Acne treatment article series: Acne treatment solution from the Ministry of Health Malaysia Dermatologists vs Estheticians

Are you confused with the terms above? Who do you see for your skin problems? Should you see your regular doctor? Should you go to a beauty centre and consult your esthetician?

Is there a permanent cure for acne or are all acne sufferers sentenced to the Sisyphean battle of tackling the ‘on the surface’ symptoms? Is there an honest, natural and safer alternative to the endless use of over the counters and to the nasty side effects inflicted by conventional drugs, creams and topical acne treatments?
