I am a big fan of Twitter and so is it seems Miley Cyrus. recently Miley Cyrus was tweeting about what she uses to treat her acne (even pop superstars have skin problems) and says that she uses Sensai – A product I had never heard of.

Miley Cyrus isn’t one to hold back on her beauty secrets.  Some girls out there want to keep it to themselves if they have a skin problem
at all.  Not Miley, she confesses her struggle with acne via her Twitter page and tells the world what worked for her.

Years ago I took Accutane to get rid of my acne. Actually I did two cycles of Accutane and it did indeed work but the cost was really high. Accutane was easily the most expensive drug I have ever used and the best for curing acne. But now Accutane looks like it is going to be off the market and isotretinoin based drugs will become generic now.

Roche said Friday it will stop selling the acne drug Accutane as sales of the treatment continue falling amid competition from less expensive generic versions.

Generic versions of the acne treatment have been on the market since 2002 and Roche’s branded product’s market share has since slipped to less than 5 percent.

The decision was made for economic reasons, not safety reasons, the company said. The drug has a rocky safety history, having been linked to birth defects if taken during pregnancy, along with depression and suicidal thoughts. The company said costs for personal-injury lawsuits are high, but it continues to “rigorously” defend the drug.

Here are some homemade acne care solutions that you can easily try.

Silica-encapsulated benzoyl peroxide improved acne more with less skin irritation than a conventional form of the medication, according to results of a randomized clinical trial.

Two different strengths of silica-encapsulated drug significantly reduced lesion counts compared with nonencapsulated therapy, Daniela Mavor, of Sol Gel Technologies in Ness Ziona, Israel, reported at the International Congress of Dermatology.

Differences in efficacy and tolerability emerged early and persisted through the study.

“As early as week two, we noted a reduction of acne lesions, which was significantly superior to leading commercial products,” Stanley Shapiro, Ph.D., also of Sol Gel, said in a statement. “At week four, a 75% improvement was achieved.

“Throughout the study, the high-strength acne kits were significantly better tolerated than the two commercial products,” he said.

Benzoyl peroxide is an established therapy for acne, but the compound often causes burning and irritation that ranges from mild to severe. Read the rest of this entry »
