Summarize the following:
Bovine cartilage is a substance found in a cow's body that provides structural support to the bones. When extracted, it can be a quick and powerful acne cure.  Look for creams that contain 5% bovine cartilage. These can be found at department and health stores across the country.  Apply the creams twice daily for optimal results. Many lotions contain green tea extract, a herbal derivative of green tea leaves. It can be effective in combating acne breakouts.  Look for lotions containing at least 2% green tea extract. These can be found at department, drug, and health food stores.  This method works best in teens and adolescents and with people suffering from mild acne. If you're older, and your acne is severe, you might want to try another option. Aloe vera is a plant species that is used in small amounts in many gels and creams. It's very effective when it comes to fighting acne.  Aim for a 50% aloe vera gel and combine it with a conventional acne drug. Studies show using aloe vera alongside other medications is significantly better than using other methods alone.  Try to apply aloe vera while using an over the counter face creams. Use the amount recommended on the bottle. Do not use more than needed as this might result in skin irritation.  Aloe vera can work fast, but this is not always the case. It can sometimes take up to 8 weeks to work. Tea tree oil has long been considered good for the skin. Tea tree oil is effective in treating acne, but takes longer to work and you should not look to it if you want a fast cure.  Tea tree oil's main benefit is that it has less side effects than benzoyl cream and tends to eliminate acne more effectively. However, it takes significantly longer to have an effect. While it might be great for a longterm cure, it's not the best option for fast acting treatments.  Tea tree can cause contact dermatitis if you have an allergy. If you notice symptoms worsening, cease use.  Tea tree oil should never be taken orally, and can be particularly harmful to children if taken by mouth. Always dilute tea tree oil with another oil, like olive or almond oil, if you do choose to use it. Some oils have antibacterial and antiseptic properties that can help eliminate acne fast. If you're looking for a fast cure, they're worth a try. Remember, however, that you should never ingest essential oils. Only apply them topically.  Spearmint or peppermint can be diluted in a quart of water and applied to the face. The menthol in these substances has antiseptic properties. Lavender, thyme, and calendula all have antibacterial properties that can cleanse the face and eliminate blemishes quickly. Rosemary and oregano have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. These are hard to find in essential oil form, so you can instead use kitchen spices by diluting half a teaspoon of dried herbs in water.
Look for creams containing bovine cartilage. Try green tea extract. Use aloe vera. Avoid tea tree oil for a fast cure. Try other essential oils.
