There are a number of natural therapies that are acne treatments. For example, 
the use of tea tree oil directly on the acne can help to speed healing. With 
naturally antiseptic qualities, the tea tree oil works to reduce the inflammation 
and the oily consistency reduces the possibility of dryness. This natural therapy 
is found in many drugstores and well as health food stores. It can sting at first, 
but it can be used as often as you feel is necessary and even works as a 
prevention method.

Over the counter remedies are acne treatments that most people are aware of. 
They tend to include two basic ingredients: benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. 
Both of these ingredients help to dry up excess oil and lessen the appearance of 
acne as well as prevent future breakouts. Some people are sensitive to these 
drying agents, so be sure to use sparingly when you first begin. You will also 
want to remember that some of these creams can bleach clothing and towels, so 
be sure to rinse completely from your skin before wiping dry.
