Acne Misconception #4 (”For Acne, all you need is to just…..”)
The biggest misconception about acne is the idea that it is a simple problem. Decades of acne marketing with a smile have mislead the public to believe that acne is something you can “just” fix with a small tweak in your washing or nutritional routine. I always encourage my patients to try any simple acne program sold on the market, only to get an idea of how this condition is not as simple as it seems.
I often get worried when I hear people give others acne advice with a breezy tone that sounds like this: “All you have to do is just………” With persistent acne, there is no “just” do this or that. It can be very stubborn and very complicated.
We created this program to handle the complexity of persistent Acne. All possible scenarios can be handled in a new tone that sounds more like this: “Pay attention, this is not a simple problem to defeat. However, although it is powerful, it can ALWAYS be beaten.” I give online support with all our programs to specifically address the stubborness of this chronic condition.

Can you please tell my mom this! I’m 17 years old and have had acne since I was 11. And for these 6 long years, my mom is always telling me “all you need to do is wash your face with Dove soap.” I always reply with “I wish it was that easy.”.
