| The above phrase, “acne
free in 30 days,” is very common when people are
searching for acne cures or treatment on the internet.
While the phrase certainly grabs the attention of any
acne sufferer, it's promise can mask the complexity of
an adequate acne treatment.
The efficacy of any acne treatment depends on a number
of different factors. Regardless of the product, results
always vary from person to person. Take, for example
the genetics of the person who has acne. Some people
are genetically pre-disposed to get acne due to genetic
hormone levels. Quite obviously, no acne
products can alter genes.
Someone with sensitive skin needs to proceed with extra
care before responding to the claim “acne free
in 30 days.” Someone with sensitive skin can not
always handle a potent acne treatment. Someone with
sensitive skin may need to use less of the product or
use a different product altogether.
The claim “acne free in 30 days” appeals
to people living in today’s fast-paced world.
Our fast paced lives actually increase our stress, and
can be a cause in itself of acne flare-ups. Patient,
organized treatment is usually always best for people
who are serious about treating their acne and are looking
for information and solutions on how
to treat acne.
There are other loose examples of how an 'acne free
in 30 days' product can be unrealistic. Suppose, for
example, someone with acne
needs to travel a great deal and must cross time zones
during those travels. Time changes can make it hard
to follow the directions for any medical treatment.
Time changes can also add an element of stress to one’s
life. Those two factors could easily diminish the promised
effectiveness of any acne treatment.
Of course, all acne
treatments involves the use of a medication. Some
involve changes in diet. Still, even dietary changes
do not work the same for every person. Some people with
acne have food allergies. They might not be able to
eat many of the foods in the suggested diet.
All of these examples are written simply to show that
'acne free in 30 days' should never be taken literally.
Using the product may be fine, but the expectation of
instant acne treatment, even with the best
acne treatments, and the inevitable disappointment
when acne is not cured, can lead to stress and cause
further skin problems.
