Are Acne Treatments for Men Really Any Different?

Are Acne Treatments for Men Really Any Different?

In answer to the question above, no, men’s acne treatments really are not any different from those that women are using.  They are all based on the same principle, because all acne is caused by the same thing – excess sebum building up and dirt collecting in the pores, causing inflammation and acne postules under the skin, , and under the skin, painful hormonal acne.

Most work on this concept, unless you are under a dermatologists’s care and they are specifically treating you as a man or woman with acne with some sort of targeted hormonally related treatment, which I’m not really sure about, if it even exists.  Salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide are two of the most popular and widely used products topically that you can get over the counter, but there are other prescription medications that can be used as well that are great for both men and women who have acne.
