Cystic Acne: How To Get Rid Of It

5 Recommended Medication Remedies to Treat Cystic Acne

On the morning I was to deliver a keynote speech for a prestigious women’s event, I woke up with the biggest, reddest, zit on my cheek!! AAAAHHH!!! Really?? Of all days, right? I was able to cover the redness with a very thick foundation, but it was still painful. Due to being on busy with projects, training my clients, and traveling, my body was out of balance. If this has ever happened to you, learn what you can do to keep breakouts from happening. Keep reading…

Stop hiding your TRUE beauty! Get healthy, glamorous oil-free skin that’s surprisingly silky smooth and satin soft! Have balanced, dewy, glowing skin in just a few weeks!

Hi Victoria,

I’m new to your newsletter and to your skincare line. I’m very impressed with your philosophy and the quality of your skincare line. I use your Deep Pore Refining Daily Cleanser and my skin has improved so much! But, I’m still experiencing the core challenges of cystic acne. I’m 20 years old and I’ve been dealing with this particular acne problem since a teen. Recently, I had a job interview scheduled, and on the day of the interview, I woke up with not one, but 3 huge pimples on my face!! I was horrified! Of course, I didn’t cancel the interview, but I didn’t want to go. After putting on my makeup and extra powder, I was able to cover them. The interview went well, but I had to fight my mind from self-conscious thoughts. Lucky for me I got the job, but I never want that to happen again! What can I do so to lessen breakouts? Better yet, can you give me a few suggestions on how I can get rid of cystic acne forever?

Sincerely ~ Rachel

Hi Rachel,

Thank you so much for being a fan and for subscribing to my weekly newsletter. Yes, it is very hard to find an effective cure for cystic acne. I suffered from acne for years and it can be physically and emotionally debilitating. My heart goes out to anyone who is dealing with acne, especially cystic acne. My troubled skin coupled with being 60 pounds overweight reflected my unhealthy lifestyle. I’m not saying your lifestyle is unhealthy, but I will say that there are imbalances we all have in our body that needs to be addressed. These imbalances can show up in different ways and cystic acne is one of them. Cystic acne affects not only the superficial skin but attacks the tissues within. This could lead to permanent damage to your skin that shows up as acne scars. Acne is bad enough but carrying the scars that go with can hurt your confidence in yourself. When I changed my diet, exercised, lost weight, and began experimenting with natural solutions to acne is when I got rid of it. Being that so many teens and adults suffer from this condition, I added to the Skin Tight Naturals collection, the Clarifying Series. My Advanced Clarifying Toner is one of 5 products in the collection. You can check it out here. It helps restore your natural pH levels. Our Balancing facial toner is made up of a natural blend of ingredients that work synergistically to combat and eliminate excess oil. Controlling your skin’s oil production is essential for you to have clear smooth healthy skin. It’s made from the purest form of natural ingredients which are biocompatible for your skin. They do not contain any GMOs, petrochemicals, sulfates, or synthetic dyes. The clarifying series can be your skincare gang! In addition to applying this amazing team to your skin daily, here are my recommendations for the top 5 medication remedies to treat cystic acne.

5 Recommended Medication Remedies to Treat Cystic Acne

Dull dead skin hides your beauty! After applying this fresh-feeling toner your skin is left clean, pure, radiant, and glowing. Not only does it purify your skin cells, but it also revitalizes and soothes problem skin, leaving it silky-smooth and satin-soft and with a wonderful fresh feeling.

There are numerous suggested cures to treat cystic acne although you ought not to wait for cysts to show before becoming concerned with the pimples on your face. You need to identify the level of your acne condition so that the appropriate remedy can be applied. There are three identified stages of acne with the corresponding names for each form. Acne during the initial stage appears in the form of blackheads and whiteheads. It then graduates to what you refer to as pimples or zits. The final stage with the severest form is the cysts or nodules. This is the reason why you need to find a way to treat cystic acne.

Antibiotics are used to fight infection, but they can also kill your good gut flora and they lower your immune system. Make sure if you take an antibiotic add a probiotic.

1. Antibiotics

According to some health experts, one highly advised medication for treating cystic acne is via oral antibiotics. Antibiotics attack the bacteria that are present in the cysts to reduce the inflammation within. You should purchase medicines such as doxycycline or tetracycline capsules or pills, among others.

2. Contraceptives

Female contraceptives taken orally are likewise claimed to help treat cystic acne. The production of a high level of sebum triggers acne thus the release of sebaceous fluids needs to be controlled by the contraceptives. The downside is that this treatment may be taken only when approved and under the supervision of your doctor.

Having acne problems makes you feel like you are not in control of your life! I used to feel like hiding under a rock most days due to uncontrolled acne flare-ups. Getting skincare treatments will help correct your skin. Keep reading about which ones are best for you.

3. Corticosteroid Injections

A third option would be corticosteroid injections. The cysts are injected with steroids that are targeted to diminish the swelling after a few days. A skilled medical practitioner should be the one to perform this method as this is a delicate procedure. One of the benefits of this particular process to treat cystic acne is preventing the scarring as the cysts or nodules should dry up and disappear naturally.

Controlling your skin’s oil production is essential for you to have clear smooth healthy skin. Acne medication can help get rid of acne, yet it doesn’t target the root cause. My Clarifying Series helps to heal your skin in the deepest layers.

4. Stronger Drugs

Stronger drugs are only recommended if treatments like injections, steroids, or antibiotics don’t work. Isotretinoin is one of them. It is a powerful drug that’s used to treat the most severe cases of acne. Usually, it’s taken for about 15 – 20 weeks. The side effects include depression and anxiety, so you have to make sure you let your doctor know if you experience any side effects.

