Acne usually occurs in teens, when we undergo many physiological changes. This is triggered off by certain hormones like testosterone, progesterone, estrogen and a few others, which are produced by our body. These hormones, although not directly responsible for acne, do influence acne indirectly. These hormones influence the sebaceous glands and make them produce more sebum. The main function of sebum is to check escaping of moisture from the skin and maintain its moisture content, thereby protecting it from cracks, infections etc. Normally, this sebum comes out on the surface of the skin through mouth of sebaceous glands opening in pores. Everything goes on fine until these pores are closed due to physiological changes as well as dead skin and dust smeared in sebum acting as a cap on these pores. Here the problem begins. This sebum gets accumulated and the pores swell into red, inflammatory acne. So, you can understand that since the cause of acne is so complex, to get rid of acne overnight, home remedies won't work in most cases.
With any treatment, four to six weeks is generally needed for any improvement.
For the first few years of suffering from acne I spent lots of money on these acne cleansers, and would hope the next product would be "the one". Little did I know I was being taking advantage of by greedy companies.
