Colloidal Silver Acne Treatment – Does It Work?

Benefits of Silver for Acne

Thinking about trying a colloidal silver acne treatment? Well you’re not alone.

As a health advisor, I was often asked about the benefits of colloidal silver for everything from parasites to acne treatment.

Here is some information on the benefits and dangers of colloidal silver.........................… 

Health Benefits of Colloidal Silver

So what is colloidal silver and what are some of it's uses?

Well, it's a silver product processed with electricity that contains microscopic particles of silver compounds suspend in purified water.

The major benefits of colloidal silver is that it is a very strong germicide and antibiotic.

It helps to destroy specific enzymes that bacteria needs in order to grow.

So, it also has anti-bacterial properties too. 

The easiest way to use colloidal silver for acne is in a gel form. The liquid form of colloidal silver (the usual way it's packaged) is too messy and drippy and hard to use for the face.

Many people use it for a variety of skin disorders, like acne, eczema, and psoriasis.

Medical Uses of Colloidal Silver

Dr. Harry Margraf, a colloidal silver researcher, believes that colloidal silver is one of the best, natural, non-toxic germ fighters around.

Dr. Robert Becker – another silver researcher - found that silver ion particles help to promote bone growth and destroy bacteria around the surrounding tissue.

The Science Digest magazine published an article on the potency of colloidal silver for destroying germs.

The article stated: “Thanks to eye-opening research, silver is emerging as a wonder of modern medicine. An antibiotic kills perhaps a half-dozen different disease organisms, but silver kills some 650. Resistant strains fail to develop. Moreover, silver is virtually non-toxic."

The benefits of colloidal silver extend to improved healing from burns and cuts to reduce scarring and infection when used topically.

It's also said to relieve pain too.

It is suggested that unlike standard antibiotics, colloidal silver will not destroy the good bacteria along with the bad.

This could be why some people have used it (internally and topically) for acne treatment.

Yet, despite the studies and excellent medical uses – colloidal silver acne treatment just didn't catch on as a popular treatment.

This surprised silver enthusiast because there are plenty of facts supporting the positive effects colloidal silver had on all kinds of bacteria, fungus, viruses, and more.

And, since everyone knows that one of the factors of acne is excess bacteria…..it stood to reason that it would work.

However, while colloidal silver may kill off some acne causing bacteria – for some people the main or root cause of acne stems deeper. 

That’s why a three pronged approach to treating acne must be used if you want true success.

For acne a simple, gentle herbal/organic 3 step approach works ever time. These 3 steps are as follows:

• Clean the skin well – but do NOT over dry
• Exfoliate gently to unclog and uncover pores
• Heal from with-in the body to prevent acne eruptions from damaging the skin

Colloidal Silver Danger

The colloidal silver danger mostly exists for those want to learn how to make colloidal silver or ingest "homemade" colloidal silver.

Certain research suggests that excess intake of improperly made silver products may result in argyria, which is a skin condition where the skin turns blue.

This is due to an excess of silver ions deposited into the skin, then darkened when exposed to sunlight.

Before you try to ingest colloidal silver for acne of any other condition, you might wish to check with your physician fist.

And, if you purchase a gel or cream - always follow the directions.
