Acne Misconception #1 (”Genetics”)
Genetics does indeed have a large influence on one’s capacity to fall into a State of Acne Proneness. The oil gland’s behavior pattern and distribution can vary greatly between and within all ethnic groups. However, the idea of Genetics being the “cause” of acne bears great potential repercussions because at this time, our genetics are not changeable. So it would stand that if acne is primarily cased by genetics, and genetics are not changeable, then acne is also not changeable!? The video gallery has already proven otherwise demonstrating that the conversation of genetics and acne is one of mistaken pessimism and is unimportant in the treatment of this condition.

I completely agree that genetics play a role in your “acne proneness”. My family is a walking testament. Either my Grandma or Grandpa had severe acne or some form of acne in their days. Why I point the finger at them? Well, all the males in my family (first cousins) have or had severe acne like myself and are still battling with it. And all the girls in my family have or had a form of consistent moderate acne atleast once. Genetics absolutely play a major role with your skin condition.
