Around 80% of people suffer from some form of acne in their lives, and although many of these cases can be dealt with by using over-the-counter medications, some require extra attention. Often this can involve multiple trips to professionals, incurring ongoing costs and taking up a lot of time. Or maybe you don’t have the time to let your spots disappear naturally? Recent movements in skin care technology now mean that you can take care of blemishes and acne from the comfort of your own home, and take control of your treatment again. No matter the severity of your acne or the budget you have, there’s a home-use treatment to help. Here's how to get rid of acne the CURRENTBODY way: 
Clarisonic Mia 2 Deep Pore Solution Kit
The Clarisonic Mia 2 uses patented micro-massage motion technology to work with your skin’s natural elasticity and rid your pores of oil, dirt and makeup that can cause spots. The bristles rotate at 300 oscillations per second, meaning it’s extremely effective at cleansing but also really gentle too. It’s great as prevention to acne, and will leave your skin feeling clean and fresh. The cleanser and clay mask that come with this kit help to control oil and help with large, open pores too.
Rio Skin Clear Acne Treatment
This handy little device uses a combination of red and blue light therapy to kill the bacteria that causes acne and reduce the inflammation that’s often associated with it. It’s extremely affordable, and you should see a difference within 4 weeks. It’s considered to be significantly more effective than Benzoyl Peroxide, which is a commonly prescribed acne cream that can take up to 3 months to take effect. To use it, all you need to do is place the tip against the affected area for 8 minutes on a daily basis. It’s best to continue doing so for between 8 and 12 weeks, depending on the severity of your acne. After that, you can use it whenever you have a breakout to ease the inflammation.
Riiviva Microderm Exfoliator
Often, after you’ve been using acne cream, you can be left with scars and extremely dry skin due to the treatment’s ingredients. This is where a microdermabrasion device can come in extremely handy. By using a device like the Riiviva Microderm Facial Exfoliator, the surface of your skin will be rid of any dead or excess skin cells, as the vacuums sucks them away into its canister. This means your face will feel much more smooth – in fact in a clinical trial 100% of people reported an improvement in their acne scars within 6 weeks of use.
