About 60 million people have acne, 20% of adults and 85% of teens, plus 20% will have scaring from acne. ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Many patients ask us for solutions to clear their acne. Everyone's acne is slightly different and therefore the solution is typically customized for the best results. However, there are two steps that are standard; remove the oil and treat the skin. ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
To start, it is best to understand what causes your acne. Dr. B shares, "acne is a type of infection. An infection caused by bacteria in the pores. Bacteria eat fat such as the oil on your skin. When your skin produces more oil the chances for acne to develop are higher. To clear and prevent acne reduce the oil on your skin." ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
The key is two parts: ⁣⠀
Part one, cleanse the skin removing as much oil from your skin as possible. ⁣⠀
The second part, apply a treatment like glycolic acid. Glycolic acid is a miracle worker because it penetrates deep into the pores to clear impurities and remove the top layer of skin, taking with it acne and skin pigmentation. ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Using non-neutralized glycolic, in DermChoice products, will immediately activate the skin to renew itself. The result includes clearer, smoother skin.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀
Clean the skin and remove oil with pH Balanced Cleanser, Purifying Facial Toner, or Glycolic Peel Pads.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Treat the skin and prevent acne with Facial Enhancement Cream, Ultra Anti-Aging Cream. ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Pick two products and say good-bye to acne. ⁣⠀
