Acne Free In 30 Days
Probably the most common marketing phrase for acne treatment products
is “acne free in 30 days” where the promised number of
days for an
acne
cure seems to get less and less and acne treatment becomes one
of the highest grossing dermatological sectors in consumerism. But
is this acne free claim reliable? Can a product really make you acne
free in 30 days, regardless of your acne type?
The answer is no, and sometimes yes.
As we learned in out in our acne cream products section, there are
many different skin types and many different acne types and levels
of severity. To claim a product can treat any or all of these acne
types, for people with all types of skin is an obvious over-zealous
marketing claim that is most likely false. In many cases, such as
with hormonal
acne,
acne control is the only treatment available where acne is significantly
decreased until the hormones are balanced once again (such as after
puberty, pregnancy or menopause).
Of course, the answer can be yes; an
acne
product can make you acne free in 30 days. Depending on the severity
of your acne, and your skin type, some products may actually clear
your acne in less time. Although this is uncommon, it is not impossible.
Therefore, although an
acne
product cannot guarantee that you will be acne free in x days,
there is a chance it can do just that.
However, following that vein of thinking, realistically any acne treatment
could make you acne free in 30 days, including the implementation
of a simple cleansing routine. There are many natural products, such
as the astringent rose water, that can be used in a cleansing routine
that can conceivably ‘cure’ your acne in 30 days. For
more information see our
best
acne treatments section.
The lesson to learn here is that different people suffer from different
types of acne. The answer to the
how
to treat acne problem is to do your research, implement a regular
hygiene routine of acne cleansing and not hold any product or regiment
to a deadline. Talk to your physician or dermatologist about your
skin type and the options available to you. These experts will probably
have a good idea of the actual efficacy of most products, and will
let you know which ones to stay away from.
