken it yourself you may not be aware that this drug is simply a synthetic (manufactured), pre-formed vitamin A replacement.

Most of you will also know that synthetic drugs and vitamins more often than not have a negative side-effect on the human body that comes with the benefits. Accutane is no different. Now, yes, Accutane is a proven treatment for acne and I don’t doubt that it works but the fact that a prescription is needed to purchase it and a liability waver must be signed is proof enough that it is dangerous. Prescription acne treatments in general have are similarly unsafe, and medical supervision and advice is always required for these treatments. That is not to say that they will all cause you harm, because they won’t. But if a safer, natural and equally effective alternative is available then isn’t that always the better option?