Taking vitamins is a form of treatment and prevention. However, they take a while to see results which generally occur within 12-16 weeks.

5. Vitamins

It’s best to get your daily vitamins from the food you eat. However, when you have certain health conditions like acne, there are certain vitamins that you need to take exclusively. Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and Vitamin E are powerful antioxidants. In addition, taking zinc and selenium helps your body make an enzyme called glutathione. Glutathione is an antioxidant naturally found in human cells that neutralizes free radicals, boosts your immune system, and detoxifies your body. It helps to lighten your skin by preventing the enzyme tyrosinase from causing dark areas on your skin like dark spots caused by acne scarring. Taking Omega 3 fish oil will help reduce inflammation which is the redness and pain you feel with acne. Last, but not least, taking magnesium helps reduce cortisol caused by stress.

ADVANCED CLARIFYING TONER- Clarifying Series ANTI-AGING and ACNE

Benefits of The Powerhouse Base Natural Ingredient in this Advanced Clarifying Toner, Aloe Vera

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract:

Aloe barbadensis leaf extract juice, or Aloe Vera as it is more commonly known, is extracted from the leaves of the plant Aloe.
It has been used medicinally for several thousands of years in many cultures. Scientists have discovered over 200 nutritional substances in Aloe Barbadensis leaves, including 20 minerals, 20 amino acids, 12 vitamins, and active enzymes.
Aloe barbadensis leaf juice can soothe skin and serve as an anti-inflammatory.
It can be efficiently used topically, because of its burn-healing effects, scar reduction, and wound-healing properties.
Aloe protects the skin from UV damage. The herb contains aloe, which can block up to 30 percent of the ultraviolet rays when applied to the skin’s surface.
This plant, which carries the status of a superstar, contains an impressive number of vitamins, including A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, E, Choline, and Folic Acid.
These vitamins are great for protecting the skin from free radicals, dangerous compounds that cause signs of premature aging due to damaging effects on the DNA and other cell structures.
The herb also contains enzymes, consisting of organic molecules that rejuvenate aged tissues and promote healthy skin.
Scientists have shown that skin can absorb the key ingredients of Aloe up to 7 layers deep.
Aloe effectively stimulates proteolytic enzyme action in skin tissue, stimulating fibroblast cells that manufacture collagen.
Moreover, because of the aforementioned enzymatic breakdown of dead skin cells from Aloe, it is an excellent cleansing and detoxifying agent, that can remove dead skin cells and toxins while purifying the pores.
Aloe has antimicrobial properties against many common bacteria and fungi.
Eight essential amino acids can be found in Aloe Vera and they are Isoleucine, Tryptophan, Leucine, Phenylalanine, Lysine, Methionine, Threonine, and Valine. Aloe Vera also contains 12 non-essential amino acids, including Glutamine, Glycine, Alanine, Cysteine, Arginine, Proline, Glutamic acid Asparagine, Serine, Histidine, Tyrosine, and Aspartic acid.
Aloe provides 12 anthraquinones: Aloe-emodin, Aloetic Acid, Aloin, Anthracite, Antranol, Barbaloin, Chrysophanic Acid, Emodin, Ethereal Oil, Ester of Cinnamon Acid, Isobarbaloin, Resistannol. In relatively small concentrations they provide Analgesic, Antibacterial, Antifungal & Antiviral activity.

Victoria’s Celebrity Advanced Clarifying Toner – Benefits of The Base Natural Ingredients

Rosa Centifolia Flower Water

Rosehip has been shown to inhibit pigmentation which often shows up as “age spots” or sun spots, so may be found in sunscreens, skin lighteners, and other anti-aging crèmes.
Rose water helps to retain moisture and is mildly astringent, which helps to even skin tone and improve its appearance.
Rose water has long been used for its cosmetic benefit; its effect on the skin helps to soothe and calm, reducing redness and irritation. It has long been thought of as a tonic and is used to treat blemishes and nourish the skin. The water is extracted from the petals of the flower via a process of steam distillation and is thought to have been the first floral essential oil that was distilled.
Rosehip contains high levels of vitamin C, plus is rich in oils and proteins, which help keep skin soft and moisturized.
Rosehip water naturally contains retinol (vitamin A), which may help treat lines wrinkles, and other visible signs of aging.

Mentha Citrata (Bergamot) Leaf Extract:

It helps to soothe inflammation and promote healthy skin
Antibiotic & Disinfectant: Certain components of Bergamot are antibiotic and disinfectant in nature. They inhibit the growth of germs, viruses, and fungi.
They also effectively prohibit infections, including those of the skin.
It promotes fast healing of wounds, cracks on the skin and heels, ulcers, eczema, and itching.
It protects wounds from becoming septic and developing deadly tetanus.
It not only treats and heals the effects of other infections but inhibits the formation of new infections.

Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Extract:

The polyphenol most abundant in green tea, EGCG, is also thought by some scientists to reactivate dying skin cells.
Green tea extract is naturally rich in antioxidants, which has a cell-protecting function as well.
It has a strong antioxidant effect that protects the skin from the damaging effects of free radicals.
Green tea extract also contains Methylxanthines that stimulate skin microcirculation and therefore positively influence the tone and health of the skin.
Green tea extract can decrease wrinkles and also make you look younger.
Green tea extract is a good anti-inflammatory agent thereby reducing inflammation in the skin, and most importantly having an inhibitory action on collagenase (a collagen-reducing enzyme that breaks down collagen).
