Cystic Acne Is One Of Two Ugly Brothers




Like Nodule Acne, I find Cystic Acne To Be Deep, Huge And PAINFUL.

This type of acne seems to stay with me just as long as nodule acne. As a matter of fact, these two types like to show up and hang out together.



Cysts are soft sac-like lesions, filled with fluid, usually pus. They are large, about 5mm in size (these are big boys), sometimes severely inflamed and extend deep under the skin. Like nodule acne, this form of acne can cause scarring. You do not want to pick or squeeze these lesions! Doing so may create further inflammation, infection and scarring.


Along with the other serious forms of acne, cysts can wreak havoc on ones face, body and self esteem.

It is important to recognize this type of acne for what it is…SERIOUS.

Thankfully, with good treatment options, I have control over this type of acne, and so will you!

Since this is serious acne, you may need the help of your dermatologist, but I know of a few proven tips that have worked exceptionally well for my cystic acne.

It's important to know, you will also need to tackle this form of acne internally as well as externally.

My experience, products which contain Glycolic Acid are the only over-the-counter (OTC) acne treatment products that have shown to have a significant effect on this type of acne.

With cystic acne, you need to know how to control oily skin and you can accomplish this with products which contain Glycolic Acid. I have a couple of favorites to share with you.

First there is MD Formulations Oil Control Skin Kit. This was my first "strong" dose of Glycolic Acid.

Another brand I really like is Peter Thomas Roth Acne Treatment Kit ($50 Value!). I especially like the face wash.

Again, both products will give you great results.

Remember I mentioned earlier that it was equally as important to tackle this acne from the inside as well? This is where I'd like to mention vitamins for clear skin. You will find lots of good vitamins and supplement known to help with all types of acne!

If all else fails, it may become necessary to receive oral acne medication for your cystic acne.

Last, but certainly not least, I want to share with you the best kept secret in controlling acne! I call this my secret weapon!

Rooibos Tea
Rooibos Tea is hands down, one of the best kept secrets among "natural ways" to combat acne. This is how I prevent oily skin and stay in control of my acne!

With the combination of an EXCELLENT acne treatment which contains Glycolic Acid, along with Rooibos Tea, you will be able to gain control of your acne!

Rooibos Tea Testimonies


I have teenage acne and it bothers me. Recently I purchaced Starbucks Vanilla Rooibos tea. After drinking a few cups i felt so much better! My acne calmed down and i felt good about myself! Thanks so much!

I got some Rooibos Tea Double Red Rooibos at my local organic market day before yesterday, because I had a sore throat and wanted to get a couple different kinds of tea to drink hot to help with my throat. This morning, I looked in the mirror and noticed, even though I've been awfully sick, how good my face looks. I'll have to get back to y'all about how I look in a week or two, but if this is the power of Red Rooibos Tea, I'm sold!

I've had severe acne for more than 10 years and i have a complete collection of acne cream and face wash in my possession. I've been drinking green tea for 5 - 6 months now, there were some improvements but not as good as i was expecting and the caffeine present in green tea didn't do any good either. But seriously ? After reading this article i thought why not? let's give it a try! As green tea was 1 of the only thing that actually made a difference, i started to believe in herbal teas.

While being on a low G.I diet, i brought a pack of fresh Rooibos tea and had about 8 - 10 cups a day...and after only 3 days, believe me or not, my acne was completely gone! Those huge cysts i had on both cheeks were all 'dried up' and can only be described as brown spots by now. This is so unexpected that i still can't believe it myself.

If you've had acne like me for so long and tried about everything, Rooibos tea might be the real remedy for some of us, but i don't know if the results would be the same for everyone eventually but well, just give it a try :)

Thank you so much for sharing!!!

*Spreading the love :)
