Acne severe adult and how to clear up hormonal acne

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.
Many of these remedies provide a reasonable solution for many people, at least in the short term. But the trouble with most of these treatments is that they have side effects. Because they aim to cure your condition by drying up the excess moisture inside the spots, invariably they also add to the dryness of the skin surrounding the spots as well. This often produces further irritation, which brings the process full circle with further outbreaks of acne.
One process available is a chemical peels regimen but this is an expensive technique that is only suitable for mild skin pockmarks. Another is dermabrasion but this requires multiple treatments and maintenance and with each appointment at a clinic this can prove to be an expensive process, there is also the risk of the skin becoming infected with this procedure.
