How to tackle acne (from the inside and out)

When suffering from acne as a teenager, there are so many products and treatments to choose from. But as an adult? Not so much. Which is surprising considering 35 per cent of women and 50 per cent men suffer from the skin condition*. Blemishes and pimples during adult years can usually be linked to hormonal changes, so in order to clear up your skin, you have to work from the inside and out - something that’s often overlooked when it comes to acne remedies.
The new Qsilica Naturally CLEAR range helps do exactly that, with a natural, holistic regimen formulated to soothe irritated skin and clear blemishes. The three-step treatment works both internally and topically, helping to cleanse skin and address and repair the symptoms of acne.
Want to know how it works? We thought so!
#1 CLEANSE
The first step in any skin routine is of course, to cleanse. Qsilica Naturally CLEAR Cleanser is a gentle, yet effective cleanser, formulated to externally remove all traces of dirt, make-up, dead skin cells and oil on your skin. As mentioned above, you also have to address what’s going on inside your body, which is where the Qsilica Naturally CLEAR Skin Support Tablets come into play. The tablets work to detoxify, cleanse and purify your blood internally, using herbal extracts of barberry, burdock roots and green tea. So now your skin is reaping the benefits of a thorough cleanse on the outside with the cleanser, and the support tablets are helping to cleanse your insides too.
#2 TREAT
As for targeting surface blemishes and pimples, Qsilica Naturally CLEAR Spot Gel and the Skin Support Tablets are another powerful duo. The Spot Gel is applied to the affected area to kill pimple-causing bacteria and remove dead skin cells with the help of salicylic acid, willow herb, mineral silica and tea tree extracts. And while it’s working to reduce the appearance of blemishes on the surface, the Skin Support Tablets you’ve already taken are offering aid on the inside to support normal hormone function through androgen regulation and using antioxidants to assist the body’s free radical defences.
#3 REPAIR
The third internal step of the Skin Support Tablets (one little tablet does a lot, right?!) is to promote skin healing through cellular support and to assist skin repair with the help of vitamin A and zinc. Remember the Cleanser and Spot Treatment do their bit too, also containing soothing and nurturing ingredients. If you’re worried about the Cleanser potentially drying out your skin, fear not! It’s formulated with vitamin E, jojoba oil and mineral silica to help rebalance your skin and help it retain its natural moisturiser. And as for the Spot Gel, it utilises the naturally-soothing extracts of aloe vera and cucumber to calm irritated skin as it fights blemishes.
What sets Qsilica apart from other acne treatments is that it approaches breakouts a different way, working with your body to return balance, as well as delivering the right ingredients to your skin. All three products play a part in helping to regain beautiful skin and give you confidence, plus they can be purchased in the one handy pack - Qsilica Naturally CLEAR Blemish Control Kit.
Top tip: If you’re a bride-to-be and want to avoid the stress of a breakout as you plan your wedding, the Qsilica Naturally CLEAR range is a great routine to use in the lead up to your big day. Nothing like a last minute pimple to cause a freak out!

Great to read an article that doesn't talk about suppressing the issue, but balances the inside and the out! :-)
Our skin is a huge detox and digestive organ (the biggest infact) and when things appear on the skin (spots, rashes etc) it is our body's last ditch attempt for attention....pleading with us to pay attention and change something
I wrote a short blog on a few things to consider too: http://blog.naturalchemist.com.au/troublesome-bothersome-acne/

These might work for some acne, but acne along the jawline and neck is hormonal. :( That's my really only problem area. Maybe one or two on my cheeks if I wear foundation all day and forget to take it off. Sadly it doesn't seem like it would be helpful to me.

I do, I have and think I always will because my mum is in her early 50s and still struggles with adult acne

Would love to read some reviews of beauties who have tried these tablets. I had really horrible acne throughout my teenage years, and two rounds of roaccutane later, they have finally disappeared, although I am also on the pill due to my hormones (which I suspect caused my breakouts in the first place).

Sounds like me with that horrid adult blemish popping up when it's least appreciated. I guess I won't know if this miracle product works until I give it a go. I would want to know more about this product first though because if blemishes pop up although I'm truly eating organic and healthily, then I'm just wondering if something like that is missing in my diet - hmm

Been through hell getting acne and then being on Roaccutane. Finally I'm clear and I hope I stay clear.

I'm very grateful that I've never had acne. Two pimples at once is a breakout for me.

I got acne-like blemishes when I was in my twenties, and they cleared up after I addressed some health issues with herbs. Now I only get blemishes if my face doesn't like an ingredient in a product.

The Qsilica system sounds interesting in that they offer both a topical and oral treatment. I think it's definitely useful to treat skin problems both internally and externally
