Then there's the TriClear Acne Eliminator, which a friend of mine used with admittedly impressive results. As the name indicates, the TriClear process involves three steps: cleaning with a purifying cleanser, healing with a repair gel, and soothing with a revitalizing cream. The idea is to "reduce the appearance of acne, control excess oil production and prevent future breakouts". Marilee, the friend who used the TriClear products, says her acne-scarred face looked significantly less raw and ravaged after only a week.
Retinoids Help Normalize KeratinizationAlthough the mechanism by which topical and systemic retinoids help restore acne follicles to a healthy state is unknown, it has been well demonstrated that they normalize keratinization within the infundibular region of the follicle, so that shed follicular cells slough to the surface of the skin rather than clump together and obstruct the pores.After exposure to retinoids, follicular cells actually turn over more rapidly than they would in a pre-acne state.Retinoic acid has a high affinity for the gamma retinoid receptors, which are believed to be integral to the pathogenesis of acne.In addition to their ability to reverse abnormal keratinization within the follicle, the topical retinoids - especially adapalene (Differin®), a naphthoic acid derivative - may have anti-inflammatory properties and thus may address two factors involved in the development of acne.
If the acne attack on your back is severe you should seek the advice of a dermatologist who may see fit to put you on topical or oral prescription medication. It is important that you treat severe acne as soon as you can to avoid scarring like my high school friend.
